Chevrolet, a brand that epitomized American automotive excellence during the 1960s, left an indelible mark on the nation's car culture. The 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle stands as a testament to this era, embodying the essence of American spirit through its unadorned and robust design. Unveiled to the public, it became an instant classic, a symbol of grit and inherent power. The 1966 Chevelle Malibu SS 396 presented here is no ordinary classic; it has undergone an extensive restoration with a touch of modern performance enhancements, making it a truly unique machine. With a mere 320 miles showing on the odometer, this Chevelle has been reimagined and is now poised to find a new home.
The exterior of this Chevelle exudes the classic charm of its era, resplendent in a striking marine blue finish. Its bold and unapologetic design, characterized by sharp, angular lines, commands attention wherever it roams. Notable exterior features include a Supersport hood, energy suspension mount body kit, and a complete glass kit. Billet Specialties Mag-GH wheels adorn both front and rear, accentuating the car's strong presence. The owner's meticulous approach extends to the bodywork, which has been subjected to a thorough process, including cleaning and phosphate treatment, multiple coats of Featherfill primer, base coat application, and meticulous hand-sanding and buffing, resulting in an impeccable finish. The interior of this Chevelle exudes a tasteful blend of original aesthetics and modern convenience. The seats, reportedly original, maintain their authentic charm, while original or OEM handles, fittings, door panels, and trim have been thoughtfully retained. The cabin boasts a Vintage Air heating and ventilation system, Dakota digital VHX gauges, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. The black interior, with its meticulous attention to detail, creates an ambiance that is both captivating and inviting.
Under the hood resides a formidable 396ci V8 engine, derived from an original Chevrolet 396 but subjected to a comprehensive rebuild. With an overbore resulting in a displacement of 414ci and a redline of 6,500rpm, this powerplant is a marvel of modern performance engineering. Meticulously assembled with new components, re-machined surfaces, and precision-balanced crankshaft, it exudes both power and reliability. Complementing this formidable engine is a Holley Terminator EFI system and a manual transmission - a fully-rebuilt Muncie four-speed with a Hurst shifter. The car's enhanced chassis and suspension, featuring tubular control arms, sway bars, a Borgeson polished steering joint, an Ididit tilt steering column, and Shwartz Performance front and rear suspension on a powder-coated chassis, ensure that this Chevelle delivers its performance with confidence and precision.
The 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, also known as the Chevrolet Malibu, was marketed as “America’s most popular midsize car” in 1969. The silhouette of the second generation Chevelle was designed with a long-hood/short deck shape with a high rear-quarter kick-up, making it easily the most fabulous Chevelle out of all the other generations. The semi-fastback and flowing roofline design was mostly influenced by the legendary Camaro. This Super Sport model boasts the 396ci V8 engine that has recently received maintenance as reported by the current owner. Take one look and no doubt this Chevrolet Chevelle has been meticulously taken care of by its current owner, and is for sale in Bakersfield, California.

As auto buyers started to look away from large, full-sized cars, Chevy started to increase their midsize offerings. One of these was the Chevelle, which debuted for the 1963 model year. The Chevelle was intended to compete against the Ford Fairlane which came out a year earlier. To ensure that Chevy recaptured the midsize market, the company offered the Chevelle in many body styles. These included a two-door hardtop, coupe, convertible, station wagon or sedan, a four-door sedan, hardtop or station wagon, and even the famous coupe utility, or ute. The top trim of the Chevelle was known as the Malibu. That makes this 1964 Chevrolet Chevelle SS Malibu one of the most upscale variants of the series, and this 75,444-mile two-door coupe is up for grabs right now. What’s even more appealing to collectors is that it’s got a host of original parts and elements.

Do you want a muscle car experience in a compact car body? That’s what Plymouth aimed to provide, with the Duster. Made between 1969 and 1976, the Duster was their two-door coupe in the compact car segment. However, Plymouth still endowed it with V8s of varying capacities, ensuring that buyers didn’t get the typically pedestrian performance that came with compact cars. If you’re interested in getting your hands on a Duster, check out this 1970 Plymouth Duster Restomod that’s for sale right now.

Ford’s Mustang continues to be a runaway sales hit over sixty years later. The starter of the pony car category, the Mustang could be had as a lovely open-topped cruiser, or a potent V8-packing muscle car scarer. One of the more performance-oriented derivatives was the Mach 1. As you may imagine, this was peak Jet Age era, and supersonic travel was an intriguing concept. While your road-going Mustang Mach 1 certainly couldn’t touch the speed of sound or get anywhere near it, it sure was a nice tag to have. Furthermore, the Mach 1 came with a host of cosmetic and performance enhancements. If you’re interested in owning a first-generation Mach 1, here’s a 112,334-mile 1972 Ford Mustang Mach 1 up for sale. The car has received recent servicing as well.
