Stunning! 1964 Chevelle Malibu SS!

In episode 23 of ‘Cars, Shops & Collections’ we visit Brad the owner of a 1964 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu SS. One word describes Brad’s Chevelle… Stunning!
In 1964 there were 65,669 Chevelle Malibu SS produced…. About 20,000 are in existence today and Brad’s certainly has to be towards the top of that list!
BUT is it a TRUE Malibu SS? Brad and I break down the VIN for the answer… PLUS, Brad takes us for a wicked ride along!
Brad is a member of the Northwest Garage Car Club and they will be holding their First Annual Car Show on Saturday September 17, 2022 from 8a-2p at Los Prados Golf & Country Club, 5150 Los Prados Circle.

My Pops had one. Way dark blue. Automatic. Black interior. My favorite car.

[@deecee4644]

Very nice car! I'm more of an old school guy when it comes to old school cars so his interior would not be my dream but that's what makes this hobby so fun - we all have our own dreams when it comes to our fun rides.

[@CarsShopsAndCollections]

Agreed! Our own dreams and visions!

64 Chevelle Malibu. Love this car. Bought one used in 70. Silver, 6 cyl stick. 6 months later the Chevelle was sporting a modified 68 302 Z28 motor, Pontiac Muncie 4 speed, 66 GTO posi rear with 3.90 gears. Hooker headers with a complete exhaust out to the back side. Painted 68 Caddy Nottingham (emerald) green [green and silver interior] . Great street machine. Had the car for 10 years before I sold it. Selling it was a mistake ! Wish I still had it !

[@CarsShopsAndCollections]

Sounds Awesome! Thank you for watching!

[@crystaleast]

Bradford is my cousin. So glad he is being recognized for the awesome job he did-Crystal

[@bradfordsmith9555]

Thank you Chris!😎

[@ArthurDayneFirstOfHisName]

That color is AWESOME ! Dude is probably retired but he definitely could have a retro business if he desired. Great video bro, keep’em coming.

[@CarsShopsAndCollections]

Thanks man! I appreciate you watching!

[@bradfordsmith9555]

Hey thank you for the compliment. Retired yes. But thinking about it

[@choppys223]

Nice ride Brad! I own a ‘64 Malibu SS w/ Ride Tech coil over system. Your going to love it. What people don’t realize is you can’t build a 64 Chevelle out of a catalog like you can a 65 and up. Parts are hard to come by… like the center console, it’s not available repop. That’s one of the reasons I chose to do a 64. But the biggest reason is I love the square body. Very nice job Brad.

[@bradfordsmith9555]

Thank you

[@bradfordsmith9555]

Thank you so much!🙏

[@squarebodybuilder]

I have a 64 Malibu SS and am finding the same issues. Parts are hard to find.

[@Pragmatist1st]

I'm hunting for a project 64 Chevelle. Everything I've read says parts are relatively easy to find. Summit Racing, H&H, Ausley's, Ringbrothers, OPGI, and even Advance Auto Parts all stock parts for the '64.

[@garysgarage.2841]

He says what I say when people ask about the color of my 64. It was green originally but not this green.

[@OneCanisLupus]

Sweet ride! 😮

[@Chevyssboy138]

Coped my 65 chevelles color hahah mine was painted that color in 2009

[@CarsShopsAndCollections]

I love the color... and the way the sun hits it... PERFECTION!

[@bradfordsmith9555]

This car was painted this color in 2007

[@squarebodybuilder]

what's the wheel tire specs?

[@CarsShopsAndCollections]

Front 225 45 17 Rear 245 45 17

[@darrylhall2324]

Would been nice to hear the car without the music

[@CarsShopsAndCollections]

Yeah.... We drop the music now in our episodes. For some reason back then we kept it going. Amazing car and owner!

[@Chevyssboy138]

Why isn’t it a 138 😢

[@bradfordsmith9555]

The 64 ss is the only year not to carry a 138 vin. Look it up

[@brenthenschell2311]

What color is this car. Love it.

[@CarsShopsAndCollections]

We are not sure.... The owner has tried to find out and has had no luck. Anyone know?

[@bradfordsmith9555]

Bought it painted. But really worked the paint. Paint is about 12 years

[@bradfordsmith9555]

Although I’m trying to get it matched. It does show well. Thanks again

[@Pragmatist1st]

Unless you're keeping it original, SS doesn't mean much. If you're gonna restomod it anyway, just find a car with good body work.
