Current Ask
$49,700

The Chevrolet Chevelle became one of America's most recognizable nameplates during the 1960s, offering everything from practical family transportation to serious V8 performance. Introduced as Chevrolet's answer to the growing intermediate-size market, the Chevelle quickly established itself as a favorite among American motorists, with the Malibu serving as its more upscale and stylish offering. The 1966 model year brought a significant redesign, introducing the sweeping body lines, sculpted rear quarters, and distinctive styling that helped define the Chevelle's second generation. This 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Convertible captures that era beautifully, finished in classic Tropic Turquoise with a matching Turquoise interior and contrasting White convertible soft top. Under the hood sits a 283ci V8 paired with a three-speed column-shift manual transmission, an increasingly uncommon configuration affectionately known as the "three-on-the-tree." With power steering, power brakes, and factory-style appointments, this Malibu offers a traditional American motoring experience. Showing approximately 34,122 miles, this turquoise convertible is an appealing choice for enthusiasts who appreciate the simplicity, character, and open-air enjoyment of a classic Chevrolet.

$40,000

The Chevrolet Nova earned its place among America's most celebrated muscle cars by combining a lightweight, compact body with the performance potential of Chevrolet's small-block V8 engines.

Showing just 7,739 miles, this example is finished in Shadow Gray Metallic over a reupholstered Black interior. Its SS badging, American Racing chrome five-spoke wheels, and Cooper Cobra Radial G/T tires give it a distinctly vintage muscle car appearance, while an aftermarket sound system and additional instrumentation introduce a few modern conveniences. With its understated metallic finish, traditional small-block V8 power, and timeless Nova styling, this Chevrolet offers an appealing combination of classic American performance and enthusiast-oriented upgrades.
