Vehicle Description
History
The Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu is a mid-size car manufactured and
marketed by Chevrolet from 1964 to 1983 and since 1997. The Malibu
began as a trim-level of the Chevrolet Chevelle and it was named
after coastal community of Malibu, California.
The first Malibu was a top-line subseries of the mid-sized
Chevrolet Chevelle from 1964 to 1972. The Malibu SS was replaced in
1966 by a new Chevelle SS-396 series that included a big-block 396
cu in V8 engine.
Why This Car Is Special
This Chevelle Malibu we have at Skyway Classics is painted in
beautiful Butternut Yellow with a slick black interior. It has been
fully restored from top to bottom with a frame off restoration and
also has been modified by a professional engine rebuilder in
upstate NY with performance parts galore added to make it a
definite presence on the street or drag strip.
Mechanical Specs
Take a look at the pictures and you will see that it has a Big
Block Chevy 454 bored 30 over to 468 cubic inches, with a host of
high performance parts like a Holley Carb, MSD Ignition, Aluminum
Intake, Flowmaster Exhaust, chrome valve covers and air cleaner,
performance plumbing, headers, H.D. Fuel pump system, oversized
radiator, and even air conditioning.
The power gets pumped thru an automatic transmission that is
shifted by a B&M shifter inside the center console and it rides
on Weld Racing Wheels, suspension upgrades, front disc brakes with
rear drum brakes, and Hoosier tires.
Interior
According to the Trim Tag, the E on the options line stands for
Tinted glass, K for Air Conditioning, M stands for Powerglide
Transmission, and G for center console came on this car from the
factory.
The black bucket seat interior is great with competition belts in
the front and stock ones in the year, Autometer gauges, Ididit Tilt
steering, Air Conditioning, toggle switches, tachometer, and on and
on!
Exterior
The restoration was done in 2008 and is documented through the
complete process with pictures and receipts all in two large
binders that come with the car. According to the trim tag the
Chevelle was original built the fifth week of June in 1965 as a
1966 model. It was a Malibu Sport Coupe they built at Atlanta and
came from that factory painted Marina Blue with a blue interior. It
has since been badged as a SS 396 car with badges front, rear and
on the sides as well as the addition of the 468 Big Block
Chevy.
