Vehicle Description
This 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu defines what clean and mean is.
This has classic hardtop lines with a very factory sleeper look.
But beneath the sleek matte finish lies a performance-built 540
cubic-inch big block. And the more you dig into the details, the
more you see all the right supporting components that gets the
power to the pavement.
The first impression of this one is all about flying under the
radar. The matte green has a similar tone to the colors that
defined the 1970s. It has the look of a clean slightly up-market
Malibu coupe that didn't come with many options because grandma
never wanted many anyway. And it has the kind of extra-clean body
lines that suggest she only drive it to church and always parked in
the back lot. They even left the 307 callouts on the front fender.
But some of us know a little better, and we can spot the cowl
induction hood and big exhaust tips. They hint at this coupe's true
powerful nature. And while the dog dish hub caps are all about a
budget car, keen eyes also see they're hiding a serious set of
meaty Mickey Thompson tires in the rear.
The black interior upholds the sleeper style with just a
well-presented look on the door panels, headliner, and carpeting.
The two wide rows of bench seating even have the correct premium
trim. The Delco AM/FM radio is even still there for display. But
none of that is what you really first saw when opening the door.
The upgraded sports steering wheel (w/power steering), Innovate
Motorsports air/fuel readout, and TCI ratchet shifter are not the
kind of things you'd find in grandma's car. And when you twist the
key, there's a thunderous growl and the full digital gauges light
up.
Under the hood is a true beast, and it looks just as well done as
the rest of this coupe. It's a monster 540 cubic-inch big block.
And while the displacement is enough for some, it has been enhanced
further with AFR aluminum heads, a Dart intake, and a Holley
four-barrel carburetor. The Hooker long tube headers add even more
power while also contributing to the rumble of the X-pipe dual
exhaust. And as you look closer, you'll see all the right
supporting pieces, like an MSD distributor, steel braided lines, AN
fittings, and a large aluminum radiator with dual electric fans.
The TH400 three-speed automatic transmission is a stout unit built
for big power, and it feeds a 12-bolt 3.73 Positraction rear end
for confident all-around performance. There's new shocks, sway bars
front & rear, strong tubular rear arms, and large front disc
brakes.
You already know how clean and cool this muscle Malibu is. So if
you love being different and powerful, don't let this hardtop slip
away. Call today!!!
