1964 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Pro Street

[Chuck Most]

Ted Doyle wanted a '64 Chevelle forever. For one thing, he was born in 1964. And for another, a '64 Chevelle was the frumpiest looking car he could think of. He'd always wanted to build a pro street car, and now that he was retired from driving a Package Car for UPS, now was the time.

He managed to find an older restoration of a '64, and it was painted a rather bland shade of green, too. With the help of his son and a few buddies, the Chevelle was tubbed and treated to a triple carb 409. In keeping with the dull sleeper look, he went with plain black steelies, not bothering with hubcaps. 

Ted is enjoying every second of wheel time with the Chevelle, and even his wife Angie has taken a shine to the boxy tire shredder. He's thinking about adding air conditioning, and maybe a supercharger, but for now Ted is just happy living the dream.

This is the AMT '64 Chevelle on the '67 Pro Street chassis, powered by a 409 cobbled from '59 El Camino and '62 Bel Air parts. Paint is Krylon Italian Olive, with Moebius F100 front wheels and MPC Dodge Monaco rear wheels.

That is well executed. Could be anyone's Uncle or brother. Just a nice street car looking for a little action.

Proper...

Like the story and the theme of your build. Frumpy looking? They sure sold a ton of these Chevelles when they came out and a friend of mine at the time got the first Malibu SS the dealer got in late 1963.  Great looking paint and chrome trim. the engine detailing is well done. Like how you used the different kits for parts.

Ted seems like a cool guy to hang out with. He definitely has good taste in cars too!!

That's the way that paint comes out. It's actually a little glossier than I expected so I left it.

It's just a solid mass of semigloss black, I did absolutely no detailing to the chassis.

Now that's what a "sleeper" looks like! Very well done.
