The suspension has been rebuilt with tubular control arms, new shocks, new springs, big-block rear springs, and fresh suspension bushings. Updated steering components and new front sway-bar end links further improve the driving experience. Braking is handled by front disc brakes and completely rebuilt rear drums, backed by a new brake master cylinder. The 17-inch American Racing Torque Thrust II wheels are wrapped in Nitto radial tires, giving the Chevelle a muscular stance while providing a modern touch to its classic appearance.Inside and out, this Malibu has been assembled with the character of a period-correct muscle car while incorporating thoughtful upgrades throughout.
