The 1968 Chevelle got an all-new distinctly sculpted body with tapered front fenders and a rounded beltline. The car adopted a long-hood/short-deck profile with a high rear-quarter "kick-up". While all 1967 Chevelle models rode a 115-inch wheelbase, the 1968 coupes and convertibles now rode a sporty 112-inch wheelbase. Tread width grew an inch front and rear. Hardtop coupes featured a semi-fastback, flowing roofline. Top-trim models (including the SS 396 and new luxury Concours) featured GM's new Hide-A-Way wiper system. Lesser Chevelles would get that change later. The car you see here is a very nice example of a '68 Malibu Convertible. This is an original V8 convertible that now has a Big Block V8 and 4 speed manual transmission! The car has benefitted from an older restoration that included a new interior, new paint and a new top. The motor is very strong and the transmission shifts with no problems. The paint on the car is in very good condition and shows only a few minor scratches and dings. As you can see in the photos, the door alignment isn't perfect but they do shut solid. The newer top is power and goes up and down with no issues. Inside, the black bucket seats are new and look great. They are finished in vinyl as well as the back bench seat. The center console is from a Chevelle and includes the Hurst 4 speed transmission. The dash is in good condition and has had the addition of all new gauges. The full gauge cluster is from AutoMeter and looks great. The carpet is older but not perfect. Under the hood the big block 454 runs great. Connected to the close ratio 4 speed manual transmission, the car has tons of power and is a blast to drive. The new aluminum radiator is from BeCool and keeps the car cook all year long. The headers go back through a full Flowmaster exhaust system which makes the car sound great. The mileage shows 1,216 and is since the restoration was completed. This is a nice car but has been through an amateur restoration. There are some things that need to be done to make it perfect, but if you want a nice, inexpensive driver, this is a great car for you. VIN number is 136678K1124323 and the car is being sold on a clean Missouri title.
