This 1964 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu convertible underwent a refurbishment before the car was acquired by the seller on BaT in April 2022. Power is provided by a 5.7-liter LT1 V8 paired with a 4L60 four-speed automatic transmission, and the car was refinished in red and fitted with a replacement tan soft top. The front bucket seats and rear bench were reupholstered in white vinyl. Additional features include front disc brakes, power steering, 17″ American Racing wheels, and lowered suspension in addition to air conditioning and a Custom Autosound stereo. This Chevelle Malibu is now offered with service records and documents as well as a clean California title in the seller’s name.
The car was refinished under prior ownership, reportedly in House of Kolor-sourced Euro Red-Shimrin. The trim was re-chromed, and the tan soft top was replaced. Quad headlights, chrome bumpers and trim, dual side mirrors, and “Malibu SS” badging are equipped. Rust in the trunk was removed in preparation for the sale.
The car rides on lowered suspension, and the seller notes that the front QA1 coilovers were replaced under current ownership. American Racing 17″ wheels are mounted with Road Hugger tires, and the car has power steering, front disc brakes, and Global West control arms.
The front bucket and rear bench seats have been reupholstered in white vinyl and are complemented by matching door panels, red carpets, and a red dashboard. Additional equipment includes a center console, air conditioning, red seat belts for the front occupants, “SS” embroidered floor mats, and a Custom Autosound stereo. The right vent window does not close completely.
The white-rimmed steering wheel is mounted to a tilting column and fronts Dakota Digital instrumentation including a speedometer, tachometer, and a combination gauge with displays for fuel level, coolant temperature, voltage, and oil pressure. The digital odometer reads 4,800 miles, approximately 2k of which have been added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The replacement 5.7-liter LT1 features electronic fuel injection, an aluminum radiator, and a Rock Valley stainless-steel fuel tank. The air conditioning system has reportedly been converted to R134a, and the heater core was replaced under current ownership, according to the seller. A fluid leak and a hole in one of the mufflers are noted.
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a 4L60 four-speed automatic transmission. A Be Cool transmission cooler is installed.
