A triple-black 1964 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu SS convertible already seems like the perfect cruising classic. Then when you add in the power and growl of the upgraded stroker V8, then you know exactly why you want this one. The Chevy Chevelle hit the scene in a big way for the first time in 1964, and a genuine Super Sport convertible like this one was a key reason for the success. The design represents the new edge style of the 1960s,... especially the flared rear quarter panels that are one of the car's defining feature. Plus, the crisply contoured hood bears a familial resemblance to its big brother, the Impala. As you look over this droptop you'll love the look of the black paint against all that brightwork. In fact, the shining elements are excellent on everything from the wide bumpers to the SS badging, which tells you someone invested a lot in this convertible to keep it shining bright. The only piece that doesn't look straight from the factory are the stylish Cragar SS wheels... but let's face it, if this was your SS back in the 60s, you'd do the exact same thing. Beneath the black vinyl roof is a black interior. So the exterior paint, roof, and interior combine to deliver the triple-black presentation that's always in demand. As a true Super Sport, it gets the details right with bucket seats up front and a bright center console running in-between. Cruising always feels extra cool when you look out from behind the dual-spoke steering wheel and see the big, bright dash panel with round gauges. Of course, you'll also instantly pick up on one modern upgrade. The radio still keeps the original knob-style presentation, but the AM/FM/cassette stereo with digital tuner means you get to cruise with much more modern tunes. Just like the exterior, the engine bay uses plenty of brightwork against dark paint to draw notice. The ribbed valve covers, pulleys, intake, air topper, and much more have been polished to an attention-grabbing shine. But while the bright appearance will draw the crowds, the growl this one makes will scare them away. That's because you're looking at a 383 cubic-inch stroker V8. More than just displacement, this performance motor inhales deeply through an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock intake. It exhales with authority as the headers feed the H-pipe dual exhaust. Out on the road, the enhanced V8 feels quite nice as the extra power combines with the Powerglide automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, and thick sway bars front & rear to create a terrific total cruiser experience. This is that bold, powerful, and memorable classic that you've been waiting for. So don't let this first-year Chevelle SS droptop slip by. Call today!!!
