This 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu convertible has been thoughtfully equipped and refurbished, making it a distinctive classic car opportunity. Powered by a 305ci V8 engine, this Chevelle was refinished in blue over black as part of refurbishment work completed prior to the seller’s acquisition in 2025.
The exterior features a black soft top accompanied by a matching top boot, complemented by 15″ Rally-style wheels and chrome bumpers. Notable styling details include an SS-style hood and front disc brakes, enhancing both the look and performance of the vehicle.
Inside, the cabin boasts black vinyl-trimmed front bucket seats and a rear bench, offering comfortable seating for passengers. A center console and retro-look radio are installed, while the two-spoke steering wheel fronts a horizontal 120-mph speedometer. A tachometer is mounted to the steering column, and a trio of auxiliary gauges sits below the dashboard, providing the driver with essential information.
The odometer displays 21,000 miles, with approximately 100 added under the current ownership; however, total mileage is unknown. Under the hood, the 305ci V8—fitted with a Holley carburetor—was installed by a previous owner. Additionally, a replacement dual exhaust system is in place, routing power to the rear wheels through a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission. Power steering and front disc brakes further enhance drivability.
Regarding the body and paint, the car was repainted in its current shade of blue by a prior owner. The seller reports that the quarter panels and trunk pan were replaced during refurbishment. While the vehicle presents well, there are some noted imperfections including a dent in the lower right quarter panel, a crack in the paint on the right side, as well as chips and waves in the paint and bodywork on both sides of the car. The Rally-style wheels are currently fitted with BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires.
