Wrench Report

By Chris Esparza

RestoMods Head Mechanic. 20 year classic car mechanic & builder.

Building a big-block Chevelle is one thing, but pairing a 502ci V8 with a Tremec five-speed manual turns this '67 into a legitimate driver's car. This body-off restoration strikes a clean, modern chord with its Silver Metallic finish and smoothed firewall, ditching the cluttered engine bays of the past for a March billet drive and Holley Sniper EFI. It's got a serious stance thanks to a full Hotchkis suspension setup and staggered 17-inch Vision wheels that barely hide those six-piston Wilwoods. With only 3,000 miles since the build and a 3.73-geared 12-bolt rear end, it's a well done cruiser which can unleash that raw big block power as needed.

Description

This 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu sports coupe underwent a body-off refurbishment and modification completed in 2013. The build integrated a 502ci V8 and a Tremec five-speed manual transmission alongside comprehensive updates to the suspension and braking systems. Finished in silver metallic over a black vinyl interior, the car features Holley Sniper EFI, Hotchkis suspension components, and Wilwood disc brakes. The vehicle was acquired by the current seller from Bring a Trailer in December of 2025. It is now offered by the private seller with clean New York registration/transferrable title. The vehicle is located in Highland, New York.

The exterior was refinished in silver metallic during the 2013 restoration. Styling details include a twin-dome hood, tinted windows, SS-style emblems, and finned rocker panel moldings. The front end is characterized by a black-finished grille and headlight surrounds, while the hood operates on Eddie Motorsports billet hinges.

Chrome-finished 17″ Vision Legend wheels are mounted with Nitto NT555 Extreme ZR tires measuring 245/45 at the front and 305/45 at the rear. Also visible are the 6 piston front Wilwood disc brakes.

The engine bay houses a 502ci V8 featuring Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection and a March billet accessory drive. Technical highlights include MSD ignition, a Powermaster high-torque starter, and a cooling system consisting of an aluminum radiator and SPAL electric fans. The firewall was modified and smoothed during the build. Power is routed through a Tremec five-speed manual transmission with a Centerforce clutch to a 12-bolt rear axle equipped with a limited-slip differential, 3.73:1 gearing, and an aluminum cover.

The chassis is equipped with a Hotchkis suspension system featuring uprated dampers, front and rear sway bars, and boxed rear control arms. The power-assisted braking system utilizes Wilwood six-piston red calipers over slotted and drilled rotors at all four corners.

The exhaust system features Hooker ceramic-coated headers feeding into an H-pipe configuration with Flowmaster mufflers. The underbody reflects the 2013 body-off restoration with a clean and finished appearance.

The cabin is outfitted with front bucket seats and a rear bench trimmed in black vinyl with color-coordinated carpets and Chevelle-branded floor mats. Modern conveniences include air conditioning, a Hurst shifter, a Carmount phone mount, and a Kenwood Bluetooth receiver linked to aftermarket speakers. A four-spoke steering wheel fronts a column-mounted AutoMeter tachometer and a Dakota Digital instrument cluster that retains a factory appearance. Approximately 3,000 miles are shown on the odometer, though total chassis mileage is unknown.

How do this work if you win the bet do you get the car shipped to you or do you pay it to get shipped or do you have to pick up the vehicle

will Seller May 21, 1:04 pm PDT

I can arrange with you to pick the car up, or you would pay to have it shipped to you.

JeremyRestomods Staff May 21, 1:06 pm PDT

Hey @Chano57 good question. When the auction ends, if you are the winning bidder and reserve has been met, you and the seller will be connected to work out arranging getting the car. If you are close, I'm sure the seller would be happy to setup pick-up in person or shipping companies are available.
