Vehicle Description
This 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Restomod has a very cool kind
of dilemma. It has the slick paint and custom style that can win
you awards at the shows. But since it has a fuel-injected LS3
motor, overdrive transmission, and a comfy A/C interior, it might
be hard to get you off the road long enough to show this one
off.
There's less than 800 miles on this full build, and so the details
are fresh. And that kind of quality starts with the paint. The
burgundy has the kind of shine that can grab your attention from
across a show field. And they really took their time to get the
body straight before the first drop of paint went on top. The
result is a coupe that loves to have the sunlight dance across its
curves. The bumpers, badging, and trim all have the classic premium
Malibu look. But this one doesn't get to complexly fly under the
radar. After all, there's an unmissable power bulge on the super
scoop cowl hood. And the American Racing Torq Thrust wheels have a
bright polish to draw extra attention to the wider rear tires and
awesome stance.
The interior focuses on big fresh and inviting, and only hints at
the big power in subtle ways. The door panels, upholstery, dash
pad, headliner, and carpeting all have the feeling of a proper
investment. Bucket seats, a center console, and a factory SS
steering wheel have a true vintage style, but they have a fresh
feel to give you confidence in this driver's environment. The
horseshoe shifter looks all-stock, but keen eyes will notice the
extra gear, and the restored dash now features a stock bezel filled
with new Dakota Digital instruments. You'll love rolling down all
the windows on this pillarless hardtop to hear the sounds of the
motor. And thanks to cold-blowing R134a air conditioning, you can
easily enjoy this even throughout the summer.
Under the hood is a new GM Performance 6.2L LS3 V8. This obviously
wasn't factory-issue, but the way it fits in this professional
upgrade looks like it could have been here from day one. This
fuel-injected powerhouse packs 495 horsepower and 473 lb-ft of
torque right out of the box. The entire setup was professionally
done using all new GM controllers and an American AutoWire harness.
There are the right supporting pieces, like the accessories managed
by a Holley serpentine system, and a large BeCool aluminum radiator
with twin electric fans helps keep the full package running cool. A
GM Performance 4L70E four-speed automatic that was made to handle
big power machines like this, and it connects to a heavy-duty Eaton
Tru-Trac 12-bolt rear end filled with Richmond gears. Hooker
Super-Comp Titanium ceramic-coated long-tube headers feed a custom
2.5-inch H-pipe dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers for an
awesome high octane soundtrack. The undercarriage photos show fresh
suspension components, right down to the bushings. Plus, power
steering, power brakes, front discs, and wide BF Goodrich T/As are
great for all-around good driving.
This is the ideal mix of show and go. So don't miss this very
custom Chevelle Malibu hardtop. Call today!!!
