LS2-Powered 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Out of a combination of a lifelong automotive passion and an unyielding desire to support the people of his Alabama community, the Generous Collection was born. Mr. Greg Rusk, a successful business leader in the cardboard industry, with a big heart for helping families and friends in times of need, would regularly pay overly generous fees to acquire an interesting vehicle. After decades of collecting and supporting local automotive enthusiasts, the Rusk family is ready for these vehicles, each with their own story, to write their next chapter back on the road, where they belong.

The Generous Collection returns with Part 2 offering over 250 cars in August all offered without reserve, emerging from years of long-term silent storage. From the quiet shadows of the Generous Collection to the sunshine of backroads and highways, enthusiasts now have the opportunity to own a piece of a generous car-collecting legacy.

Ever since the first-year 1964 model debuted, the uplevel Chevelle Malibu has been a stylish, powerful, and desirable muscle car. And two things happened in 1966 that made it legendary: the Chevelle was restyled, and the powerful SS 396 became its own model.

By 1967, the Chevelle’s voluptuous body was complemented by horizontal bars in the front grille and on the rear panel, along with frenched taillights. And the SS 396 looked positively sinister, with bulging faux hood scoops, blacked-out trim in the grille and rear cove, and SS 396 and Super Sport emblems warning of the 325- to 375-horsepower big block within.

But as impressive as the car was, the best way to enjoy a classic Chevelle today for many is with modern upgrades. This example left the factory as a V8-powered Chevelle Malibu, but has been refinished in black and now wears an SS 396 hood, SS 396 and Super Sport badges, and aftermarket wheels over disc brakes. The black interior features reupholstered seats, an aftermarket gauge cluster, and a Hurst shifter. The suspension has been enhanced with coil over shocks. And it’s powered by a modified, fuel-injected LS2 V8 backed by what is believed to be a 6-speed manual transmission.

This 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu is now represented at no reserve by a Broad Arrow Specialist with a clean Alabama title in the current owner's name.

Please note that all lots in The Generous Collection are offered after many years of storage, without operation or service, in warehouse facilities. The seller endeavored to provide very limited mechanical servicing to bring some cars back to running potential; however, not all cars will be running at time of sale. Because of the extended static display, it must be assumed that all cars will require extensive additional mechanical attention before being driven safely and, in most cases, cleaning both the interiors and exteriors. All the cars will have imperfections associated with long-term static storage and require extensive sorting to perform best and safely. The burden of determining a car’s status, both mechanical and cosmetic, rests fully on the bidder, prior to bidding and the close of the auction. All lots are sold as is, where is.  

Additionally, due to the location of the collection and limited access to the facility following the close of the auction, all lots must be retrieved while a Hagerty Marketplace representative is onsite, between the hours of 9AM to 6PM local time beginning Monday, September 14 through Wednesday, September 30. No cars can be retrieved prior to September 14, and any lots remaining after September 30 will be re-located outside in the parking lot for retrieval by their buyers.
