1966 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Convertible — Silver Blue, 350 V8, Restored 2019Why This Car Is SpecialThe 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu is widely considered the high point of the first-generation Chevelle design. Chevrolet introduced the Chevelle for 1964 as a mid-size answer to the wildly popular Ford Fairlane, and by 1966 the formula had been refined into one of the most balanced cars the division ever built. The body received a full redesign that year, moving away from the boxy 1964-65 look and adopting a longer, lower, more sculpted profile with a wider stance and a more aggressive front end featuring quad headlamps flanking a horizontal bar grille. It was a cleaner, more confident design, and collectors have recognized it as such for decades.The Malibu was the premium trim level of the Chevelle line in 1966, sitting above the base 300 series and below the performance-focused SS 396. It offered a meaningful list of creature comforts and styling upgrades while remaining accessible enough to sell in large numbers. Convertibles, however, were a different story. Open-top Chevelles were built in far lower volumes than their hardtop and coupe counterparts, making them the more desirable body style by a wide margin today.What you have here is a 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu convertible finished in Silver Blue over a black vinyl interior — a color combination that photographs well and holds up even better in person. The VIN decodes this car as a Malibu-series convertible built at the Kansas City assembly plant in 1966, which is consistent with everything presented. The car was restored in 2019 and presents well throughout, with a focused set of upgrades that improve drivability without stripping away the character of the original car.Features List- 350 V8 engine- Edelbrock intake manifold- 4-barrel carburetor- Cold air intake upgrade- Polished aluminum valve covers- Dual exhaust with chrome tips- 3-speed automatic transmission- Power steering- Power disc brakes with brake booster- Black convertible top- Black vinyl bench seat interior- Wood-grain steering wheel- Instrument clock- Aftermarket stereo- Door speakers- Chrome Boyd Coddington wheels with BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires- Chrome rocker molding- Chrome bumpers front and rear- Dual side mirrors- Chevy Bowtie floor mats- Correct jack and spare tire- Clean undercarriage- Restored 2019MechanicalThe 350 cubic inch small-block V8 under the hood is a proven, well-supported engine that has powered millions of GM vehicles across several decades. It is paired here with an Edelbrock intake manifold, a 4-barrel carburetor, polished aluminum valve covers, and a cold air intake upgrade. The Edelbrock manifold is a particularly smart addition — their single-plane and dual-plane aluminum intakes have been a go-to performance upgrade for small-block Chevys since the 1970s, improving throttle response and airflow over the factory cast-iron piece. The engine bay is clean and well-organized, with the bright red block and polished valve covers giving the compartment a sharp, finished look without being overdone.The transmission is a 3-speed automatic, which makes this car straightforward to drive in any setting — a cruise, a car show, or just daily use on weekends. Power steering and power disc brakes have been fitted, two upgrades that matter significantly on a car of this weight and vintage. Disc brakes in particular bring the stopping capability of this 1966 Chevelle Malibu convertible in line with modern driving expectations, which is a real-world improvement over the four-wheel drum setup that most of these cars left the factory with. The dual exhaust exits cleanly through chrome tips visible below the rear chrome bumper. The undercarriage photos show a solid, black-coated floor pan with no visible rust or damage — an important detail on any 59-year-old convertible, where water intrusion over the decades can compromise structure in ways t
