Vehicle Description
This 1964 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu SS Pro Touring looks terrific
with slick paint, a custom interior, overdrive transmission,
four-wheel disc brakes, awesome suspension, and a true cruiser
style. Plus, at the heart of it all is 500+ horsepower!
The blue paint sets the right tone for this Chevy. It comes close
to the period-correct Marina Blue, but there's a vibrant tone and
metallic element that radiates more than what the factory ever
offered. The restoration of this one was done in 2018, and it has
since been enjoyed responsibly. And that's what you'll likely do,
too, because it's the kind of mindful build that you can hop in on
a whim and drive with pride. This was the first year for the
Chevelle/Malibu, and while they offered a Super Sport version, this
wasn't yet the time for the big muscle car legend. So we think it's
kind of cool that this car shows us what the first year would look
like if it came for the golden era of pure American power. That
means upgrades like hood vents with a big power dome in the middle
and exhaust tips to belt out a serious high-octane tune. And a
mirror-like shine on large 17-inch Foose alloys also takes this
classic into the modern era.
The blue returns inside as an accent color, and now it's joined by
a creamy white. This does a good job of mixing its vintage style
with a modern flair. For example, you still have the classic door
panels, SS-special center console, and a clean dash. But there's
also a full fresh style surrounding it. The front seats are now
Procar buckets with superior bolstering and comfort. It's a
reminder a pro touring car is made to be driven. And there are more
upgrades for added comfort, like an AM/FM stereo with Bluetooth, an
added Sirius satellite radio receiver, and provisions for air
conditioning (it will need servicing to blow cold.) And the full
driver's setup is quite engaging with a custom SS steering wheel, a
tilt column, and Dakota Digital gauges with a large speedo and
tach.
The engine bay has the sharp and clean look of a good investment
with the polished components and overall tidy style giving it a
nice impression. This 400 Dart block was bored .30 over to a 406ci
total. It's enhanced and fortified with Scat forged crank, Scat I
beam rods, Wiseco forged pistons, and Bullet roller cam. Plus, you
have liberty heads, a Holley 850 double pumper four-barrel
carburetor, a ported Holley dominator intake, and Hooker ceramic
coated long tube headers adding to this powerful package. The setup
is also nitrous-ready - but we already have dyno sheets showing an
impressive 517 - 581 horsepower! A well-built package like this is
also stout, and it includes supporting components like the MSD
circle track RPM controller, a CVF serpentine belt kit, and an
aluminum radiator with electric fan. There's even the fuel cell and
battery placed in the trunk for better weight distribution. Power
like this needs the right components to get it to the ground.
That's why it's mated to a 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission
built by Animal Performance to handle up to 1000hp - a $3500
investment alone. It's mated to a Mark Williams 3.5-inch aluminum
driveshaft on its way to the Quick Performance custom 9-inch rear
end. While you're checking out all the hardware on this one, don't
forget about the undercarriage photos. There you'll see more great
upgrades, like tubular A-arms up front, a four-link rear, and
adjustable coilovers. Power steering, grippy performance tires, and
upgraded CPP four-wheel power disc brakes are all part of this
sharp-driving total package.
This is one of their rare custom coupes that gives you style,
comfort, and serious power - all in a package that looks ready to
hit the road on a whim. So if you're looking to join the Power Tour
tomorrow, you need to call today!
