For Sale: 1968 Chevrolet Malibu in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

1968 Chevrolet Malibu Chevelle Convertible

"Many little niceties that Chevrolet traditionally comes up with every year are also included with Malibu. New ones for '68 include crank operated ventipanes, side marker lights and an ignition alarm system. Malibus are very big on basics, too. Wide stance roadability, of course. A colorful selection of 15 contemporary Magic Mirror finishes to enhance Chevelle's exciting new looks." From the 1968 sales brochure.

For consignment, a 1968 Chevrolet Malibu Chevelle convertible with a title verified 129,868 actual miles. This garage kept gleaming red on white car is clean and straight and ready for some good clean fun in the sun!

Exterior
They say shoes make the man and indeed, the 15-inch Cragar SS wheels here with staggered size tires and letters out change the profile of the car from the somewhat pedestrian commuter car in the sales catalog to something a bit more muscular and flashy. It doesn't hurt either that the Matador Red paint now presents in two stage goodness, enhanced by a white pinstripe that picks up on the white canvas soft top. Latch panel trim includes a black band that falls in line with the narrow tail lights, all underscored by a contouring chrome bumper. Up front, a bright package includes the headlight bezels and grated grille along with another mirror-like bumper. In general, the paint and trim are excellent. Imperfections include some chips, paint inclusions, cracking at the decklid filler panel, a few scratches, paint runs, surface rust in lieu of paint on the sill, and a single bubble on the front fender.

Interior
White vinyl door panels are matched in condition by the front bucket seats and the rear bench and by that we mean very nice! A three spoke steering wheel shares the column with a tachometer and fronts the two square gauges framed in textured black plastic and painted silver trim in good condition. The center stack includes the A/C lever panel, an AM/FM/Cassette radio, and an added triple gauge pack for the essential information. In the center console, you'll find a horseshoe shifter and green tinged indicator panel over black carpet and embroidered mats. The trunk's vinyl plaid mat shows some use and covers the clean stamped steel floor.

Drivetrain
We have some bling under the hood where polished valve cover with red highlights flank a polished Edelbrock intake manifold. The 350ci V8 also has an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor, headers, and is bolted to a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission routing power to the 12 bolt rear with 2.73 gears. Power steering, power brakes, and A/C are also onboard.

Undercarriage
The underside is clean and structurally sound and features dual exhaust into FlowMaster mufflers and coil springs at both ends with a 4 link in back. Brakes are split between power disc up front and power drum in back.

Drive-Ability
This well sorted car does everything well and sounds great doing it. Onlookers confirm; it looks good on the test loop too! We have no complaints here as all functions work as they should and we can't wait to hand over the keys to the next custodian! 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.

Like we said, good, clean fun! Plus functionality. All wrapped up in a classic Chevelle that will never stop being cool looking. This is a very nice example that checks all the boxes for a great acquisition.
