"1968 Chevrolet Malibu Chevelle Convertible
Some Chevelle factoids to whet your appetite. The Chevelle was built in 10 different plants in two countries during its 10 year run. There was a version of the Chevelle only available in Canada that had a slightly different grille and trim. It was called the Beaumont. 1964 was the only year U.S. built Chevelles had the model listed as the first digit in the VIN. No Chevelles originally had a woodgrain console. If you see one with a woodgrain console now, it's likely from a Monte Carlo. The Chevelle is quite the movie star, appearing in over 1,600 shows and movies. It's had starring roles as recently as the Fast & Furious franchise.
For consignment, a 1968 Chevrolet Malibu Chevelle convertible showing 74 miles, but the true miles are unknown. Owned by our consignor since 1986 and restored in 2006, we can't exactly call this car a ""sleeper"" due to its vibrant and muscular exterior and claimed 307ci V8, but let's just say you don't want to be napping at a red light if winning is your goal.
Exterior
The car is finished in two stage Matador Red paint with an accent stripe that transverses the nose, follows the descending line of the fender, then streaks along the rocker panel, terminating at the rear bumper as it wraps around. Smooth panels dominate the body and dual rising swells on the hood lead back to twin cowl vents. 307 is expressed on the fenders. Is that what powers this Chevelle? Read on to find out! Meanwhile, thin horizontal tail lights connect visually via a red trim piece on the latch panel, as straight as the chrome bumper below it, and over big exhaust tips below. 15-inch American Racing Torque Thrust wheels carry staggered width 70 series tires and a slight rake, a little bit leaner and a little bit meaner than your run of the mill Chevelle. Overall the paint, bright work and black canvas top are nice with imperfections noted as bubbling on the hood, rear quarter and door, chips, deplating on the bumper, and orange peel.
Interior
White vinyl on the inside provides a vibrant contrast and the door panels retain the typical 60's use of patterned with linear designs in a monochromatic presentation, a touch of patina on the driver's side. Inside, white vinyl bucket seats that are in good shape and so is the rear bench, each with button ornamentation and some very slight discoloration. Up front, a 3 spoke sport steering wheel on tilt column fronts the simple, standard instrument cluster including a barrel style tachometer while in the center, just the vent panel and levers are present with no radio. The always fun horseshoe shifter is in the center console over black twist carpet in nice condition. The trunk has a vinyl mat over a steel floor with some light surface rust.
Drivetrain
Here's where the rubber meets the road with a 350ci V8 equipped with a Scat 9000 series crank, forged I-beam rods, forged sealed flat top pistons, Comp magnum roller tip rockers and a Comp Cams 290H cam. It's fueled by a Holley 4-barrel over a Weiand intake and is mated to a rebuilt TH350 3-speed automatic transmission sending power to the 12 bolt rear axle with 2.56 gears and Positraction. Headers, power brakes and power steering are on board.
Undercarriage
Some typical patina and surface rust but otherwise a clean and solid underside. The dual exhaust runs through Pypes muffler on their way to a chrome tipped exit. Power brakes include front disc and rear drums and suspension consists of coil spring at both ends with a 4 link in back.
Drive-Ability
The V8 comes to life with an impressive exhaust roar making it immediately evident this is not your grandfather Chevelle! Around the loop we go where the car exhibits good power, straight tracking, and with the top down, unlimited visibility. The hazard lights will not turn off and other items that are not working include the horn, clock, tachometer, and turn signals. All other functions operate as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
Yes, with the top down you can see forever! But that also means people see you, so get ready for some eye contact on the road followed by the inevitable thumbs up. This is a striking classic and who doesn't love a top down muscle car? Put your money down on red; this one's a winner!
