This 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Sport Coupe underwent refurbishment around 24 years ago under previous ownership, during which it was repainted in champagne gold with a black vinyl roof and stripes. The car is equipped with a replacement 454ci V8 engine paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. Key features include a Positraction limited-slip differential, 14″ Sport wheels, front disc brakes, a cowl-induction hood, a black grille, a driver-side mirror, a horseshoe-style shifter, an AM/FM radio, air conditioning, and a center console, along with an Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold. Acquired by the selling dealer in 2023, the vehicle is now being offered with a clean Indiana title.
Originally painted green, the car was repainted in champagne gold with black stripes and a black vinyl roof during the 2000 refurbishment. Additional features include a cowl induction hood, SS badging, a driver-side mirror, and hideaway windshield wipers.
The 14″ sport wheels are fitted with BFGoodrich Radial T/A white-letter tires. The car also has power steering, with braking managed by power-assisted front discs and rear drums.
The interior features front bucket and rear bench seats reupholstered in black vinyl, along with a horseshoe-style shifter, a center console, an AM radio, and air conditioning.
The tilting steering wheel frames a 120-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and an analog clock, alongside gauges for amperage, fuel level, and coolant temperature. An oil-pressure gauge is mounted beneath the dashboard. The five-digit odometer reads 54k miles, about 50 of which were added by the current owner. However, the total mileage is unknown.
Powering the car is a replacement 454ci V8 engine, featuring an Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold, a four-barrel carburetor, and a cowl-induction air cleaner assembly. The seller notes that there is some oil seepage from the oil pan gasket.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a Turbo Hydra-Matic three-speed automatic transmission and a Positraction limited-slip differential.
