Description
Lot #624 - The second-generation Malibu was a fitting evolution of the original and moved to the upscale Chevelle neighborhood. The 2-door sports coupe body style was semi-fastback, but not so fastback to be unfashionable. Considering the Malibu line had only been introduced to the public a few short years prior, a sales rate over 265,000 upscale versions of the Chevelle were nothing to sneeze at in 1968, and Malibu handily outsold the lower-spec Chevelle line. Equipped with its original matching-numbers 350ci V8 CRE-code engine kicking out 300hp and a Turbo Hydramatic 350 automatic transmission, this heavily documented Malibu came fully equipped with power steering, power brakes, factory air conditioning, Cranberry Red paint with a black vinyl roof and a red vinyl bench seat, Rally wheels and white-letter tires. The car’s Build Sheet, Protect-O-Plate and Window Sticker complete the documentation proving the originality of the car.
