Few names from the Golden Age of muscle cars inspire more
intimidation and respect than the Chevelle. In fact, the only way
to make one of GM's baddest cars even meaner is to use modern
technology to improve its performance. That thinking is why this
1972 Chevrolet Malibu Chevelle 454 Restomod is the perfect choice
for anyone looking for a powerful old-school-meets-new-school
vehicle that turns heads everywhere it goes. Fully repainted in
this unique deep green, this car also sports an SS-style cowl hood
and big American Racing Torq Thrust II polished wheels to give it
an even more imposing presence.
Inside, we find a well-appointed, correct-looking interior that has
been subtly upgraded. A three-spoke power-assisted steering wheel
sits before a three-pod digital/analog hybrid gauge cluster
featuring a horizontal 120 mph speedometer and dual digital
readouts. A modern Boss touchscreen handles all things
infotainment, including Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, satellite
radio, and Bluetooth connectivity, while air conditioning makes
this car easy to drive even during the hottest months.
Under the cowl hood of this Chevelle sits a naturally aspirated 454
cubic-inch V8 engine. Using a Sniper 2 electronic fuel injection
setup feeding into an Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold, long-tube
headers, and a dual exhaust capped off with a set of sweet-sounding
FlowMaster mufflers, this Malibu has plenty of bark to back up its
wicked bite. That power gets routed through a 700R4 four-speed
automatic transmission before being sent out to a ten-bolt
rear.
