* A typical 1965 Malibu (#3062 lbs.) with a 327/250 HP 4-Speed in 1965 would fall into E/Stock (11.89 - 12.49 Wt/Hp).
* In 1968, they were classed in I/Stock (12.00 - 12.49 Wt/Hp).
* Though the 'slightly' heavier Malibu 'convertible' 327/250 HP 4-Speed would fit nicely into F/Stock (12.50 -13.99 Wt/Hp).

The Malibu 327/250 HP was desired for the drag strip over the Malibu SS 327/250 HP, as the basic 1965 Malibu weighed
approximately 62 lbs. less than the 1965 Malibu SS.
