1968 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Convertible 2-Door 5.0L

Description for Chevrolet Chevelle 19680000

1968 Chevelle Malibu Convertible - Power top - Nice Driver car!
Interior:
The black interior is clean and the carpet appears to be a factory style woven wool.The dash shows some wear areas and the radio does not work.
Power top:It has a newer black convertiblewith glass rear window. It looks to be almost new and powers up and down as it should. It is clean with no rips or tears and has a glass rear window.
Engine:Factory numbers matching 307ci / V-8 that has some minor modifications from factory including polished valve covers, olished Billet wireloomes, nd other misc chrome. It was recently detailed, ut it is not in show ready condition. Comes with a fresh tune up (Cap/Rotor/Plugs). Just had a compression test complete and results were 105-106 across all cylinders.
Body:Fresh Matadore Red Paint with Black racing stripes.The paint work is nice; bright and very glossy. The black stripes are painted and blend well under theclear-coat. The body is very ( I would say 'laser', ut let's be honest, 'm not a paint and body expert)straight and has only a few minor imperfections not visible on camera. The gaps in the hood area could be tighter. I can be pretty picky, o this is why I mention it.The front fenders were replaced with new metal so the hood gaps are a bit wider than factory spec. The rest of the gaps appear good.
Transmission:Factory 2-Spd Hydro-matic (Auto) Transmission.
Power Steering:Steers fine and tracks straight down the road.
Brakes:Drum brakes stop the car as they should.They do not respond like disk brakes, ut I do not believe disc were factory spec for the '68Malibu.
Trunk:The trunk is solid with no apparent rust. It is in need of a cleaning from the body shop and also needs a newtrunk liner installed.
Chrome: The chrome is nice but not restored. It has a couple very minor blemishes and shows minor surface wear. It is shiny and cleans up well and, n my opinion, ine for a driver car.I recently exhaust ends with nice oval tips to gave the rear end a clean nice appearance.
Needs:-Weather stripping installed @ trunk, indows, tc..-Couple ofgrommets installed on bumpers.-Driver seat cover replaced.-Radio does not work.
Parts Included:-Fresh seat cover for Driver seat - Current cover has (2) splits that are not clearlyvisible in photos.-New center console shift/gear indicator - current shift indicator has blemishes and is faded.-New weather stripping for trunk and top areas - not yet installed after repaint-Other parts in boxes that I have notopened, ndhonestly, annot remember all of them.
General:Very rare, lean, nd nice driving car.Starts and runs well. Sounds throaty like a V-8 should without being obnoxious like the 396ci SS. Theundercarriage was undercoated some years ago, ndappears clean and solid with no apparent surface rust. This Chevelle will run down theroad at 70 mph all day and feels solid doing it!I have driven it in parades with my family this summer, nd just about all over town racking up close to 1000 miles on it so far this summer. It drives well and should put a big smile on your face, nd your significant other's too, hen you arecruising to your local drive-in or car show!
Come and see it and drive it home anywhere... but you might want to trailer it as the paint is really nice!
