A classic 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu hardtop with shiny metallic paint, even shinier alloy wheels, and enough enhanced V8 power under the hood to make all that shine a blur... oh yeah, we know you love it, too.This is the kind of muscle car the draws attention and makes others jealous. It starts with professional application of the Emerald Turquoise. This is the factory-correct color for '67, but GM could never offer it with this much luster. When the sunshine hits this coupe, you instantly know there was a serious investment in a modern metallic and a professional hand applying it. Add to that brightwork in all the right places like extra wide bumpers, rocker panels, and the trim that outlines every inch of glass. Everything else is covered in the super slick clearcoat that highlights the quality and straightness of the coupe's body. But there's plenty of brawn behind this beauty. It's instantly apparent in elements like the aggressive stance, custom cowl hood, and those outstanding American Racing 17-inch Torq Thrust wheels.The interior is just as imposing as the exterior. The deep black on the seats, doors panels, carpets, and dash are all products of a good restoration. The split bench has the kind of pattern that reminds you the Malibu was the upscale trim for these intermediates. And a coupe like this had plenty of size to take up to five family and friends with you along for the ride. That's also why there are nice upgrades like the AM/FM stereo. The view from the driver's seat is amazing. You get a three-spoke wood rim sports steering wheel. The speedometer is the vintage cool extra wide unit that is as long as the horizon. But really we know your attention is going to be on the performance upgrades like all those auxiliary gauges, including large tach, and the B&M shifter. These all tell you there's something special under the hood even before you twist the key and hear it growl.The orange block and shiny elements of the V8 look like they are radiating power from the dark engine bay. And the first impression is quite correct considering the 350 cubic-inch small block has been treated to plenty of go-fast goodies. This includes World cast iron heads, Scat H-beam rods, TRW flat top pistons with valve reliefs, Comp Cams camshaft, MSD ignition, Griffin aluminum radiator, Quick Fuel 750 CFM four-barrel carburetor, Holley street dominator intake, and Hedman headers that feed the rumbling dual exhaust. Handling all this power is a professionally rebuilt TH400 three-speed automatic transmission Turbo 400 with B&M Holeshot converter and mild shift kit. This feeds a 12-bolt Positraction rear end running 4.10 gears for power takeoffs. And as you look at the undercarriage photos, you'll also spot great suspension upgrades such as front disc brakes, new bushings, thick sway bars front & rear, and Lakewood boxed lower control arms.This is an intimidating V8 coupe that has the exact right look and sound to back it up. But you're not the only one who's been searching for complete classic American muscle like this, so we know something looking this good won't last long in our showroom. Call today!!!
