This 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu sport coupe was purchased by the seller in 1998 and later modified during a build completed in 2010. The body was repainted in metallic copper with black stripes, and a black cloth roof cover was installed along with a cowl hood and SS badging. Power is provided by a 396ci V8 linked to a T56 six-speed manual transmission and a 12-bolt rear end with a 4.10:1 limited-slip differential, and an Edelbrock intake manifold and carburetor are installed along with a diamond-plate firewall cover and a dual exhaust system with headers and Flowmaster mufflers. Inside, the Buick-sourced front bench seat has a folding arm rest and is trimmed in gray and silver vinyl accompanied by a custom floor console, a Sony CD stereo, and TPI-Tech gauges. This modified Chevelle is now offered with a Pennsylvania title in the seller’s name.
The body was repainted in metallic copper in 2010, according to the seller, and a black cloth roof cover was installed in place of the factory vinyl top. Details include black stripes, SS badges, a cowl hood with pins, dual side mirrors, and chrome bumpers. The seller notes paint chips and other imperfections.
The 15″ Cragar S/S wheels are wrapped in 225/70 Road Hugger Radial G/T tires with raised white letters. The seller notes the suspension was overhauled in 2010, and braking is handled by power-assisted front discs and rear drums.
The front bench seat was sourced from a Buick Riviera, according to the seller, and is trimmed in gray and silver along with the rear seat and door panels. Appointments include a folding center arm rest, a custom floor console, a Hurst shifter, and a Sony CD stereo. The seller notes the heater assembly has been removed.
The billet-style steering wheel has a Cragar S/S horn cap and is mounted to a tilting column aft of a fabricated instrument panel covered in black upholstery. TPI-Tech gauges consist of a 140-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and readouts for fuel level, voltage, water temperature, and oil pressure. The digital odometer indicates approximately 5,500 miles have been added since the build was completed in 2010.
The 396ci big-block V8 is topped with a polished Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold and an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor. The firewall has a polished diamond-plate cover panel, and a chrome radiator cover and fan shroud are installed. The seller notes an oil drip when the car is parked.
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a T56 six-speed manual transmission and a 12-bolt rear end with a 4.10:1 limited-slip differential. Coated headers feed into a dual exhaust system with an H-pipe and Flowmaster mufflers.
