In 1964, car enthusiasts enjoyed a period of great automotive excellence.   General Motors introduced a range of impressive vehicles, including the Chevrolet Chevelle, which was positioned between the compact Chevy II and the luxurious Impala. The name ‘Chevelle’ is believed to mean ‘bold and beautiful,’ whether of French or American origin.   With a sleek A-body platform and a 115-inch wheelbase, the ’64 Chevelle was designed as GM’s response to Ford’s Fairlane. The 1964 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu SS Sport Coupe showcased here is a stunning example of this classic car.   It is currently in South Dakota, waiting for its next chapter to unfold.    

During a time when car design was considered an art form, one popular feature that car manufacturers often included was a matching interior and exterior color scheme.   This 1964 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu SS Sport Coupe is bathed in a stunning Metallic Aqua shade both inside and out, a nod to that trend.   The front and back of the car are framed by chrome bumpers, with shiny accents that also extend to the wheels, clad in radial T/A tires.   The iconic Chevrolet badge, a relic from the past, adorns the rear of the vehicle, with a chrome emblem sitting proudly on top.   Malibu SS logos are proudly displayed on the rear fenders, and the front grille features another chrome Chevrolet emblem.   The interior of the car is dominated by the Aqua color scheme, broken up only by gleaming chrome accents and a classic wooden steering wheel.   The front leather seats are spacious and plush, with the rear bench seat offering ample room and comfort.   Chrome details can be found on the leather-padded door panels, including handles, armrests, and window winders.   The dashboard includes three vintage gauges and a classic radio unit.   The most striking feature for driving enthusiasts is undoubtedly the Hurst shift knob.    

The 1964 Chevrolet Chevelle Hardtop is equipped with a strong 327 cubic inch V8 engine that produces 300 horsepower.   It is paired with a responsive 6-speed manual transmission, providing a unique driving experience that is seldom found today.   The Edelbrock Performer intake further enhances the engine’s performance, showcasing the vehicle’s dedication to power and accuracy.
