Vehicle Description
1967 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu
Like the Tri-Five Chevys that came before it, the Chevelle/Malibu
is one of those cars GM aced right out of the gate and continued to
perfect. Eventually, the marque became one of the strongest brands
in automotive history; and at one point, with a full list of body
styles, options, trim grades, color combinations, and engines which
ranged from mild to outrageous, literally embodied the 'custom
built' nature that defines the muscle car era.
For consignment, purchased new right up the road at Hoover Motors
in scenic Wernersville, Pennsylvania and owned by the purchaser and
his son until 2020, we give you a Chevrolet Malibu from 1967.
Consigner states that this is the original 283ci engine and
Powerglide transmission, along with the original interior other
than the floor mats, mostly original paint, original vinyl top and
52,405 original miles, although the title reads exempt due to age.
All buttoned up in a well preserved light green and fawn package
and ready for you to enjoy.
Exterior
Mostly original Mountain Green paint with only a few minor touch
ups over the years covers all the sheet metal this car was born
with. Nicely preserved chrome and trim very shiny and mirror-like
is noted on the bumpers and all trim is present and accounted for.
The deep B pillars frame the trunk and the rear window which is
clean and rust free. On the rear of this car are corner wrap-around
taillights that have a Mountain Green panel in between them which
floats above the bumper. 4 steel wheels with Chevrolet wheel covers
are on all 4 corners and are wrapped in thin white wall tires.
Interior
A swing of the door and we are met with a gold vinyl door panel
fashioned with a horizontal tuck and roll pattern, a small arm rest
and a chrome window crank and handle. A long gold split bench
glides between the steel doors, in the original cloth and vinyl
which is showing no tears or excessive wear. The rear bench follows
suit in material but does have some soiling on the left side of the
upholstery. An original GM inverted V style dash is up front and
has the speedometer, fuel gauge, and clock inserted in an area with
wood applique' above, and gold metal below. The original AM radio
sits in the middle of the dash above the heater control which leads
back to a restored and detailed heater box. Clean gold carpeting
covers the floors and is protected by non-original rubber floor
mats while a gold headliner hangs tightly above.
Drivetrain
A correct and original 283ci V8 is within a nicely detailed engine
bay. Complete with orange Chevrolet block and heads and topped with
a 2bbl carburetor this mill is looking almost as good as the day it
was built. A recent tune up was done on the engine along with a new
battery, oil change and a HEI ignition installed. On the back is a
correct Powerglide 2-speed automatic transmission and a 10-bolt
rear axle with a CE coded 3.08 positraction unit rounds out the
drivetrain department.
Undercarriage
A solid steel frame gives the backbone to the rust-free floors, all
of which showing with surface rust, undercoating and black paint.
Independent coil springs are on the front and a 4 link with coil
springs round out the suspension. Drum brakes are noted on all 4
corners as is power steering to make driving a breeze. A single
exhaust system with a stock style muffler sends spent fossils to
the rear of the car.
Drive-Ability
This car started quickly and ran nicely. All functions worked well,
and it has great acceleration and handling. The interior had plenty
of room, was definitely comfortable and was a trip back in time
with all the originality.
Well preserved with plenty of care taken throughout the years by a
loving family and now gracing our North Mallway here at the Classic
Auto Mall. From a small town dealership to your garage this car is
definitely worth a look, and a really great year for the iconic
Malibu
