This 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu hardtop coupe was acquired by the seller in 2021 following a reported two-year refurbishment that was completed by 2020. Work is said to have included refinishing the car in blue, refreshing the black interior, installing a 454ci V8 with a Holley Sniper fuel-injection system, rebuilding the four-speed manual transmission, replacing the clutch assembly and wiring harness, and overhauling the suspension. Other features include 17″ US Mags wheels, Wilwood front disc brakes, a retro-style stereo, kick-panel speakers, a digital auxiliary gauge pod, and SS badging. The seller has added 1k miles, and the oil was changed in August 2021. This modified Chevelle is now offered with a clean California title in the seller’s name.
Delivered new in Marina Blue (F), the car was refinished and the brightwork was refreshed under previous ownership. Work was completed by 2020, and features include chrome-finished bumpers, lower body trim, and added SS and 396 badging.
Gray 17″ US Mags wheels are mounted with 235/45 front and 255/45 rear Toyo Extensa HP II tires. The seller states that Wilwood front disc brakes have been added along with Bilstein shocks, Eibach springs, Hotchkis sway bars, and a Borgeson steering box with a 12.7:1 ratio.
The interior was redone under previous ownership and features black seat covers complemented by matching door panels, carpeting, and trim. The shifter, pedals, and wiring harness are said to have been replaced, and features include a perforated headliner, a retro-style stereo with an auxiliary input, and kick-panel speakers.
An aftermarket steering wheel sits ahead of instrumentation that includes a horizontal 120-mph speedometer, a fuel-level gauge, and a clock. Three digital gauges have been added under the dashboard along with a digital tachometer ahead of the shifter. The five-digit odometer shows 4k miles, just under 1k of which have been added by the seller. True mileage is unknown.
The non-original 454ci V8 reportedly was rebuilt under previous ownership and is topped with a Holley Sniper fuel-injection unit and an Edelbrock air cleaner. A fuel tank with an internal pump has been installed, and the fuel lines have been replaced. Other features include a Holley ignition system, finned Edelbrock valve covers, tubular exhaust headers, a one-wire alternator, and an aluminum radiator with dual electric fans. The oil was changed in August 2021.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a Muncie four-speed manual transmission, which was rebuilt and received a replacement clutch assembly under previous ownership according to the seller. Additional photos of the underside are presented in the gallery below, and corrosion is noted on some underbody components.
