In the event that a giant bag of money fell from the sky this week, we’d spend every penny on this kick ass 1965 Malibu SS and run it this weekend at the PSCA Record Breaker Nationals in Las Vegas. The car sports an all-aluminum 529ci Rodeck engine topped with a massive 14-71 Littlefield supercharger. The chassis is certified to six seconds flat, and looks pretty magnificent in the photos. This is obviously not the normal combination that guys are running in the small tire ranks. There’s no turbos or nitrous to be seen, and that’s OK with our knuckle dragging selves.
The black paint looks pretty close to perfect to our eye, even though there are plenty of fiberglass parts on this car like the nose, bumpers, and decklid. There’s either a lot of prep work into making those pieces straight and true, or the photos are hiding something.
This style of Chevelle is not the most common race car, especially in an age where the 10.5 Outlaw ranks are dominated by stuff like Mustangs, 80s G-Bodies and jelly bean shaped late model looking junk. In a certain way this car harks back to cars like Tom Sturm’s “Just 4 Chevy Lovers” which was a nitro bunning match bash funny car build from a Chevelle of this era.
The $50,000 asking price seems pretty good to us. The aluminum Rodeck motor and that huge blower are worth some serious sheckles, the effort put into the paint and body, certainly was worth a pile of dinero, and having a chassis that certs to six second flat is no cheap enterprise to boot.
This thing is mean!
