For Sale: 1964 Chevrolet Chevelle in Mesa, Arizona

This 1964 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu SS is a true Super Sport, and it really takes that designation to heart. That's why you have upgraded big block power, four-on-the-floor, an upgraded suspension, and a full midnight style.

This is the first year for the Chevelle/Malibu, and while we like to admire how its clean hardtop style defined an era, this one likes to announce that its appeal is more than just its history. It fast-forwards the clock a few years into the muscle car period that gave us details like the cowl hood. And the black paint knows how to upgrade this attitude, too, with an attractive gloss. And everything from the clean look of the big chrome bumpers to the upgraded Boss alloys with the aggressive 18/20-inch front/rear stance show off a boulevard-owning stance. So as you look over the full package, you're going to recognize a coupe where the upgrades are chiefly aimed at being a driver's car.

The interior keeps the darkness and quality feeling going. The fundamentals like carpeting, door panels, and seats have a stock but clean look that comes from later investments. There's plenty of room for family and friends, because after all, an intermediate-sized car in the 1960s still offers enviable room compared to today's "full-size" cars. But you also instantly know this is a driver's car. You get bucket seats up front, a grippy steering wheel for your left hand, and your right one may never want to leave the Hurst shifter.

The clean inner fender walls funnel your attention to the big block at this coupe's heart. The mighty 454 cubic-inch V8 would not be available until the next generation Chevelle, but as you can see, it's found a nice home here in this first-year hardtop. There are nice performance upgrades, including an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, an Edelbrock intake, and long tube headers feeding into the dual exhaust. You will also appreciate worthwhile supporting components like the aluminum radiator, dual electric fans, and an Optima red top battery. The power and rumble of the full package are firmly in your hands thanks to the four-speed manual transmission. This is built to be a driver, and so you have the right features for all-around enjoyment, like the upgraded tubular A-arm front suspension, power steering, power brakes, front discs, and modern sport tires.

This is a true Super Sport that upgrades its power and attitude into the muscle car era. There are some tweaks, tuning, and details that this coupe may need for your ideal custom classic cruiser. But the way we see it, this is also a good way to put your personal touch on quite a mean all-midnight machine. Call today!!!
