Modified 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Sport Coupe

Description

The 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu stood out in Chevrolet’s mid-size lineup, perfectly balancing performance and sophistication. Part of the second-generation Chevelle, the ’66 Malibu showcased a sleeker, more sculpted body with a bold front-end design, complemented by a redesigned grille and tail section. Buyers could choose from multiple body styles, including coupe, sedan, convertible, and station wagon.

As an upscale trim, the Malibu offered premium touches like deluxe cloth and vinyl interiors, deep-twist carpeting, and a host of power and convenience options. Under the hood, options ranged from an efficient inline-six to powerful V8 engines. As a uplevel complement to the muscular SS396, the V8 Malibu earned praise for its comfort and understated elegance, as well as its power.

This 1966 Chevelle Malibu Sport Coupe was purchased by the seller in 2020. It’s finished in red, powered by a modified small-block Chevy V8 of unknown displacement, features upgraded gauges and audio, and wears Super Sport badges and aftermarket wheels.
