This 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle is a Malibu Sport Coupe which was reportedly acquired by the husband of its current owner in the late 1970s and is said to have been garaged and driven sparingly since 1993. Power comes from a numbers-matching 396ci V8 paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, and the car wears older gold paint over a green vinyl interior. Equipment includes a black vinyl top, Keystone wheels, a Hurst shifter, a period aftermarket 8-track player, a Holley carburetor, and more. This Chevelle is offered at no reserve by the seller on behalf of its late owner’s widow with handwritten records dating from 1979, a collection of spares and new old-stock parts, and a Pennsylvania title.
The body wears faded Olympic Gold paint and features a black vinyl roof and SS trim. Sheet metal damage can be seen on the right front fender and quarter panel, and the seller notes corrosion in these areas as well as in the lower left fender and quarter panel. Replacement body panels and trim are included in the sale.
Period Keystone wheels are mounted with older tires which are in need of replacement. The car is equipped with power-assisted steering and brakes, and the rear brake shoes are said to have been replaced in 2018. The seller notes excessive camber in the front wheels, reportedly due to missing alignment shims.
The Midnight Green vinyl-trimmed interior features bench seats front and rear, an aftermarket steering wheel, and a Hurst shifter. Tears are shown in the seat upholstery, the driver’s armrest is damaged, the dash pad is cracked, and the seller states that the driver-side window requires manual assistance to operate.
Additional interior features include a period Craig AM/FM radio with an 8-track player, auxiliary gauges under the dash, and an aftermarket tachometer on the steering column. The 5-digit odometer shows approximately 17k miles and is believed by the seller to have rolled over.
The numbers-matching 396ci V8 is equipped with a Holley carburetor atop an aftermarket intake manifold, finned Edelbrock rocker covers, and exhaust headers. The seller states that the battery has been replaced. A hesitation is noted during acceleration.
The engine wears block stamps denoting it as a 325-horsepower 396 and matching the last eight digits of the chassis identification number, which is shown in the gallery.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 4-speed manual transmission. Additional underbody photos showing the condition of the floor pans, exhaust system, and suspension components can be seen below.
Spare parts include bumpers, NOS body panels and trim, stock Rallye wheels, interior components, and more. Handwritten records from 1979 to 2010 are also included in the sale.
