Check out these groovy snapshots of the 1965 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu! The ’65 model year was a wild ride with the 327 engine becoming a regular production order. And who could forget the rare Malibu SS396 Z-16? Only 201 of these beasts rolled off the assembly line, making them rarer than a unicorn at a petting zoo. In ’65, a whopping 294,160 Chevelles were sold, including those snazzy SS versions. Canada held onto the Malibu SS badge until ’67. As of 2017, just 75 of the original Z-16s are still revving their engines.

The Chevy tri-five era, starring the 1956 Bel Air, was a time when cars were as flamboyant as Elvis’s sideburns.

Fast forward to a heartbreaking day in a GTO junkyard, where Larry and his son stumbled upon the skeletal remains of his beloved car. Missing its bumpers, engine, and more, it was a sad sight. Larry joked about almost shedding tears, with his son confirming, “I thought you were going to cry too.”
