Description:
The 1965 Malibu SS 396, more commonly known by its RPO code of Z16, was an impressive showcase of engineering ability and sticker shock. The Z16 package included not only a 375 hp 396 ci engine and beefed up drivetrain, it included much of the Chevelle option list! RPO Z16 increased the base sticker price by more than half but included a sturdy boxed convertible frame, full-size Chevrolet brakes, a narrowed full-size Chevrolet rear axle, heavy duty suspension components including front and rear sway bars, power steering, power brakes, heavy duty cooling, tachometer, comfort and convenience group, and much more. It was not an average Chevelle with a bigger engine, far from it. To keep the profile high and demand strong, only 201 Malibu SS 396 cars were slated for production. 200 of these were hardtops, and only one was a convertible.
Since these Chevelles were so rare even among Chevy dealers, many of them were used as promotional tools with some being given to race winners and celebrities to promote the car's image.
Lane Collectibles has definitely made this replica one to have in your collection. The attention to detail here is second to none, with its fully plumbed and wired engine, folding seats, transmission, spare tire in the trunk, and more.
