1967 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Wagon on 2040-cars

1967 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Wagon

For sale is my 1967 Chevrolet wagon. This is a correct Vin and Cowl tag Malibu 8 cylinder wagon built the 4th week of January, 1967 in Fremont, CA plant. The vehicle has current Black CA plates and believed to be a original CA car but can't be verified. Current CA title and registered. The original paint code is "SS" for Fawn exterior paint and interior code 783 for Gold trim. The vehicle and interior has been repainted to Marina Blue with Blue interior. I have owned the vehicle for about a 2 months and was planning on turning into a Pro Touring Chevelle wagon but have too many projects. This is the perfect wagon to restomod or Pro tour. A solid vehicle, floor and panels appear to be original, decent repaint but needs all new suspension, bushings, and some mechanical work. Runs decent, just needs some TLC.

Exterior: Vehicle appears to recently have been repainted in Marina Blue with a decent, presentable quality but not high quality. Body panels are very straight and don't see a lot of ripples in panels.Could use a buffing out. Bumpers, window mouldings, trim, grille and chrome all in good condition. Has a roof rack in good condition and rear window deflector. I personally wouldn't spend the money to repaint and put money towards suspension and other upgrades.

Interior: Has been redone and changed to Blue. Carpet, seat covers, headliner, rear trim has been replaced or repainted. Very good condition. Comes with Bench seat w/fold down arm rest and headrests. Interior condition is a 7 of 10. Very presentable as has been done. Comes with clock (not working), aftermarket radio w/IPOD auxiliary connection and rear speakers. Aftermarket oil pressure and temp gauge. Working heater, this is a not a original A/C car.

Engine/Drivetrain: Has a rebuilt 327 cu, V8, unknown how many miles but runs good. The stampings on block ID are missing so cant verify is original block. Has newer Edelbrock intake and carburetor, HEI distributor and ignition w/Petronix plug wires just added. Stock style exhaust manifolds, Chevy bowtie valve covers & air cleaner, Harrison radiator which I just had tanked and cleaned, runs a 185-190 degrees,new hoses and t-stat. Turbo 350 automatic transmission, shifts fine, slight vibration at hwy speed. 10 bolt rear end , gear ratio unknown. Overall runs solid, good oil pressure, starts up every time, slight vibration in driveline. Engine bay is very clean, good condition and with some minor touch up can be very presentable.

Brakes/Suspension: Power drum brakes front & rear with dual master cylinder. Stops nicely, surprised how well it stops without disc brakes. Front and rear suspension components, bushings, shocks, body bushings need replacing. Vehicle wanders on the road and body creaks when turning. Basically, needs all suspension. It does has power steering and works fine. I was going to get a complete suspension kit, 2" drop spindles, convert to power front disc brakes. Has newer 15x7 SS style wheels with BF Goodrich 245/60-15 tires. Has rear sway bar.

Misc: Tailgate lowers and raised with no issues. Outside crank handle works but tailgate wont lock from outside. All exterior glass including tailgate glass in good shape. Fuel gauge works seems accurate, speedo working, turn signal works but wont cancel-needs replacement. Headlights, turn signals, brakes, interior & dash lights all work. Heater working. Clock not working. Missing shift indicator on column.

Undercarriage: Appears very sound, needs a good steam cleaning. Doesn't appear that any panels cut. Could use a new gas tank ,suspension tired.  With some good scrubbing and detailing looks like will clean up nice.

This is the perfect Chevrolet wagon for someone looking for a solid vehicle, needing some TLC . Someone looking for a restomod or Pro tour project this is the perfect vehicle for you. If it doesn't sell I will spend the $5-$10k to make this a awesome pro tour wagon or if you want to do something different this is a great vehicle to do it on.

The vehicle is sold AS-IS. I have a reasonable "Buy it Now" price and reserve. I am not in desperation to sell . I am not interested in Trades. Please don't bid if you think this is a $5K or $12K car. Car is currently registered, clean CA title. The vehicle can be viewed locally by appt. If out of state buyer I will hold vehicle for a reasonable time period for transport.
