Used Car of the Day: 1964 Chevrolet Malibu SS
We have a weird one for you today -- a 1964 Chevrolet Malibu SS that doesn't seem close to stock.
This one is a custom build with over 500 horsepower, headers, a 10:1 compression ratio, and an air-gap intake. It's 406 cubic inches and the car appears to be rust-free.
The transmission can hold up to 650 horsepower and the rear end has 3.70:1 gearing.
The chassis is restored and the interior is custom -- including the dashboard.
Our seller is in Minnesota and you can click here to see this car. The asking price is $47,000

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

- Lorenzo I had one of these, but an '83 with 75 horspower and the Hondamatic. It was so quick, I swapped it for a '85 Accord sedan (86 HP!) and a 5 speed. I was young, and didn't have all day to get on the freeway.
- Tassos Hey Tim, ask Murilee if you can use this 'project car' in your column and serve it to us, with a straight face, as your "Alleged Used Car of the Day"!
