This 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Sport Coupe is finished in blue with metallic black stripes over a black interior and is powered by a 496ci stroker V8 paired with a three-speed Turbo 400 automatic transmission and a 3.70:1 Positraction differential. Features include a Hotchkis Performance suspension, CPP power steering, an tilt Ididit steering column, air conditioning, power Wilwood disc brakes, TMI bucket seats, Rocket alloy wheels, Bilstein shock absorbers, MSD electronic ignition, a Holley 850 carburetor, electric exhaust cutouts, and a retro-style Bluetooth stereo. The car was acquired by the seller in 2008 and was subsequently modified with work that consisted of replacing the engine, transmission, interior, suspension, and rear axle as well as refinishing the body. This Chevelle Malibu is offered with a New Jersey title in the seller’s name.
The car is said to have been refinished in Laguna Blue with metallic black stripes during current ownership. Features include a cowl hood, SS 427 badges, bright metal rocker trim, chrome bumpers, quad headlamps, dual mirrors, and a dual-outlet exhaust that exits below the rear bumper.
The staggered Rocket alloy wheels are mounted with BFGoodrich g-Force Sport Comp-2 tires measuring 225/45/17 up front and 245/45/18 out back. The car is equipped with CPP power steering, a Hotchkis Performance suspension, and Bilstein shock absorbers. Stopping power is provided by Wilwood drilled and slotted disc brakes. A vacuum pump is installed and supplies power-assisted braking.
The cabin features TMI front buckets and a rear bench seat upholstered in black vinyl with faux-suede inserts. Features include a full-length center console, air conditioning, a body-colored fire extinguisher, Chevrolet-branded floormats, a custom audio system with a Kicker subwoofer and speakers, and a retro-style Bluetooth stereo.
The microfiber three-spoke steering wheel is mounted to a tilt Ididit column and frames a 120-mph speedometer and a multifunction gauge with a tachometer and fuel level, coolant temperature, battery voltage, and oil pressure readouts. A trio of gauges is mounted below the center of the dashboard. The five-digit odometer indicates 7k miles, approximately 5k of which were added by the seller. Total mileage is unknown.
The 496ci stroker V8 is said to be sourced from Blueprint Engines and features a Holley 850 carburetor, an Edelbrock intake manifold, MSD electronic ignition, polished pulleys, Hedman long tube headers, and a black-coated air intake lid and Chevrolet script valve covers. Electric exhaust cutouts have been installed, and an oil change was performed in 2021.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a three-speed Turbo 400 automatic transmission and a 3.70:1 Positraction differential. The transmission is said to have been refurbished and upgraded with a high stall converter and shift kit.
The New Jersey title is a “Duplicate”.
