1967 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Convertible

The Chevrolet Malibu is a mid-size car manufactured and marketed by Chevrolet from 1964 to 1983 and since 1997. The Malibu began as a trim-level of the Chevrolet Chevelle, becoming its own model line in 1978. Originally a rear-wheel-drive intermediate, GM revived the Malibu nameplate as a front-wheel-drive car in February 1997.

Named after the coastal community of Malibu, California, the Malibu was marketed primarily in North America, with the eighth generation introduced globally. 

This was an awesome year for the Chevelle. The styling is best described as crisp where each fender came to a well-defined point front and rear. Plus, there were nicely creased lines running the full length of the car. And you can see that so nicely today because the body was done right during the full restoration.

By 1967, the SS 396 was the only Chevelle available with a high-performance big block, and most Malibus came with a 283ci small block. This 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu convertible is powered by a 396ci V8 325 bhp mated to a four-speed manual transmission.

The interior features black vinyl upholstery on bench seats with matching door panels and the carpeting.

The dashboard houses gauges including a sweep 120-mph speedometer that is said to need a new cable.

As American car buyers took a fancy to the mid-size phenomenon of the mid-1960s, Chevrolet was left with a gap in its lineup. Bel Airs and Impalas were too big for some; Chevy II and Corvair too tiny. The answer came in the form of the A-body Chevelle, traditional in both engineering and upright styling — actually harking back in size and shape to the “classic” 1955-1957 models.
