Vehicle Description
Offered for your consideration is this striking 1972 Chevrolet
Malibu Convertible, a Chevelle Super Sport tribute that perfectly
blends vintage muscle car charm with a host of performance
enhancements and street-ready attitude. Finished in head-turning
Ascot Blue with silver painted Super Sport stripes, this Malibu
makes an immediate statement - even though it wasn't originally
born in this color, the execution is nothing short of show-quality.
The aggressive hood pins, Cragar chrome wheels, and bold stance on
Cooper Cobra Radial GT tires give it the unmistakable presence of a
true American classic.
Beneath the sculpted hood lies a powerful ATX crate 350 cubic inch
V8 engine, delivering a stout 330 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of
torque. This engine build isn't just about numbers - it's a
carefully crafted package of proven components, including a 4-bolt
main block with a one-piece rear main seal, OE reground crankshaft,
OE powder metal rods, and hypereutectic pistons yielding a 9.1:1
compression ratio. The hydraulic flat tappet camshaft is tuned for
both drivability and power, spec'd at 224/234 duration @.050 with
.465"/.488" lift and a 112 LSA. Fueling comes via a Quick Fuel 680
CFM carburetor with vacuum secondaries and an electric choke,
sitting atop an ATK dual plane intake manifold, while headers and a
mechanical fuel pump ensure crisp throttle response and classic
muscle car tone.
Supporting this robust drivetrain is a Turbo 350 automatic
transmission that handles power delivery with ease. The car is
equipped with power steering and power front disc brakes, ensuring
a smooth and confident driving experience. Underneath, a Melling
high-volume oil pump, PowerBond internal balance harmonic balancer,
and a Pioneer external balance flexplate complete the
performance-oriented powertrain assembly.
Inside, this Malibu retains its classic muscle car roots with
factory bucket seats (option code 704 ASI), a center console, and
under-dash Sunpro gauges that provide real-time feedback on oil
pressure, voltage, and coolant temperature. The power convertible
top makes it easy to go from open-air cruising to enclosed comfort
with the push of a button. Every detail, from the chrome accents to
the hood pins, has been carefully selected to reflect the spirit of
the Chevelle SS while still offering the reliability and comfort of
a thoughtfully assembled tribute car.
Rolling on classic S/S Cragar wheels with staggered Cooper Cobra
Radial GT tires (275/60R15 in the rear, 235/60R15 up front), this
Malibu delivers the kind of stance and handling you'd expect from a
car built to both look good and drive even better. Whether you're
taking it to local shows or enjoying weekend drives with the top
down, this 1972 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible is a fantastic example
of how vintage style and modern performance can coexist in
harmony.
This is a great driver that offers classic car enjoyment without
sacrificing reliability or flair. It's an eye-catching, rumbling
tribute to the Super Sport legacy - ready to be enjoyed
immediately.
