Vehicle Description
Chevy's second generation Chevelle acts as an attention magnet sure
to draw admirers, but it's the very solid road-readiness of this
1967 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu that really sets it apart from the
crowd. It occupies select company, in that its impressive
originality comes at no cost to functionality - this classic is
ready to hit the asphalt right away.
Still wearing the same Nantucket Blue color it emerged with more
than a half century ago, the appealing, squared off form and
overall clean condition will draw you in right away. It's had the
good fortune to have spent a large part of its lifetime serving
just one family and, from all appearances, it was treated with care
during that time. The paint received a freshening up a while back
and still offers a strong shine with no noticeable dents or dings
to be found. There's a chrome accented Super Sport hood in place
and pretty much everything on board remains in factory
configuration, down to the fresh side mirrors mounted on the doors.
The collection of badging is still sharp and the bumpers in both
front and back are solid and level - they're more than presentable
just as they are. With that signature shade of blue looming over
fresh rubber footing, this is one vibrant, capable-looking
classic.
The vinyl interior also wears its original color and retains an
almost entirely factory configuration while looking fresh. The
bench seats in both front and back are in great shape - ready for
many miles' worth of future outings - and sit over an expanse of
blue carpeting that's in equally strong condition. On both sides,
the door panels are flush and well-fitted - always a welcome sight
since they often seem to be among the first areas to show age and
use. A period correct steering wheel sits on its column, featuring
a functional horn no less, while farther forward the factory gauges
are protected by a very clear lens, are all in good working order
and are surrounded by factory-correct woodgrain accents and
still-fresh chrome trim. An aftermarket AM/FM/cassette stereo, also
functional, is about the only deviation from stock inside the
cabin. The spacious trunk area appears solid as well - with no
fabric lining the floor you can get a good view and see that
everything inside is in good order, with just a bit of easily
remedied surface discoloration from age.
The 327 cubic inch V8 standing by under the hood is arguably
Chevy's most coveted small block powerplant of its era. It sits in
a nicely detailed compartment, outfitted with GM double hump heads
and a 4-barrel carb to maximize its output, while wearing a very
clean Edelbrock chrome air cleaner on top. Everything surrounding
it appears to have been well maintained - there's no grime buildup
anywhere in sight and all hoses and wiring look fresh. The
powerplant sends a nice, rumbling note out of its Flowmaster
mufflers and pairs with a 4-speed automatic 700r4 to afford engine
sparing low revs at highway speeds and is shifting smoothly. Power
steering makes this vintage muscle car easy to drive, while power
brakes that feature discs up front offer fade-resistant stops as it
cruises on a set of 15" Chevrolet wheels that are in great shape
and wear Cooper Cobra Radial G/T tires with plenty of tread
remaining.
