BODY OVERVIEW:
This Chevelle Malibu wears its SS tribute gear with confidence! The body is in good, honest driver condition and does not appear to have undergone a full restoration. Panels line up well and the stance is just right. No major body damage or questionable patchwork—just a solid foundation for enjoying now or customizing further later if you desire.
PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW:
Originally Lime Green, the car now wears a darker green repaint done around 20 years ago. It still presents very well both in photos and in person. However, closer inspection reveals some bubbling around the rear window. The paint is far from tired, but not flawless—more of a “drive it now, paint it later (if you must)” situation.
INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW:
The interior was originally Dark Jade cloth/vinyl and now sports fully Dark Jade vinyl seats. The rest of the interior appears to be original and has held up very well over the years. The dash, door panels, and headliner are all in great shape, making for a very cohesive and presentable cabin. Green isn’t usually our first choice on a muscle car, but we have to admit that the green interior really sells the dark green exterior!
MECHANICAL OVERVIEW:
Under the hood, the 350ci V8 starts easily and delivers a healthy dose of power–and quite the rumble! Although this is not the original engine, it is a 350 with a 4-bolt main. The 700R4 transmission shifts smoothly, giving you the convenience of overdrive for highway cruising–an upgrade simply not available when this car was new. Power steering makes driving easy, and power drum brakes bring everything to a stop with confidence. The exhaust note is classic muscle—aggressive but not obnoxious!

-
Turn-key condition—everything works as it should
-
Green-on-green color combo is pure 1970s cool!

Comfortable and affordable driver muscle car
WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR:

-
No keys for the doors
DOES IT NEED ANYTHING?
Nothing essential–it’s ready to drive and enjoy today! You may want to address the paint defects eventually or source door keys, but there is nothing stopping you from becoming a menace on the streets today.
This Chevelle is ideal for the enthusiast looking for an affordable entry into classic muscle! It’s perfect for someone who values drivability over concours perfection, but still wants something that looks sharp, sounds right, and isn’t likely to leave them stranded. Great for weekend cruises, local car shows, or simply scratching that V8 itch without breaking the bank!
