This 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Restomod is a freshly completed
build with only 1,500 miles on the odometer. Finished in classic
Blue, it retains its original factory styling on the outside while
featuring a completely modernized drivetrain, suspension, and
braking system underneath.Power comes from a GM 396ci Big Block V8
that has been bored .060' over and fitted with a stroker crank,
bringing total displacement to over 427 cubic inches. The engine
features a Lunati camshaft with mechanical solid lifters and is
upgraded with an Edelbrock Pro-Flo multi-port electronic fuel
injection (EFI) system and a high-flow K&N air filter. Power is
sent through a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission, giving you a
functional overdrive gear for highway cruising. The rear axle is a
built GM 10-bolt housing equipped with Yukon Gear & Axle 3.73:1
ratio ring and pinion gears, all protected by a Summit Racing cast
aluminum girdled differential cover.The chassis and footprint have
been heavily upgraded for modern handling and stopping capability.
It features a full Hotchkis performance suspension system front and
rear-complete with upgraded upper and lower control arms, springs,
shocks, and a heavy-duty front sway bar. Stopping power is provided
by a manual 4-wheel Wilwood disc brake conversion, which ensures
consistent pedal feel regardless of engine vacuum. The car sits on
a set of chrome Cragar SS wheels to complete the vintage look.The
interior is finished in period-correct Black vinyl with front
bucket seats and a rear bench. Upgrades include an IDIDIT tilt
steering column and a clean Dakota Digital dash cluster that
integrates with the fuel injection system to monitor real-time
engine vitals. A factory-style AM/FM radio remains in the dash to
preserve the classic layout. This Chevelle is thoroughly sorted,
broken in, and ready to drive.Mileage: Freshly completed build with
