A true original 138-code 1965 Malibu SS, professionally crafted by MINT Restorations six years ago. The silver metallic paint amplifies the muscle car profile, while the distinct wheel configuration - 18-inch Intro wheels up front paired with substantial 20-inch variants in the rear, fitted with performance Michelin rubber (215/45ZR18 front, 295/40R20 rear). Modern touches include electronic door locks, maintaining the clean lines while preserving the authentic Malibu SS badging.
The red leather interior displays masterful craftsmanship throughout. Custom bucket seats and matching door panels maintain continuity, while the billet-trimmed center console anchors the cabin's design. Dakota Digital gauges provide essential information, and a strategically hidden Alpine Bluetooth stereo system blends modern technology. A C3 Corvette tilt column offers optimal control positioning.
A modified 1999-sourced 6.0L LQ9 V8 features performance upgrades including LS3 heads and intake manifold. The 4L70E automatic transmission channels power to a GM 10-bolt rear end. Performance suspension includes tubular A-arms and adjustable coilovers up front, complemented by a 4-link rear layout with matching adjustable coilovers. Hedman long tubes connect to a MagnaFlow dual exhaust system. Electronic power disc brakes with slotted and drilled rotors deliver excellent stopping power.
