1970 Chevrolet Chevelle

This 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu SS 396 convertible is finished in blue with white stripes over a blue interior, and power is provided by a 402ci V8 paired with a Muncie four-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes a Positraction differential, the F41 Special Performance suspension package, a power-operated white soft top, a Hurst shifter, front and rear bench seats, and an AM/FM radio. The owner purchased the car in 2019, after which the front suspension and brakes were overhauled, the interior was re-trimmed, the gauges were refurbished, and a Centerforce clutch was installed. This Chevelle Malibu SS convertible is now offered by the seller on behalf of the owner with a build sheet, an owner’s manual, partial service records, and a clean New Jersey title in the owner’s name. The car left the factory in Fathom Blue with white stripes and was refinished under previous ownership. Details include a power-operated white soft top, a driver-side mirror, SS badges, hideaway windshield wipers, and chrome bumpers. Paint chips are pictured in the gallery below. The 14″ Super Sport wheels are mounted with Firestone Wide Oval white-letter tires, and the car is equipped with the F41 Special Performance suspension package and power steering. The seller notes the front suspension was overhauled and refinished, and the power-assisted front disc and rear drum brakes were refurbished in 2023. The front and rear bench seats were reupholstered in blue vinyl with replacement springs and padding under previous ownership, and the seller notes the dashboard was refurbished and the carpeting was replaced following the owner’s acquisition. The Hurst shifter wears a cue-ball knob, and the seller states the replacement Delco AM/FM radio has been refurbished. The two-spoke steering wheel fronts a 120-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and an analog clock in addition to readouts for amperage, coolant temperature, and fuel level. AutoMeter gauges for oil pressure, voltage, and water temperature are mounted below the dash. The seller notes the instrument cluster was refurbished and recalibrated by Redline Gauge and Clock Repair in Michigan along with the clock, which received a quartz movement. The five-digit odometer shows 47k miles. Total mileage is unknown. The SS 396 was equipped with a 402ci V8 that is topped with a Quadrajet four-barrel carburetor. The seller notes that the carburetor was rebuilt, the distributor was overhauled, and American Autowire chassis harnesses were installed during the 2023 refurbishment work. Power is routed to the rear wheels through a Muncie M20 four-speed manual transmission and a Positraction limited-slip differential with 3.31:1 gearing. The seller notes a Centerforce clutch was installed along with a replacement pressure plate and throwout bearing in 2023. A partially damaged build sheet will accompany the car.
