Like the Tri-Five Chevys that came before it, the Chevelle Malibu
is one of those cars GM aced right out of the gate and continued to
perfect. Eventually, the marque became one of the strongest brands
in automotive history, and at one point, with a full list of body
styles, options, trim grades, color combinations, and engines which
ranged from mild to outrageous, literally embodied the 'custom
built' nature that defines the muscle car era.
For consignment, a 1966 Chevrolet Malibu Chevelle convertible with
a title verified 118,100 actual miles, however these miles are sure
to be higher as the odometer is inoperable. Pampered? How's
this...our consignor states the car has been garage kept for 30
years, has seen no rain in that time, and has never been smoked in
or washed with a hose! Wow, that's some serious care!
Exterior
Two stage Marina Blue covers the rest of the car with the wonderful
60's style of long, lean panels and straight edges. We'll start in
the back this time because it's such a good look, the simple,
straight tail lights along a narrow latch panel, trimmed in silver
over a contouring chrome bumper and twin tailpipes peeking out. Up
front, the fascia dips rearward in the corners, a 1966 field mark,
as dual headlights sternly stare forward outside of a metal grille
under a flat hood with subtle design lines and it's a great,
classic look. 14-inch steel wheels wear the proper covers and the
white walls pick up on the white canvas top in good shape with just
a touch of some typical discoloration and a small tear, and its
plastic window is clean and intact. Imperfections include a spotted
mark, a circle paint blotches, alignment issues with the hood and
trunk, various scratches and inclusions throughout, bubbling down
low, chips, and scuffs on the bumper. Please see the photos.
Interior
Black crowns line up over light blue vinyl door cards with period
classic silver trim and a textured kick panel and both doors
present cleanly. Blue vinyl bucket sets are in very good shape and
the rear bench is also nice with some fading to the upper sections
and seat belts. A black rimmed steering wheel has a few chips and
leads to a simple horizontal speedometer with sweeping needle
flanked by a gas gauge and unused port. A slightly askew AM/FM
radio sits above an added triple gauge pod while a center console
holds a clock and T-shaped shifter with indicator window housed in
textured black plastic. Some patina here and on the white trim
lines of the dashboard. Blue loop carpet covers the floor is
partially protected with black rubber mats while the trunk remains
mostly barren save for a steel spare.
Drivetrain
Under the hood is a clean and uncomplicated 327ci V8 from 1968 with
a Weiand intake manifold and a Holley 4-barrel carburetor, rebuilt
25 years ago It's backed by a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission
that routes power to the 10 bolt rear axle. The car is equipped
with headers and power steering. Our consignor states a new fuel
pump was added in 2025.
Undercarriage
Super clean underneath where satin and flat blacks combine for a
uniform appearance. Dual exhaust runs through black FlowMaster
mufflers before heading to the rear and drum brakes are at all four
corners. Coil springs are at both ends with a 4 link helping out in
back. Our consignor states the frame was removed in 2025 and all
body mounts replaced, seams sealed, and undercoated.
Drive-Ability
The V8 starts right up and emits a fantastic exhaust note, and we
roll this blue Malibu onto the test loop where it performs well
with good power, straight tracking and on point braking. The
speedometer reads high and bounces around a bit and the left turn
signals don't work with the headlights on. Other things of note are
the clock and odometer which are both inoperable. Beyond these
things, all functions work as expected. While Classic Auto Mall
represents that these functions were working at the time of our
test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at
the time of your purchase.
"Summer's here and the time is right, for dancing in the street!"
So why not go topless with this vintage Chevelle that is ready to
rock and roll your summer? Or if you're lucky enough to live in
warmer climes, your year round toy has just arrived! It's a nice
straight example with a basic set up that will make getting from
point A to Point B a fun adventure instead of a commute.
