The 400ci small-block, four-speed automatic, and four-wheel disc brakes make it a driver rather than a numbers car. Commenters like the black-on-black look and the Rally wheels, and the value here comes down to the quality of a recent, lightly documented build.1967 Chevrolet Chevelle MalibuBring a TrailerWhat it's worth right nowAs a modified car, this Chevelle is valued as a restomod rather than by a factory benchmark. Classic.com shows comparable Chevelle Malibu restomods spanning roughly $40,000 to $110,000, a wide range driven by the caliber of the build, the drivetrain, and the finish. Dealer-listed Chevelle restomods with big-block or stroker power and name-brand suspension typically ask in the $60,000s and up, which sets the upper reference.AdvertisementAdvertisementThis car sits toward the more modest end of that spectrum. It is a Malibu rather than an SS, its 400ci small-block is a sensible street build rather than a big-block showpiece, and the documentation is thin, all of which temper where it lands. The black-on-black presentation and tasteful wheel-and-tire choice help its appeal, but they do not move it into top-tier restomod money.1967 Chevrolet Chevelle MalibuBring a TrailerWeighing the fresh build against the documentation gaps below, I would call fair value roughly $22,000 to $35,000. The current $11,000 bid with three days left is early and should climb, with the finished, turnkey nature of the car supporting the upper part of that range if the drivetrain checks out.Condition and detailsThe build is recent and reads as a clean driver. The 400ci small-block was installed in 2024 with an Edelbrock carburetor and Performer RPM intake, finned valve covers, a MagnaFlow exhaust, and an aluminum radiator with twin electric fans, and the seller describes a hydraulic roller cam, roller rockers, and aluminum heads. Backing it is a Monster Transmissions Stage 2 700R4 automatic and a 12-bolt PosiTraction rear with a Moser cover. The chassis was updated with tubular front control arms, rear coilovers, power steering, and four-wheel power disc brakes, and the cabin has bucket seats, a console, Classic Auto Air climate control, Classic Instruments gauges, and a retro-look stereo.1967 Chevrolet Chevelle MalibuBring a TrailerThe documentation and mileage are where a buyer should focus. The five-digit odometer shows 172 miles and the seller states roughly 500 miles have been added under current ownership, but total mileage is explicitly unknown, so this is a build-miles car rather than a verified-mileage one. The engine builder has since passed away and left no paperwork, so there are no build invoices for the engine, and the seller was still gathering the transmission invoice from Monster. That thin paper trail is the main soft spot on an otherwise turnkey car.1967 Chevrolet Chevelle MalibuBring a TrailerThere are a couple of small mechanical notes to verify. The seller reports the front-right tire rubs at full lock, which is a fitment item to sort, and the car received a new steering box after the test driver noted some play. The data plate decodes to a car originally finished in Marina Blue with a Medium Bright Blue interior, so this is a color change to black, which is expected on a restomod but worth noting for originality. Given the lack of engine documentation, a pre-purchase inspection and a careful test drive are especially worthwhile here.1967 Chevrolet Chevelle MalibuBring a TrailerAdvertisementAdvertisementThe offerSpecificationDetailMakeChevroletModelChevelle Malibu Sport CoupeYear1967Mileage172 shown (total unknown)Engine400ci small-block V8PowerNot stated by sellerTransmissionFour-speed 700R4 automaticDrive typeRear-wheel driveExterior colorBlackInterior colorBlackCurrent bidUSD $11,000Interested in this car?

The Malibu was the well-trimmed volume model beneath the SS, which makes it an ideal restomod base: the same handsome bodyshell without the price premium or the originality expectations that come with a genuine SS. Commenters here note how well the black-on-black-vinyl look and the classic Rally wheels suit the shape.1967 Chevrolet Chevelle MalibuBring a TrailerThat is exactly why these have become such popular restomod platforms. A builder can drop in modern power, brakes, and suspension and end up with a car that looks timeless but drives like something far newer, and the market rewards the quality of that execution rather than factory correctness. Values track the drivetrain, the finish, and the documentation, which is where this car's story matters: it presents as a tidy, sensible small-block build, and buyers will price it on how well it drives and how confident they are in the fresh, lightly documented mechanicals.My takeThis is a good-looking, turnkey Chevelle restomod that should be an enjoyable driver, and the black-on-black presentation is genuinely well done. My fair-value call is $22,000 to $35,000, and I would be comfortable in the middle of that for a car that inspects and drives well, with the thin engine documentation being the main thing holding it back from more.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe buying advice follows from that. Because the engine has no build paperwork, lean harder on a pre-purchase inspection and a thorough test drive, get the Monster transmission invoice the seller is retrieving, and confirm the front tire rub and the new steering box are sorted. Treat the mileage as unknown rather than low. Handle those, and the current $11,000 bid is an early number on a tasteful, usable restomod.Disclaimer: This post is for informational purposes only.
