This 1964 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu convertible underwent a refurbishment in 2020 that involved a repaint and an interior re-trim along with installation of a 350ci V8 crate engine and a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission. The car is finished in red with a white convertible top, and the interior houses bench seats trimmed in red vinyl. The engine is equipped with an Edelbrock carburetor and intake manifold along with Hooker headers. Additional features include a Vintage Air air conditioning system, a RetroSound digital media receiver, and 17″ BG Rod Works wheels along with power steering and power-assisted front disc brakes. This Chevelle Malibu is now offered on dealer consignment in Tucson, Arizona, with a top boot, spare parts, and a clean Montana title.
The car left the factory finished in Silver Blue (912) and was repainted red as part of the aforementioned refurbishment completed in 2020 during previous ownership. It wears a manually operated white convertible soft top along with chrome bumpers, quarter vent windows, and bright trim.
The chrome-finished 17″ BG Rod Works wheels are mounted with Nexen tires. The car is equipped with power steering along with a front and rear coil-spring suspension. Braking is handled by power-assisted front discs and rear drums.
The refurbished cabin houses two rows of bench seating trimmed in red vinyl, which extends to the door panels. A Vintage Air air conditioning system and a RetroSound digital media receiver have been added, and further details include a floor-mounted center console, red lap belts, and Chevrolet-branded floor mats.
Instrumentation consists of a tachometer with a 6k-rpm redline flanked by a 120-mph speedometer and a combination gauge. The five-digit odometer shows 14k miles, approximately 200 of which were added under current ownership. The seller states that true mileage is unknown.
The 350ci V8 crate engine is said to have been sourced from BluePrint Engines of Kearney, Nebraska. It is fitted with an Edelbrock carburetor and intake manifold as well as an HEI ignition system and an aluminum radiator with an electric puller fan.
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission that was installed as part of the build. The dual exhaust system features Hooker four-into-one headers.
