Vehicle Description
Ever since they first rolled off the line to do battle with their
muscle car counterparts, Chevelles have had a coolness all their
own - a certain O.G. status that came from being among the first in
the game. Lofty as that status may have always been, Chevy could
not have known that their universally respected creation would ever
be elevated to the level of this 1967 Chevelle Malibu. Outstanding
aesthetics, an enormous list of features and painstaking attention
to the details make this car an absolute showstopper.
The butternut yellow exterior on this beauty is absolutely
impeccable. It's a color befitting a car with this kind of lineage,
conveying just the right amount of retro confidence. Rebuilt
literally from the ground up, this Malibu began a new chapter in
its life with a frame-off restoration in 2004 and there's no doubt
this build was done with a very high degree of precision. Take a
lap around the car and you'll see how impressive the paint looks,
even up close, and just how flawlessly everything lines up. Front
to back, nothing but clean, new looking chrome everywhere, too -
ruler-straight bumpers, unmarred trim and a pristine front grille
where even the headlights glimmer with vitality. And the window
glass throughout is crystal-clear. It has a stance that has an
undeniable restomod appropriateness to it - certainly lowered but
not so much as to detract from its agile look - providing an
exclamation point to the serious presence of this classic, whose
distinctive scooped hood gives fair warning of the power that lies
beneath it.
Inside you'll find a custom vinyl interior that will knock you back
on your heels. Custom touches are everywhere and yet all appear
totally period appropriate at the same time. The butternut yellow
of the exterior has been brought inside and perfectly accents the
black vinyl found throughout. Reimagined front bucket seats sit on
each side of the custom center console and that center console
houses a one of a kind entertainment center, starting with a
seamlessly mounted DVD screen situated just below dash level. Both
sheer audio firepower and the expense that went into it are obvious
here. The top of the line AM/FM/CD system with iPod connectivity is
powered by amps located in the trunk alongside the sub-woofers. To
either side, an additional speaker has been installed inside door
panels that sit impressively flush. A full array of VDO gauges
reside inside the original cluster. The Vintage Air A/C is in
perfect operating condition and blows through both side and center
vents for maximum coverage. Open the trunk and you'll see a couple
of truly distinctive touches inside that pristine space, including
a power supply switch tucked to the side and a custom-covered spare
bearing the Chevy bowtie.
This Chevelle has been configured with performance to match its
looks. A freshly built Chevrolet 350V8 fed by a Holley performance
carb is paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission and sits in a
truly inspired engine compartment whose walls match the butternut
yellow of the exterior. With the internal wiring hidden from view,
the contrast of paint with the sea of chrome parts within its
confines - including the intake manifold, valve covers, air
cleaner, serpentine belt system, brake and power steering systems
setups, radiator hose and cover, and even the A/C compressor -
creates a unique and striking effect. In front sits a generously
sized aluminum radiator and reservoir, backed by dual electric fans
to keep temperatures down, regardless of driving conditions. Every
detail has been looked after and you'll notice even the hood hinges
are made of polished aluminum and have a look that's both
industrial and artistic at the same time. A set of new upper and
lower control arms provide this Chevelle with reassuring sturdiness
and its lowered stance and a set of Boyd Coddington 18" polished
aluminum rims ably complete its one of a kind look.
