Turbocharged LS-Powered 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Sport Coupe

Description

The second-generation Chevelle hit 1968 like a bomb, with the redesigned A-body’s sweeping fastback lines instantly captivating buyers. A new frame with a shorter 112-inch wheelbase, paired with a compliant coil-spring suspension, delivered both confident handling and everyday comfort. And with 300, Concours, and Malibu trim levels, Chevy offered a Chevelle for any budget.

The uplevel Malibu Sport Coupe was the gentleman’s hot rod: 15 Magic-Mirror finishes enhanced its timeless lines. A high-end interior offered four premium fabrics and deep-twist carpet. And six- and eight-cylinder engines ranging from 140 to 325 horsepower — backed by 3- or 4-speed manual or 2- or 3-speed automatic transmissions — provided the fun. In short, the Malibu was a mix of stylish luxury and powerful performance.

This 1968 Chevelle Malibu Sport Coupe is now powered by a turbocharged 5.7-liter LS1 V8 engine backed by an automatic transmission. Four-wheel disc brakes haul it down from considerable speed, while aftermarket suspension components and upgraded wheels sharpen the handling. It has been refinished in a stunning silver, and the redone interior features red bucket seats, modernized instrumentation, an updated steering column with a custom steering wheel, and much more.

This unique, turbocharged V8 Chevelle is now offered by the selling dealer with an owner's manual, warranty booklet with Protect-O-Plate, a removed gauge cluster showing 69,991 miles, and a clean Florida title.
