496-Powered 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Sport Coupe 4-Speed

It is powered by a 496ci big-block V8 linked with a Muncie four-speed manual transmission and a 12-bolt PosiTraction rear axle with 4.88:1 gears, and further equipment includes a Holley carburetor, an Edelbrock intake, 17″ American Racing wheels, front disc brakes, ladder bars, Detroit Speed sway bars, a cowl induction hood, and a custom exhaust system with electric cutouts. The cabin is outfitted with black vinyl bench seats, a retro-style digital stereo, and updated speakers.

The bodywork was stripped and refinished in red with black hood and decklid stripes under current ownership, and photos taken during metalwork repairs and floor pan replacement are provided in the gallery. Details include a cowl-induction hood, a black grille, hideaway windshield wipers, chrome bumpers, and polished exhaust finishers.

Vintage-look 17″ American Racing wheels feature SS-style center caps and are mounted with Hankook Ventus ST tires. Stopping power is provided by front disc and rear drum brakes. The suspension utilizes front and rear Detroit Speed sway bars as well as rear ladder bars.

The front and rear bench seats are upholstered in black vinyl, and refurbishment work consisted of fitting new upholstery and installing sound-deadening material beneath the replacement carpets. The cabin is also equipped with a Muncie shifter and a retro-style digital stereo with Bluetooth connectivity linked to an amplifier and aftermarket speakers. An American Autowire harness was installed during the refurbishment.

The tilting steering wheel has woodgrain trim and frames a 120-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and a fuel gauge. The five-digit odometer shows 38k miles, approximately 100 of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown. The steering wheel and dashboard are said to have been replaced during the build.
