Im a Ford guy, but theres something about that body style/ size of car I've always liked. In my mind it falls somewhere between a mustang and crownvic in size (there goes the Ford stuff again). Its just big enough to be mean, while not being a land yacht. Nice looking car.

Not being a car guy (as far as i know, inside my engine, there are rabbits running on wheels), but cool looking ride. I was trying to get an idea where you live in Kingston. Nice shot of the Wolfe Islander there.

Borla

A guy I know took one of those and stuffed a 572 Merlin under the hood. Talk about an insane ride.

Oh man! That thing is freaking cherry! What a beautiful car (with the possible exception of the wing that taste forgot).

Nice ride for sure.

newtx

Sweeeet ride. I'm guessing a big block form the cfm's on your carb. What year mailbu?

Scorps

No its a 350, just she likes her gas
Its a 81.


I hope when i get the body redone and painted to stuff a 502 under the hood

Lockjaw

Nice...for some reason that made me want to go buy my neighbors El Camino and do things to it.

BadNick

Very nice, Pain Train, congratulations. For me, I think that's probably my favorite Chevelle body style and yours sure looks like a very nice clean example.

Btw, where they called "Chevelle" or "Malibu" in Canada back then? I spent a lot of time in Canada, most Summers with my cousins in the Toronto area, and I remember the strange-to-U.S. names like Acadia, Parisianne (aka Bonneville) etc.

Scorps

Ya I know about the wierd name change, some people have called it a Chevelle before and all I say is a well it is a Malibu but the same thing

Brewmaniac

Nice ride!
I may be wrong but I was always understood they were Chevelle's and the Malibu was a version. I remember my mother bought a brand new 69' and my older brother switched off driving that and his 56 vet. He blew the trany(sp?) in the Malibu and my parents were pissed. I sure wish I would have gotten either one of those. I had a 73 Mustang convertable that was nice with top down but I would rather of had one of the other two.

Here's a reference to what I thought.

Other new '68 Chevelle features include a Hide-A-Way windshield wiper system (standard with SS 396, Malibu and Concours models), new exhaust emmission control systems, and as you can see, exciting new long hood / short deck style that smacks of a true sports car. There are, of course, many extra-cost options and custom features you can order to virtually customize your kind of car. Some are shown throughout and a complete list is available.

That's the way I remember it ...even in the U.S. the Malibu was a somewhat "upscale" or sporty version of a Chevelle, then up to the "SS" model. I was also questioning the unique Canadian names given to many of the domestic North American made Ford, GM, Chrysler cars back before the '90's.

Scorps

Damn I want a big block now...

BadNick

I like this one, pricey but proven and a pretty nice package. At $11,495 I hope you are expecting a large tax refund. Let me know when you can give me a ride.
