Vehicle Detail

1972 Chevelle Malibu 2-Door Sport Coupe (Big-Block "SS Clone") in good condition. Fun to drive. Gets lots of attention! Drag-car setup with racing seats and harnesses, roll cage, and no back seat. Solid all-metal body with no rust. Paint has some chipping around the edges (see video) but looks good from 10 feet away. Not a full race car; not a full street machine. Great car for cruising around town or for taking a few passes down the drag strip. I've owned this car since 2002. I've made very few changes to it over the years. It was pretty much as you see it here when I purchased it. I purchased the car in AZ from the son of the guy who built the car, but the son was not able to provide many technical details about the car. One regret that I've always had is that I did not make the purchase contingent upon getting details about the internal engine specifications. Here is a "walk-around and start-up" video from 2013 that shows some of the cosmetic defects in the paint: https://youtu.be/2oxAt6if4wc Here are some of the specifications: Clean & clear AZ title 454 BBC (468ci) ... fairly mild low-compression motor Chevy iron oval-port cylinder heads (casting number: 353049) Aluminum roller rocker arms Edelbrock/Carter AFB 750cfm carb (9755) Edelbrock Performer 2-0 intake manifold Edelbrock valve covers 700R4 overdrive transmission with shift kit 12-bolt rear with posi-traction 4.11 rear gears MSD 6A ignition with SS-Blaster coil MSD Adjustable Timing Control MSD Pro-billet distributor 6 point rollcage Rollcage swing-outs on each side for convenience Battery relocated to trunk (has NHRA-required battery disconnect switch) Racing seats with 5-point harnesses Noisy timing gear (produces blower-like whine) Exhaust Headers Dual 3" Flowmaster exhaust Weld wheels New front tires 12-year-old BFG Drag Radials on rear: 275x60r15 Front disc brakes Be-Cool aluminum radiatorDual electric fans with cowlFuel cell in trunk (approximately 10-12 gallon)Holley red electric fuel pumpJensen stereo with 4 speakersChrome alternatorChrome pulleysB&M Megashifter with neutral safety switchGrant steering wheel Autometer/Autogage gauges: speedometer, tachometer, water temp, oil temp, fuel level, water pressure, oil pressure, air/fuel ratio Unfortunately, this car does *not* have certain features: No air conditioning No windshield wipers No parking brake No hornNo power steering Here is a list of the known defects with this car: Rear parking lights do not workRight-rear turn signal does not workDriver-side window needs adjustment (loose when it is partially rolled down)Oil temperature gauge does not work Speedometer light does not workVoltmeter light does not workElectric fan switch faulty (bypassed for now)Chip in top edge of driver-side windowSmall dent in driver-side doorSpeedometer needs calibrationFuse panel is not securely mounted under the dash Aluminum dash insert is not fully secured at bottomFuel gauge readings are inconsistent (bad sending unit?)Reverse lights do not work PLEASE NOTE:THIS CAR IS ALSO LISTED FOR SALE LOCALLY IN THE PHOENIX, AZ AREA.
