John’s 1965 Chevelle Malibu Convertible

Built From The Ground Up

John’s 1965 Chevelle Malibu Convertible

John bought this 1965 Chevelle Malibu in April of 1990 and has replaced just about every piece of the car over a span of 19 years, except for the trunk lid.

The Chevelle received a new frame, floors, trunk, doors, fenders, quarters, top, interior, 350 small block engine, TH350 transmission, and a lot more. John also added power disc brakes and drop spindles.

Future plans include new coil springs all the way around and a beefier sway bar. A lot of parts will also be sent out for chrome re-plating.

John owned a 1965 Chevelle SS hardtop in high school and says,

“I wish I never sold it. I’m keeping this one around for a while”.
