1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu For SaleThis 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle
Malibu has been built as an SS tribute, finished in red with black
stripes over a solid body that retains its original panels. Rather
than chasing a concours-style clone, the build pairs the look of
the most celebrated Chevelle year with the kind of drivability the
factory cars never offered: fuel injection, an overdrive
transmission, a fully redone suspension, and Vintage Air
conditioning. The odometer shows 7,847 miles.Power comes from a 383
stroker small-block with aluminum cylinder heads, an Edelbrock
intake manifold, Edelbrock Pro-Flo fuel injection, and MSD
ignition, said to produce 475 horsepower. Coated long-tube headers
feed a 3-inch exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers. Behind the engine
is a freshened 700R4 four-speed automatic, with power going to a
fresh 12-bolt Posi rear end on 3.73 gears. It's a practical
combination for a car meant to be driven. The 3.73 ratio gives the
stroker strong response off the line, while the 700R4's overdrive
brings cruising RPM down on the highway, and the owner notes the
fuel injection helps the car return respectable mileage for what it
is. The car was most recently serviced at 7,537 miles with a grease
job and an oil and filter change.The chassis has been gone through
just as thoroughly. The suspension was rebuilt with new springs,
shocks, and bushings, along with Hotchkis heavy-duty trailing arms,
tubular control arms, and Hotchkis heavy-duty sway bars front and
rear. Steering is power assisted, and braking is handled by power
front discs with drilled and slotted rotors and rear drums. Inside,
Vintage Air A/C keeps the cabin comfortable, an Auto Meter gauge
cluster keeps tabs on the engine, and an aftermarket Bluetooth
radio handles audio. The owner reports that all gauges, lights, and
wipers are working.The smaller details have been kept up as well.
Over the summer of 2026, the exterior received new tail lamp
lenses, quarter window seals, and a new cowl leaf screen. Inside,
the car got a leather-wrapped steering wheel, new side dash air
vents, a new brake pedal pad and park brake handle, a chrome rear
armrest ash tray, and replacement knobs for the wiper switch and
seat track. A new brake light switch was also installed. Receipts
for this recent work are on file.The 1970 model year is the one
most enthusiasts point to as the high point of the Chevelle, the
year the SS 454 package offered the LS6 big-block. This Malibu
captures that look while being set up for regular use, making it a
good fit for someone who wants a 1970 Chevelle they can drive and
enjoy rather than one they have to work around.NFI Empire
