Vehicle Description
A 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu convertible will always make a
great first impression. After all, the factory drop tops of this
muscle car legend are rare. But when you can have one with proper
SS tribute features, A/C interior, cool color combo, and a big
block under the hood, then you know you're looking at the standout
among standouts.
Nothing but red and black is exactly how you want a muscle car to
look, and so this has been prepared that way. The upgraded fiery
paint is part of a later respray. So while it's not perfect, it
still has that unbeatable clear coat shine every time you take this
convertible out for a cruise - exactly what you want in a
sunshine-friendly drop top. With the black SS stripes painted on,
it makes for a fantastic coordination with the blacked-out grille,
blacked-out tail panel, sporty SS wheels, and power convertible
top. So this one really does know how to command attention. The
form-hugging bumpers have a mirror-like shine, and it matches
nicely with the half chrome covers on the headlights. Plus, the
larger cowl induction hood is the perfect upgrade in
aggression.
With the flip of a switch, the black electric folding roof reveals
a nice black interior - so this drop top has a great overall
appearance with the top up or down. Everyone loves to see bucket
seats and a center console in a muscle machine like this, and it
comes complete with the iconic horseshoe shifter. This convertible
feels nice inside with the carpets, door panels, and dash all
retaining their deep, dark appearance. The driver gets the factory
three-spoke sports steering wheel that gives a commanding view of
everything. This includes the upgraded gauge package with tach.
This is a terrific cruiser with everything from an auxiliary
readout trio to an upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo for the best in
top-down tunes. And since you'll want to cruise as long as possible
with the roof off, the factory air conditioning is blowing nice and
cold.
This is the kind of motor that will make you proud to lift the hood
at car shows. The big block 396 cubic-inch V8 is exceptionally well
presented with its orange block paint, shining valve covers, and
cross-flags air grabber. If you look closer, you can spot useful
upgrades such as, the Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, new plug
wires, and a new electronic ignition. The long tube headers add
even more power as they also contribute to the rumble of the dual
exhaust. The total power package reliably gets to the ground via a
stout GM three-speed automatic transmission. Plus, control stays
well in hand thanks to power steering, power brakes, and raised
letter Cooper Cobra tires at all four corners.
Chevrolet only built 8,950 Chevelle drop tops in 1969, making them
a very rare commodity nearly a half-century later. So to find one
so nicely presented with a growling V8 under the hood is the kind
of treat that doesn't come around very often. Don't miss out, call
today!
