1967 Chevrolet Malibu

1967 Chevrolet Malibu Chevelle SS396 Hardtop For consignment, a 1967 Chevrolet Malibu Chevelle SS 396 hardtop showing 95,925 miles, but the true miles are unknown. The recipient of a frame off restoration five years ago, every bit of this car was restored or refreshed including the undercarriage and engine bay. A true 138 code car, no expense was spared in making this one a stunner and a runner! Exterior Two stage Bolero Red paint now covers the long panels of this A-body, the fascia of which seems to lunge forward in anticipation as the black paneled back stands poised, ready to hit the afterburners. It takes on a sport persona with the hood bulges and simulated vents, and its redline tires turn a pedestrian commuter car into a red light warrior. Those 15-inch wheels carry the proper hubcaps, framed by black steel and visually connected with the ribbed rocker panel that touches the arch trim. The pointed tail lights are mirrored by the buttresses that hug the rear window and the chrome bumper picks up on the polished window trim, all in a spectacular, clean design enhanced by near perfect red paint. The only imperfection we find in fact, is a door edge chip. Interior If you were expecting black, the white interior will hit like a sudden snow squall, then have you asking for more! It starts with smartly appointed door panels in stitch patterned vinyl complete with rectangular metal cabochons and like a missing tile on the ceiling, we note one piece missing on the passenger side as both doors otherwise present cleanly. Its on to the seats that show no wear or compression, buckets in front and a bench in back, cabochons intact. A black steering wheel fronts the horizontal displays of the dash, clean lines and clean condition with polished metals backing the AM/FM radio over a triple gauge pod added below. Let your eyes drop a few inches to find the chrome ringed clock in the center console, then the chrome knobbed shifter in stunning black base, all over loop carpet and Chevelle carpeted mats. The white headliner and visors above are consistent with the condition of the car and the trunk also presents are showroom fresh. Drivetrain The attention to detail continues in the bay where a spotless 454ci V8 resides with a Holley 4-barrel carburetor over an Edelbrock intake delivering fuel to the monster engine, backed here by a Muncie M20 4-speed manual transmission. The ponies are then delivered to the 12 bolt in back with 3.31 gears and Positraction in a 1968 axle assembly. Yes, you could eat off of this engine! Undercarriage They told us it was clean under here and they werent kidding and the attention continues to the undercarriage is obvious. As far as componentry, we have power disc brakes in front and drums in the back, coil springs front and rear with a 4 link in the back, and dual exhaust that runs through Thrush mufflers before dumping through clean steel pipes in back. If you ate off the engine, you can dessert down here! Drive-Ability Like the rubber tree ant, we have high hopes for this one and the pleasing exhaust note leads us to the test loop where the car delivers on all fronts. Fantastic power, straight tracking, tight steering, and a pleasant cabin from which to pilot it all. And the cherry on top of this red flyer is the fact that all functions operate just as they should, and we circle back to the mall to find a nice spotlight to park this car under. 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. If this car wasnt such a pleasure to drive, wed think about trailering it to the local car show just to keep it clean! Yeah, its one of those! This is a stunning restoration and we already envy the new owner, and s/he hasnt even stepped up yet. Well have the red carpet ready for you, all you have to do is make the call. 138177A136582 1-Chevrolet 38-Chevelle SS396 17-2 Door Hardtop 7-1967 A-Atlanta, GA Assy Plant 136582-Sequential Unit Number TRIM TAG ST 67 13817-1967 Chevelle SS396 2 Door Hardtop BODY ATL8084-Atlanta Body # TR 763B-Black Imitation Leather Buckets PAINT GG-Granada Gold W-Tinted Windshield 2L-4 Speed Manual G-Console Classic Auto Mall is home to more than 1,000 classic and collectible vehicles for sale via consignment in a climate controlled 336,000-square foot showroom (thats more than 8 acres!).
