Vehicle History & Overview:

This Chevelle was factory-built in Baltimore, Maryland, and originally finished in Frost Green (code 59). It underwent a cosmetic and performance-focused refurbishment in the 1980s, including the installation of the 427ci V8 and a repaint in dark green with Yenko-style striping and badging.

Under current ownership since 2014, the car has benefited from thoughtful investment, including the installation of upgraded suspension components to achieve its present stance. The result is a Chevelle that not only drives well but presents extremely well—turning heads wherever it goes.

Though not a factory COPO or Yenko vehicle, this Malibu offers the iconic muscle car look and big-block performance at a far more approachable price point. And unlike an original, this one is built to be driven and enjoyed.

There are minor paint chips and cosmetic blemishes consistent with use, all shown in the detailed photo gallery. Notably, there is a blemish on the passenger-side door stripe, which has not penetrated the paint, but only the stripe material.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What rear gear ratio does it have?
A: The exact gear ratio has not been confirmed, but based on driving characteristics and the Positraction rear end, it’s likely in the 3.31 to 3.73 range – ideal for both street use and spirited driving.

Q: Is the striping correct for a Yenko?
A: The striping follows the general Yenko SC tribute theme, but purists may note it is not a precise replica. This car pays homage to the Yenko style rather than duplicating it exactly.

Q: Why are the blower, wiper motor, and radio inoperative?
A: These systems are not currently wired in, part of the previous owner’s effort to reduce weight and simplify the build for driving performance. The car could be retrofitted with operational components if desired.

Q: Is this car a real Yenko or COPO?
A: No, this is a tribute build using a factory Malibu as its base. It is not a COPO or Yenko VIN.
