1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Sport Coupe 4-Speed

This 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu sport coupe was modified and refurbished following the seller’s acquisition in 2023, when the body was removed from the frame and refinished in black with matching bumpers and trim. The frame and various suspension components were powder-coated, and an underbody coating was applied. The car is powered by a 350ci LT1 V8 linked to a four-speed manual transmission, and the car rides on Bilstein shocks and American Racing rally-style wheels. Further details include a custom exhaust system, Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes, power steering, aftermarket headlights, Procar front bucket seats, a Hurst shifter, a retro-look stereo, and AutoMeter instrumentation. This Chevelle sport coupe is now offered with a clean California title in the seller’s name.

The black bodywork is complemented by a color-matching grille, headlight surrounds, and bumpers. The body was removed from the frame, sheetmetal repairs were completed, and photos taken during various phases of the process are provided in the gallery. Further details include LED headlights, tinted windows, and aftermarket exhaust finishers.

American Racing rally-style wheels wear faux three-eared spinners and are mounted with Michelin Pilot Sport tires. The four-wheel disc brake setup uses a Wilwood master cylinder and red calipers. The suspension has been modified with Bilstein shocks, performance springs, and polyurethane bushings, and various components have been powder-coated in red and gray.

The Procar front bucket seats and contoured rear bench are trimmed in black upholstery with red piping, and red seatbelts and black carpets are also noted. Appointments include a Hurst shifter, a retro-look radio, and aftermarket rear deck speakers.

The aftermarket steering wheel fronts an AutoMeter 160-mph speedometer, tachometer, and readouts for fuel level, voltage, coolant temperature, and oil pressure. The odometer shows 577 miles, which represents the distance traveled since the engine installation. Total mileage is unknown.

The small-block V8 is a 1993 Chevrolet-specification 350ci LT1 crate engine, per the seller, who notes that it has aluminum cylinder heads and ceramic-coated headers. Cooling is handled by an aluminum radiator with twin electric fans.

Power is routed to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission, and the seller states that the rear axle has a PosiTraction differential. A protective coating has been applied to the underbody. An X-pipe exhaust system has been installed.
