There's no doubt that the Chevy Malibu is one of the most coveted muscle cars of its time, but this particular 1970 Chevrolet Malibu escalates that demand even further! Take a closer look at this classic, and you'll likely notice that it has quite a distinctive appearance that sets it apart from most specimens of its model. Despite featuring four doors, the pillarless design of its hardtop actually mirrors that found on the coupes and Super Sports from its era. The white vinyl draped over its roof not only adds a touch of sophistication but also increases its rarity. This vintage Chevy affords you the opportunity to bring it home and enjoy it just as it is - as you'd be hard-pressed to find a classic from its era with better road manners - or you could opt to put in some well-focused work to bring its factory-correct Fathom Blue Metallic paint back to its former glory while maximizing this headturner's curb appeal.
Climb inside, and one of the biggest advantages of this Chevy's full-fledged midsize proportions will become obvious right away. Its interior space is pretty substantial, with two rows of roomy bench seating and plenty of legroom both fore and aft. The featured blue vinyl interior might well be the same one it rolled off the assembly line with, and yet it appears to have plenty more miles of service left, and the contrasting carpeting below is in solid condition, too. This interior remains in factory configuration, and the stock gauges in the instrument cluster are in good working order, with a dash pad spanning the width of the cabin that shows no noticeable cracking or warping. A drop-in center console has been added to provide a pair of cupholders and some handy interior storage space, and while the factory air conditioning isn't blowing particularly cold at the moment, all necessary components are securely in place - so it shouldn't take much to get it back online.
Rest assured that this isn't a classic that will be restricted to the sidelines as you chart its course for the future. Its numbers-matching 307-cubic-inch V8 is in fine shape, starting up with no trouble, idling smoothly, and accelerating with plenty of enthusiasm. The accompanying 3-speed automatic TH350 transmission is renowned for its durability and continues to shift with slip-free precision.
