See??? that's why they have the Carbonfiber-print resin tail pipes now. They are good for 10 mph!

I personally like chrome. With taste, well maintained, and on CARS older than the average college student.

~KJ~ '72 Malibu

Give me a 66 Malibu SS and yes, your right. 1989 Honda civic? no I have seen so many shoddy chrome jobs though. it just looks cheap.

Well, like I said older than the average college student. More like 24+ years old... 'taste' 'maintained' and 'cars'... very key... Favorite Malibu year is 72... I like the 'big' curves/feeling of it - the older ones just look 'too small'

BTW there is no such thing as a Malibu SS - it's a Chevelle SS. The Malibu was 4 doors... sedan or hard top..... (I own a sedan) [my world would be a chevelle, dunno if I'd want a rag top though]

Not true. Here is but one of many examples. My father had one like this.

Okay, revelle? Sorry but that's about as reliable as .... as ... as a ford.

Not saying your wrong, but all that I have read points to says that an SS is a Chevelle, period. There are SS Chevelle clones, IE 2door malibus. Malibu's had less powerful engines, such as the 296 V6 or the 307 V8. They also ranged from 2 to 4 doors, and were either sedans or hard tops. (sedans have a pillar in-between the windows on the side doors). I don't know if they ever made convertible Malibus...

Personally, I don't care! Gimme a 2 door * with a rat under the hood and four on the floor and I'll cream my pants.

Chevelle stuff, no trucks here....

Malibu is just a trim package name for the Chevelle. There were four door Chevelle's and 2 door Malibu's. My first car was a 72 Chevelle with the Heavy Chevy package, IOW SS with a bench seat. Competition Orange, black stripes.

Here's some good pictures and a little history. The third page shows the

4 door 65 Chevelle and the 2 door Malibu SS. You get to the next page by clicking on the link at the bottom. For the record, in 66, Chevy built 438,607 Chevelles. 25,216 were 2 door Malibu models with L6 engines. I don't know how many V8's there were.

Here's another picture of a Malibu SS. Note the emblem on the rear fender.

What about the Impala SS?

My 1968 Impala SS427 coupe had a Muncie "rock crusher" 4-speed (very fast).

Most of all the Malibu SS's that I've seen were 2-door. BTW wasn't the SS designation originally put on the Impala in 1962 or 1963 and it denoted bucket seats along with a particular trim package?

Were talking solely about malibu's though. There are SS trucks, and even non-chevy SS vehicles...

I believe it stood for "Super Sport" I am not sure what was included in the package.

As soon as my buddy gets over here, I will snap off some pix of his SS. I don't remember the year off hand. I believe he has a 283(?) V-8, but don't quote me.
