"The '69 Chevelle Malibu, sixty nine dollar less than last year's
sports coupe, was equipped the same way. A 200 horsepower engine.
Powerglide transmission. Head restraints. New advanced design power
disc brakes. Wheel covers and white wall tires. Sixty nine dollars
less than last year and it's more car. Show up at your Chevrolet
dealer's value showdown. One thing's for sure; Chevelle's
competition wouldn't dare." From a 1969 television commercial.
For consignment, a 1969 Chevrolet Malibu Chevelle convertible with
the true mileage unknown partially due to an inoperable odometer.
Here is a spectacular custom car show for the discerning collector.
The paint, interior, engine and undercarriage represent a no
expense spared build that is outstanding in every way.
Exterior
Smoothed side markers, flush door handles, and wheels we'll get to
in a minute are all embellished by the symbiotic relationship of
fantastic Wineberry Metallic paint and stunning ghost flames over
the hood, fenders and doors. This two stage coverage is brighter
and deeper than anything out of the factory in '69 and the 18-inch
Billet Specialties wheels add an astounding level of splendor that
competes for your eyes and attention with their luster and varied
width. The manually operated black canvas top is in near perfect
condition and the polished reveal frames it like a fine work of
art. This is consistent with the metalwork around the car,
including the bumpers, which are all in excellent shape.
Imperfections are few and include a small patched tear in the soft
top, a linear inclusion on the rear fender, a few scratches, a
spider crack, and a touched up chip in the lower front of the
passenger's door.
Interior
If you're not already dialing our number, feast your eyes on this
interior! Saddle vinyl and wine make up the custom designed door
panels with "Malibu Memories" embroidered on each one. Deep grain
saddle vinyl is used on the buckets seats with bands of wine color
smooth strips trailing down in tandem and along with the rear
bench, which also feature cabochon ornamentation, are in immaculate
condition. The perfect palette continues with the Billet
Specialties steering wheel and its saddle rim, leading to a glossy
wine dashboard, saddle dash pad, and clean, white faced AutoMeter
gauges ahead. Saddle covers the center console, of course, which
houses a B&M shifter over the saddle loop carpet is flawless
presentation. But wait, there's more because the trunk is fully
finished with the same materials and color combination, worthy of
being part of the show when the time comes.
Drivetrain
And the show rolls on, thanks to this fully polished and chrome
454ci V8 which our consignor states has LS6 specs and was built by
John Lingenfelter. His name is on the mirror-like valve covers and
its bling city in the bay with wineberry metallic making its way to
the inner fenders and firewall. The engine has aluminum heads and a
four barrel carburetor, backed by a TH400 3-speed ATI Street
transmission with a 10" converter. Power is routed to a 12 bolt
rear axle with consignor stated 3.73 gears and Positraction.
Headers, power brakes and power steering are on board.
Undercarriage
Bring the floor mirrors as the underside is absolutely show quality
with chrome, stainless and spotless glossy surfaces. The Pypes
exhaust system includes an X-pipe and pair of mufflers, all in
polished stainless steel. Power Wilwood disc brakes all around
include six piston calipers in front and suspension consists of
polished coil overs with a 4 link in back.
Drive-Ability
Light this baby up and a thunderous exhaust and engine sound is
emitted for all to hear, and all will hear it. The car runs
straight and true and exhibits obvious power underfoot. We note the
horn, wipers, odometer display, speedometer, right turn signal and
temp gauge are not working but all other functions work as they
should. 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.
Check your bylaws if you live in an HOA; they've never seen
anything this shiny or heard anything this booming. If you don't
live in one, forget what we just said and get ready for incredibly
good times at shows, including those that may require stanchions to
keep people at eye's length. This is a spectacular show car with a
potent powerplant under the hood.
