The 1966 Chevelle marked a major redesign for the Chevelle line.
The '66 model was a stunning upgrade to the first generation
Chevelle providing a much longer, leaner appearance. The Malibu
featured a more sculpted body with a wider
stance than earlier versions and the aggressive look that stood out
during the muscle car era.
Current Owner over 30 Years-
The current owner has been the caretaker of this handsome Chevelle
for over 30 years. He states that the mileage shown (31k) is
actual. This Malibu has been the recipient of a full restoration
(2005) and an abundance of loving care over the years. A beautiful
2-stage finish of Torch Red was applied and is in outstanding
condition. All chrome and stainless is also excellent and Billet
polished aluminum wheels mount stout 17" Kumho performance radials.
The black vinyl interior was completely restored. New black vinyl
upholstery was fitted to sport bucket seats and a center console
was installed along with new carpeting . Features include Vintage
Air, tinted windows, cruise control, custom leather tilt-wheel and
a full complement of AutoMeter analog gauges.
LS1 Horsepower / Tremec 5-Speed-
This 1966 Chevelle Malibu was a small-block V8 ('135' code) from
the factory,but horsepower is now furnished by a 5.7L GM LS1 motor
that was donated by a 2002 Camaro 35th Anniversary SS/SLP (21k
miles). These high performance Camaro engines were rated at 345bhp.
It is fitted with a serpentine belt system and cooling is managed
by an aluminum radiator with dual electric fans. The LS1 sounds
amazing through stainless tube headers and a custom exhaust system
with electric cut-outs. It is backed by a Tremec T-56 5-speed
manual transmission with Hurst Comp+ shifter and 12-bolt
posi-traction differential with 3.73:1 gearing. The spotless
chassis is fitted with power steering, power assisted disc/drum
brakes, HD front /rear sway bars and stainless fuel tank. The
battery was also relocated to the trunk.
This refined Bow-Tie Chevelle is going to look magnificent in
someone's garage - be that yours?
