For The Love Of Convertibles. Steve’s car is a 1966 Chevelle Malibu convertible. He bought the car in 1993 because he had one just like it in 1974 when he was attending high school. Steve says:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have owned convertibles all my life and absolutely love this car!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Steve\u2019s 1966 Chevelle is not an all original car, originally it was maroon with an automatic transmission. Steve repainted the Chevelle Malibu 2 years ago to feature a stunning Marina Blue exterior paint coupled with a matching blue PUI<\/a> interior purchased from Ground Up SS396.com. Through the years Steve has had multiple engines in the Chevelle, including a 454 and a 1969 427. Two years ago Steve rebuilt the original 283 power plant\u00a0and had it bored .30 over with an aluminum intake and Holley<\/a> 650 CFM carb. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the rear this Chevelle features a 10 bolt positraction rear-end with 3.73 gears. It has headers and a Flowmaster<\/a> exhaust to give it a breathtaking sound, a Griffin aluminum radiator to keep everything cool, and Steve installed a set of front disc brakes to give the Chevelle some added stopping power.\u00a0Steve also just finished equipping both a Hotchkis front and rear suspension to bring the car’s handling into the 21st century!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, Steve\u2019s 1966 Chevelle has 71,000 original miles on it and Steve says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
