This 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu was previously sold on BaT in October 2022 following work that included the installation of a Roadster Shop SPEC chassis and replacement body panels, along with a 6.2L LS3 V8, a Tremec T56 six-speed manual transmission, and a Ford 9” rear end. The car was repainted metallic green with body-color bumpers, a front lip spoiler, and a cowl-induction hood, while the interior was fitted with seats sourced from a late-model Camaro, a Vintage Air A/C system, a Kenwood touch-screen head unit, electric windows, and Dakota Digital instrumentation. Additional modifications include a custom dual exhaust system, Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes, Rocket Racing wheels, power steering, and shaved door handles and emblems. Since the previous sale on BaT, the interior was re-trimmed in black, polished HRE Performance wheels were installed, and a custom air intake, engine top cover, and coil covers were installed. This modified Chevelle was acquired by the selling dealer in 2026 and is now offered in New York with a Montana title.
The body was repainted in metallic green green during the build completed around 2020, reportedly following the installation of replacement rear quarter panels and doors sourced from a 1969 Chevelle, front fenders sourced from an El Camino, and a cowl-induction hood with pins. Additional equipment includes body-color bumpers, shaved door handles with remote openers, shaved emblems, a front lip spoiler, body-color side mirrors, automatic headlamps with daytime running lights, LED taillights with sequential turn signals, and Fesler flush-mounted glass.
The Roadster Shop SPEC chassis features adjustable coilovers with Hyperco springs at all four corners and is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system as well as power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering.
Polished HRE Performance wheels are mounted with staggered Nitto NT555 tires. Braking is handled by power-assisted Wilwood disc brakes with drilled and slotted rotors.
The cabin houses front bucket seats sourced from a 2017 Camaro, and the interior was re-trimmed in black with piano black trim accents around 2024. The fabricated center console houses a cup holder and buttons for vehicle functions. Electric windows have been added and can also be controlled via a key fob, and additional equipment includes remote locking, a Vintage Air climate-control system, and a Kenwood touch-screen CD stereo wired to a trunk-mounted subwoofer enclosure. A plaque on the center console displays the identification number for the Roadster Shop chassis.
A Grant three-spoke steering wheel frames Dakota Digital instrumentation that includes a 160-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary displays. The digital odometer shows approximately 1,100 miles, though total chassis mileage is unknown.
The 6.2L LS3 V8 was installed in 2020, and work completed since 2022 has included the installation of a custom air intake, an engine top cover, and mesh-accented coil covers as well as an aluminum radiator with dual electric fans.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a Tremec T56 six-speed manual transmission and a Ford 9” rear end with 3.73:1 gearing. Stainless headers feed into a dual exhaust system with an X-pipe and Pypes mufflers.
