This 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu sport coupe is finished in red with black stripes over a black vinyl interior and is powered by a fuel-injected 502ci V8 Ram Jet crate engine linked with a TH400 three-speed automatic transmission and a Currie nine-inch rear axle. Additional features include a black vinyl roof, a cowl-induction hood, Hooker headers, Currie Currectrac rear lower control arms, front and rear sway bars, and staggered-width 15″ aluminum wheels. The car was acquired by the seller as an unfinished project in 2016 out of Tonawanda, New York, and relocated to Washington State. Work completed under current ownership included installation of a Sony head unit connected to Rockford Fosgate speakers as well as a replacement headliner, door panels, and kick panels. This Chevelle is now offered with recent parts invoices, a battery tender, and a Washington State title.
