Why we picked it

Why we picked it: this 1967 Malibu sport coupe carries a 454 with a TH400 automatic, Hooker headers, Pypes dual exhaust, power steering, drilled and slotted front discs and an aluminum radiator. It has a clean South Carolina title and the seller lists only general cosmetic wear.

At $15,000 with 11 days left, the bid is far below what modified Malibus have brought this year. Auction bids usually climb in the last days, so set a firm limit. Reserve status is not stated.

The value check

When we found it, the bid was $19,750. Comparable cars in the same condition have sold for $28,000–$44,000, so the middle of the market is about $36,000. That put this car 45% under.

Modified Malibu sport coupes sold for $28,000 (GAA, Jul 2026) to $44,000 (Mecum, Aug 2026). The $15,000 bid is about 58% under that midpoint with 11 days left.

Where the numbers come from:

What to check

  • The trim tag shows it was Butternut Yellow with a Powerglide; it is repainted blue and the drivetrain is not original
  • No rust notes in the listing: check rear frame rails, trunk pan, lower quarters, and around the rear window and cowl
  • Mileage is TMU (true mileage unknown)
  • Adjustable rear air shocks and lowered suspension may hide tired springs; inspect the rear control arm bushings
  • Same Williston, SC seller as the 1965 Chevelle on Hagerty this week

Making it drive like new

Replace the air shocks with proper coil springs and good shocks, add tubular control arms and a rear sway bar, and consider a 4L80E overdrive for highway cruising. A dual-circuit master cylinder and larger front brakes suit the 454.

7 builders make a complete chassis for the 1964–67 Chevelle, GTO & GM A-body. Compare them side by side, along with what it takes to stiffen the factory frame.

How it ended

It sold for $36,113 on Nov 4, 2026, against a market value of about $36,000 when we found it.
