Description
Lot #1098 - Featured on Velocity's "Bitchin' Rides" wtih Dave Kindig, this Chevelle Malibu is a 1964 SS hardtop that was initially built by Roadster Shop in Illinois to be more of a driver for a previous owner. It was then updated by Kindig-It Design in Utah, giving the car its show-quality finishing touches. The Malibu, dubbed "Maliboost," is equipped with some of the best performance components the auto industry has to offer. Many performance upgrades have been done to the undercarriage and under the hood. A built 6.0-liter LS V8 engine is outfitted with Precision Turbos twin turbochargers, custom-built and coated headers, VaporWorx fuel system and custom Roadster Shop 3-inch dual exhaust system with Borla mufflers, and is paired to a Finishline Level 7 4L70 automatic transmission. It has a 4-inch driveshaft, custom cold-air boxes by Kindig-It Design and custom lava heat shields. The undercarriage features a custom Roadster Shop FastTrack Pro-Touring chassis, power rack & pinion steering, custom independent front suspension, Strange Engineering differential, triangulated 4-link rear suspension and adjustable Penske Racing shocks. Maliboost rides on a set of 18x9 front 20x12 rear Forgeline DE3P 3-piece forged alloy wheels wearing 275/35/18 and 355/30/20 Michelin tires, while 14-inch Wilwood rotors and 6-piston calipers provide the stopping power. Finished in a custom PPG silver blend from Kindig-It Design, the majority of the car's factory body lines are maintained with custom touches such as widened rear quarters, mini-tubbed wheel wells, rechromed bumpers, shaved bumper hardware, flush-mounted Kindig-It Design door handles and custom "Maliboost" emblems. The interior features pocketed and bolstered seats wrapped in Scottish leather dyed violet, custom center console, one-off CNC center tray crafted by Kindig-It, custom leather-wrapped dash pod, AutoMeter gauges, Billet Specialties split-spoke steering wheel and a roll cage that is custom-painted to match the violet leather.
