Vehicle Description
This 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu has a terrific vintage style
with just the right amount of speedy upgrades mixed in to make it
extra fun. So you'll love it for everything from the cool
coordinating color combo to the strong small block with
four-on-the-floor.
The factory-correct Artesian Turquoise is a great color for a
premium 1960s machine. And there's added allure here with a nice
gloss and depth from respray later in life. The Malibu had terrific
lines for '66 with a well-creased front end that curved around to
continue down the full length of the car. And the black vinyl roof
draws attention to the pillarless hardtop profile. This coupe is
proudly a premium Malibu, but there's also some Super Sport touches
added into the mix. The sporty hood vent trim and ribbed rockers
are borrowed from the SS line. Plus, we especially like the 18-inch
competition-style American Racing Torq Thrust wheels that enhance
the sporty feeling while still looking quite vintage.
The two-tone turquoise of the interior looks terrific against the
exterior. So we know you'll love rolling down the windows on this
pillarless hardtop to show off the full package. And because people
will be looking inside, there has been a solid investment in the
seats, door panels, carpeting, and other fundamentals to give this
an impressive overall presentation. An interior this nice means
it's easy to share your classic coupe experience with family and
friends. It's even got good features to keep people happy, like an
AM/FM radio and factory air conditioning (it will need servicing to
blow cold again.) Plus, there are plenty of drivers who are happy
to see the lap belt upgrade up front. And this one really was built
for driving. That's why you have the classic Chevy sports steering
wheel, correct-style tach under the dash, and a Hurst floor
shifter.
When you lift the hood, the tidy setup and slick inner fender walls
funnel your attention to the bold orange motor at the middle. The
callouts on this one say 327, because that's where the small block
displacement was up to in '66. But this one is actually a larger
350 cubic in V8. And as you dig deeper, you'll discover more
upgrades like the Holley four-barrel carburetor and ceramic coated
headers. The Muncie M20 four-speed manual transmission gives you
control over the power package. And speaking of control, this has
nice upgrades like a 12-bolt rear end and stronger rear suspension
arms. Add in power steering, power brakes w/front discs, and modern
tires, and you have a classic that's a blast to drive.
This is the extra-sharp icon that's also a great driver. So don't
miss this deal. Call now!
