First-year Chevelle enthusiasm meets smart, sympathetic restoration
in this 1964 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu SS. There is something about
a car from a model's inaugural year that captures attention and
imagination. Whether you remember cruising in one back in the day
or want a head-turning classic with honest patina and recent
mechanical work, this Malibu offers presence and purpose. It
presents nicely in the driveway and is ready to be enjoyed on
weekend drives or at shows. If you want a first-year Chevelle that
looks the part and drives well, this one is worth a closer
look.
Inside, the cabin received a full color refresh and presents very
well. The interior was reworked from the original Medium Metallic
Blue to a new scheme that looks fresh and cohesive. Seats, door
panels, and trim show careful attention and fit the car's overall
appearance. A period radio and owner documentation including a
service manual are shown in the photos.
Under the hood is a Summit Racing 350 small block reported to have
fewer than 1,000 miles since its build and fitted with an Edelbrock
intake for improved breathing. A two-speed Powerglide automatic was
refreshed in December 2024, reportedly serviced for smooth
operation. The car rides on stock A-arm front and trailing arm rear
suspension with coil springs and added air shocks. Braking is
original style with drum brakes front and rear and a 10-bolt rear
axle.
