The Super Sport was already a popular name in the Impala world, so Chevrolet decided to push things a step further by introducing an SS version for the Chevelle, too.
Launched as the Malibu SS, the first Chevelle Super Sport included goodies not otherwise available on the standard models, such as 14-inch wheel covers, bucket seats, a floor console, and the typical SS emblems that everybody was and still is drooling over.
A 1965 Chevelle SS is fighting for survival on eBay, likely after spending a very long time in storage. The car is sitting in a storage unit, with the owner claiming it flexes the typical rust issues, including on the floors.
This isn't a surprise, as the rusty floors are a sign the car has been sleeping for many years. A storage unit isn't necessarily the worst place for a long tenure in hiding, but it's not the best either. Fortunately, the rust hasn't produced much damage, so I expect the undersides to require particular attention (or at least, more than anything else on this Chevelle).
eBay seller HOLLYWOOD GENERAL STORE says the car still has the SS goodies, including the bucket seats, but it also sells with many extras that could help with the restoration.
The owner doesn't provide many specifics about the engine, though they say the vehicle rolled off the assembly lines with a small-block V8 under the hood.
The 1965 Chevelle could be had with engine options donated by the Impala, including the 327 with 250 or 300 horsepower. Additionally, the GM brand also introduced a 350-horsepower option on the 1965 Chevelle.
The owner of this Chevelle doesn't answer many essential questions, so the car remains a mystery in so many regards. It's unclear if it still has the complete package, but all the photos shared on eBay seem to suggest that nothing big is missing. Even the convertible top is there, and it looks in good shape (though I think you should inspect the car in person to determine things like rust and other problems).
We also don't know if this Chevelle SS is entirely original. The engine is likely the one that came with the car when it rolled off the assembly lines, but a good mechanic should be able to tell more by opening the hood and inspecting everything inside.
The selling price is unsurprising for a Chevelle SS that looks complete and doesn't flex major rust problems. The owner hopes to get close to $20,000 for the car, but nobody has entered the race to take it home so far. It's still sitting in a storage unit, so whoever buys the car will have the opportunity to take it outside and then move it to a new home.
