Collectible Motorcar of Atlanta is proud to present this
beautifully restored 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu, a highly
authentic example finished in classic Ermine White over a black
vinyl interior. Rather than being transformed into a modern
restomod, this Chevelle retains the appearance, character, and
presentation that made Chevrolet's midsize cars so popular during
the muscle-car era.
According to the accompanying documentation, this Chevelle was
built at Chevrolet's Fremont, California assembly plant. The
cowl-tag information identifies it as a 1966 Malibu Custom
two-door, originally finished in Ermine White with a black vinyl
bench-seat interior. That documentation is included with the car
along with restoration photographs, show history, and additional
supporting material.
Under the hood is the car's original 283 cubic-inch Chevrolet V8
paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. The engine
compartment has been restored with a strong emphasis on factory
appearance, including the Chevrolet-orange engine finish, black
factory-style air-cleaner assembly, original-type accessory
arrangement, proper hoses and lines, and a clean white-painted
engine bay. Factory-style air conditioning is also present, making
this Chevelle more comfortable for warm-weather cruising.
The exterior presentation is understated and exceptionally period
correct. Ermine White paint is complemented by polished stainless
trim, bright chrome bumpers, quad headlights, Chevelle grille
badging, Malibu script, and V8 fender emblems. White-painted steel
wheels wear Chevrolet dog-dish hubcaps and redline bias-ply tires,
giving the car the exact stance and appearance expected from a
carefully restored mid-1960s Chevrolet.
Inside, the black interior remains faithful to its original
configuration. A wide black vinyl front bench seat is matched by a
rear bench, black door panels, carpeting, and dashboard. The
original-style steering wheel, column-mounted automatic shifter,
horizontal 120-mph speedometer, analog clock, factory radio, and
original-style climate controls preserve the authentic 1966 driving
experience.
The odometer currently shows 10,767 miles. The trunk is neatly
finished in black carpeting and houses a matching full-size redline
spare with jack hardware. Included documentation contains
restoration photographs, identification-tag information, previous
show photographs, newspaper clippings, and award records.
One of the most significant pieces of this Chevelle's history is
its Antique Automobile Club of America recognition. The grille
proudly displays an AACA National First Prize Senior award badge
from 2008, and accompanying documentation further supports its show
history. That level of recognition speaks to the quality and
authenticity of the restoration.
This 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu is an excellent choice for the
collector who values originality, documentation, and period-correct
presentation. With its original 283 V8, automatic transmission,
factory air conditioning, Ermine White exterior, black bench-seat
interior, redline tires, extensive records, and AACA award history,
it represents a carefully preserved example of one of Chevrolet's
most recognizable midsize classics.
