Vehicle Description
This 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu is a fun hardtop. It keeps the
upper-class Malibu image while also delivering a big power and
rumble. There are even nice cruising features like an overdrive
transmission and cold-blowing A/C. So it makes for the kind of
classic coupe that loves to be driven and get noticed
everywhere.
We like a car of this caliber. It has upgraded power, and so it
makes sure we can all see that in its style. But it doesn't get too
brazen about it. So rather than go the route of a Super Sport
tribute, this one revels in the image of a premium Malibu. So
there's a smooth hood with crisp lines rather than a big cowl, and
it uses more chrome rather than blackout intimidation. This is not
trying to go incognito, but the power car upgrades seem to be more
purposeful. For example, it has nice upgrades like the American
Racing Torq Thrust D wheels so that you can fit proper tires to
handle the extra power. This harmony of speed and sophistication
comes together nicely on the paint. After all, red is a sporty
color, but this later update also has a nice shine to show off
details like the flying buttress C-pillars. You'd likely give the
hood paint a little love if you're looking to have a show car, but
this one already impresses in the way it delivers a powerful
hardtop style while still being sleek and sophisticated.
The white interior is another noticeable touch that gives this car
distinction. The seats, door panels, and headliner look bright, but
nothing ever takes away from the overall feeling of a car focused
on being a fun driver. In fact, you have nice extras like
cold-blowing air conditioning and an AM/FM/CD stereo with USB
input. So it makes for the kind of classic coupe where you can pile
in plenty of family and friends across the wide bench seats, and
they'll feel comfortable on an ice cream run. And this Malibu is
also fun for driving solo. The upgraded sports steering wheel,
large AutoMeter auxiliary readouts, and B&M ratchet shifter are
there to make you the priority in this coupe.
Under the hood is a stout-looking small block. The cast valve
covers, steel braided lines, hi-temp plug wires, and aluminum
radiator with twin electric fans is all part of a solid driver's
package. At its heart is a 350 cubic-inch V8. We're even told this
is a 383ci engine, and while that's unverified, it certainly has
the powerful feel of a stroker motor. Plus, there are plenty of the
right power upgrades like an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, a
polished aluminum intake, and long tube headers. The dual exhaust
has a nice rumble, and there are even cutouts any time you really
want to bring the thunder. This is a powerful package, but it also
likes being a good all-around driver. So you have an upgraded 700R4
four-speed automatic transmission that is known for both its strong
construction and overdrive comfort. And power steering, power
brakes, front discs, and wide BF Goodrich T/As come together for a
better cruiser.
This is the powerful Chevelle that also likes to keep a touch of
Malibu premium. It makes for a terrific hardtop you need to get in
your garage. Call today!!!
