Description

This 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu is an interesting classic. It carries the right classic elements, like its factory-correct colors and numbers-matching V8. It even upholds its premium Malibu image with features like the A/C interior. But this hardtop also gives you that right touch of an upgraded Super Sport nature that always looks cool. And there were even recent investments in upgrading the suspension, dual exhaust, four-wheel disc brakes, and more to help give this a more SS-level feel on the road. The result is quite an eye-catching classic cruiser.

Pewter Silver is a great timeless color, so we're happy to see a trim tag that tells us this is factor-correct. The black vinyl roof is also correct, and that looks right on a premium Malibu. But this is not just some preserved Chevy. You can tell there has been a nice investment in this one to give it a bit more attitude. A respray included an upgraded to SS-style stripes on top. The black paint not only goes with the vinyl roof but also the upgraded blackout grille and black background LED headlights. It makes for the right mix of sporty and sophistication. The same goes for the later-style Super Sport wheels. Straight body lines, a good gloss, and form-fitting bumpers make for a total presentation that's quite attractive while still remaining very vintage.

The black interior goes well with all the exterior accents. So it makes for a fine package inside and out that will have you leaving the windows down on this pillarless hardtop. It's a comfortable car with a smooth dash and plush carpeting. Vintage fans will even appreciate details like the correct Malibu door panels and working dome light. A Malibu is a true vintage cruiser, and so it's nice to have two rows of wide bench seats that are good for both taking along more friends or just a more personal drive-in night. In fact, the way to really view this Chevy is as a car that you can cruise any time. That's why there have been well-integrated upgrades, like the retro-style AM/FM digital tuner with USB input and the stock air conditioning controls now leading to an updated system blowing cold with modern R134a refrigerant.

Under the hood is the numbers-matching 350 cubic-inch V8. It's showcased correctly with everything from bold orange block paint to the correct decal on the air grabber. We like how this Chevelle respects its stock nature with an ultra-tidy engine bay to showcase the original motor, but if you look underneath, you'll see something quite cool. The V8 now exhales with added power thanks to newer headers and a full dual exhaust. So it's stock up top but more powerful at the bottom. In fact, while you're looking at the undercharge photos, you're going to see some terrific investments all done within the last couple of years. It includes a new front suspension with tubular A-arms, new Bilstein shocks all around, and an awesome four-wheel power disc brakes upgrade. Add in the three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and wide Cooper Cobra tires, and you can see how this sharp-looking Chevy is great for all-around driving enjoyment

This is the classic Chevelle with the right premium Malibu features, some upgraded SS sporty style, and the right new investments to be fun to out on the road. So if you're looking to drive an icon, you know this is the one. Call today!!!
