1970 Chevrolet Chevelle

1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Pro Street For Sale

468 Big Block 550 HP TH400 12-Bolt 4.11 Posi Grudge Car 35-Year Ownership

This 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu is a serious big-tire street machine backed by an impressive 35 years of current ownership. Built around a pump-gas 468ci big-block, Freddy Brown-built Turbo 400, 12-bolt rear with 4.11 gears, and a single-stage 175-shot nitrous system, its a well-developed street/strip Chevelle thats been with the same enthusiast for more than three decades.

And to be clear from the start: this is a Malibu, not an SS. What it does offer is the iconic 1970 Chevelle body wrapped around a potent combination thats reported to make approximately 550 horsepower naturally aspirated while remaining completely comfortable running on pump gas.

The 468ci Chevrolet big-block has approximately 5,000 miles on it and features Dart aluminum cylinder heads, a street-oriented solid roller camshaft, high-rise aluminum intake, 780 Holley DP carburetor, MSD ignition, and Blaster 2 coil. Cooling is handled by a large aluminum radiator with an electric fan.

A single-stage nitrous system with a 175-horsepower shot is installed for additional performance when desired.

According to the owner, the combination has run in the 11.50-second range naturally aspirated and into the mid-10-second range with the nitrous. These are owner-reported performance figures rather than independently verified track results.

Backing the big-block is a Freddy Brown-built Turbo 400 automatic transmission that was recently redone. It uses a reverse-pattern manual valve body, Hurst ratchet shifter, trans brake, and an approximately 2,800-3,200-rpm stall converter.

Power is sent to a 12-bolt rear end equipped with a recently installed Eaton Truetrac differential and 4.11 gears.

Despite the serious performance hardware, this has remained a street-driven Chevelle and has never had a roll cage. The owner describes it as a car that can be driven all day, with the big-block happily running on readily available pump gas.

The suspension retains the factory-style four-link arrangement with a Hotchkis rear suspension package and rear coilovers. Massive 315/60R15 Mickey Thompson ET Street rear tires give the Malibu its unmistakable big-tire stance.

The body is described as very straight and retains its original quarter panels and original doors. The front sheet metal, bumpers, and trunk lid, trunk floor and have been replaced years ago.

Another significant update is all-new glass throughout the car, improving both its appearance and usability.

The exterior is finished in satin black with pearl white stripes and topped by a fiberglass cowl hood that leaves little doubt about whats underneath.

Inside, the Chevelle retains much of its traditional Malibu character with red bucket seats, center console, factory-style door panels, and original floorboards. Black carpeting was installed to provide contrast against the red upholstery.

The factory gauges are reported to work, including the speedometer, while a comprehensive collection of AutoMeter gauges monitors the performance drivetrain. Additional instrumentation includes water temperature, oil pressure, transmission temperature, voltage, and nitrous-related monitoring.

A large AutoMeter Sport-Comp tachometer is mounted prominently for easy visibility.

The ignition, electric fuel pump, and radiator fan have dedicated controls, while the car continues to start with the key. An auxiliary starter button is also fitted.

A Kenwood stereo and rear 6x9 speakers provide entertainment when the big-block isnt supplying the soundtrack.

Perhaps one of the strongest parts of this Chevelles story is its 35-year ownership history. Rather than being a recently assembled car passed from owner to owner, it has been developed, maintained, and enjoyed by the same owner for more than three decades.

This Chevelle isnt pretending to be a concours restoration or a factory Super Sport. Its a real Malibu transformed into a potent, long-term-owned street/strip machine, and thats exactly where its appeal lies.

With 35 years of ownership, only approximately 5,000 miles on the 468 big block, a 175- shot nitrous system, built TH400 with trans brake, 12-bolt Eaton Truetrac rear with 4.11 gears, all-new glass, and massive Mickey Thompson rear tires, this is a seriously capable 1970 Chevelle that can still be taken out and enjoyed on the street.
