- Steve Strope and his team at Pure Vision Design create some of the coolest builds around but this might be the most subtle, beautiful build I've ever seen from them. Simple, stunning with a rumbling big block and of course manual transmission so sit back and enjoy the ride...

Love any video with Steve Strope, not only does he make amazing cars but the dude is hilarious.
hes unique for sure.....
Steve's transformation into Vince Neil is pretty cool
Thought the hair flips was more Farrah😂
@@markhale8084Farah Fawcett, right?
Dude same! I love it! 😂
wtf?
@@Borderline5440 Yeah her even though Both have tits. lol
When I think of how I would build my dream car, this is what I see. Insanely clean, elegant and tasteful modifications, perfect colors, and brilliant drivetrain and mechanicals. Good lord, this is beautiful.
If I had something that nice, I'd be afraid to drive it. Definitely NOT something I would drive how I drive the stuff I build, like my 65 GTO. It was intended to be a daily driver, this Malibu could be that, but parking lots would be nightmares.
@@SweatyFatGuy Handicap placard...there now theres no excuse.
“How come no filters?!
Because you’re filming and it looks better like this”
Love that honesty
3:38
Maybe why she was surging
Steve’s hilarious! And always honest no matter what
Yeah, I love how he hooked this one up. The paint job, the interior, the seats, the sound of that classic OG big block, not too loud. Just a sweet Malibu. An example of a perfect classic Chevy. Just absolutely gorgeous! 👍
Totally agree
How could you NOT like this car???? This thing is awesome! This is close to the "perfect" hot rod! What a awesome car!
Steve is such an automotive rockstar! Builds some amazing classic hotrods…even if they are just simple street driving rides.
he reminds me of meatloaf! great build's
Check out his old school bmx collection on his site.
Such a wonderful car. It's one that you can drive 1000 miles and be comfortable. Yet it can also pull like a train and sound like thunder when need be without fuss. I do enjoy these subtle builds very much.
Darn it, I grew up seeing this era of cars. Now I want to go back in time so I can build up more cars. And my dad went to Van Nuys high.....in 1940.
👍PERFECT. Love the GM Turquoises
I was lucky enough to grow up with a dad that had dozens of old classics and hotrods. A few cars stood out and a 67 Malibu was a body that was top 5 for sure .
What a great car.
Please keep making more videos with Steve Strope!!! Funny guy and his builds are amazing!!! It never gets old!!!👍 0:48
Ahhh....Yes that car designer and his work I can never get enough of .......great content....
Beautiful car, and the stance is perfect. Good road camera work.
Thanks and totally agree. He nailed this whole build. So simple and clean
Saw the thumbnail and fell in love instantly! 💙💙💙
I'd be more satisfied making a purchase like this from a shop that says there will be a few shakedown kinks to work out vs someone saying it's gonna be perfect right away. Do it right the 1st time for sure. The builder, I'm sure, communicates that to the buyer before a deal is even made to build. Quality takes time.
Shakedown is always the final 10%
Search a beautiful car Steve is a top notch builder love how the chevelle is not over built just clean and able to just get out and cruise . An Shawn you are so right about shaking down small problems in the first couple hundred miles. I've built a 72 chevy Cheyenne c10 with a big block 454 bord 30 over with 10.5 compression full roller motor. 400 rebuilt trans with shift kit fresh 12 bolt posi 373 rear the truck is painted 🎨 red and white shortbed with all the factory trim and the paint is stunning that's the first thing people say who painted it it's got 20 inch wheels American racing salt flats nitto tires all new suspension with sway bars .it's got the deluxe interior black that is stunning as well I've got 658 miles on it and still doing some tinkering small shit like I had a brand new 850 cfm holley on it that I couldn't get to work right so I bought another one and as always some squeaks to fix and with headers and dual exhaust with Flowmasters it sounds incredible I watch and wait Patiently for your next video it's great that you actually go over the build because that gives me ideas once again bro thanks👍⛽️🛻
Thanks for the comment. Always shakedown…the final 10% imo is highly important and often times overlooked
Steve Strope is the man!!! One of my all time favorite builders who have allwas had taste and vision to build something different with taste ! Absolute spot on!!!
Got a killer early BMX collection on his site, too.
The whole package color. Stance. Motor. Etc. So sweet. My kinda car
Yeah. Love the simplicity and beauty of this build
I met Steve at sema and he was awesome. This man is a legend. His vehicles are so perfect.
Total legend and such a cool guy!
Have this car on again down the road. Like to hear it open up a bit. What an iconic sound
I’d like to hear that too…WOT!
Absolutely beautiful.....the way they should be done. Love Webers.....ran 'em on a Chevy also......fantastic carbs.
Such a cool simple build. Minor shakedown and it’s a daily driver
Gorgeous car... I love the '66 - '67 Chevelle body style.
Awesomeness! A nice Malibu non SS clone that catches the 70's muscle car vibe with modernized drive line and mods to make it ride nice while keeping the look I love!
What a car… that is what I hope we get more of in the future with classic restorations / modifications
Beautiful ride for sure. I try showing multiple approaches to custom builds in the channel
you want the best you got the best ,say hello to Steve Strope ,inspirational,thankyou Sean for having the most amazing vision maker on your channel ,thankyou ,much love respect from Australia
This is my very favorite Year , Model , & Color of all Chevy's . What a dreamy ride !
The color and the fact its not an SS is the coolest part to me. Beautiful workmanship.
Color is amazing!! Cannot stand the overdone fake SS thing...my 67 El had those badges all over it back in the 90s when I bought it. Ugh..
Perfection right here! Steve has done a fantastic job on this Chevelle and very much to my liking, in my eyes this is perfect in every way a shame more builders don’t go down his path also love the sedate way Steve drove, showing as he said respect for this lovely car👌
Thank You Shawn for another great video. Little bit short, but always make my Saturday lunch better.
I have a 67 chevelle BBC Malbu building to be a Driver THANK YOU FOR THE MOTIVATION . STUNNING CAR💪
Such a clean car. 17 in wheels were the rage back in the day! Still looks right today.
Timeless look on this build. It’ll never age
@@AutotopiaLA
Sometimes it's the small changes that are all that is needed.
Steve and his team do great work, absolutely love this one.
They sure do! Love Steve and Pure Visions builds
Becoming acquainted with some of these Owners / Builders on this channel is just as intriguing as the builds themselves.
Thanks for saying that. Part of our intent in making them
the itbs made me firm in the neither regions........what an awesome ride no goofiness,no ugly rims,no mini tubbing,no ls,no blackout just a sweet,perfect ride
Perfect cruiser, I could drive this car all day.
Me too!
There's beauty in simplicity🏆🏆🏆
Very clean and super nice Malibu 👍👍🤤😎
What a great car. And having Strope on camera is always a treat 😅
A stunning piece of art, so tasteful, so elegant, so right. I just don't have the words.
What a Great Build! For most Southern Californians this is THE CAR they want to get into at 10pm or 4am and drive to Vegas in. It looks extremely comfortable for 4 adults and will do 90+ mph all day.
This is a FANTASTIC ERA for Motorsport. Literally, the person with the coin and/or the skill set can build a Classic Muscle Car with a traditional engine config or a modern ECU Controlled Powerplant, a JDM, a stock 5.o, SS or SRT new off the lot or with a few years in then. They can all offer great performance, reliability, looks and safety. There's almost infinite wheels, brakes, intakes/exhausts, tunes, suspension, multimedia entertainment, refrigerators etc etc. Let's enjoy all the cars for what they are 👍😁👍
One of the most beautiful cars from the USA...that rear end and those tail lights...perfection.
67 Chevelle my choice any day of the week...Great Video once again...much love from the UK.
Agreed and the styling choices on this one are simply beautiful
Timeless classic that looks great and sounds amazing 👍🏾👊🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bro!
So good to see Steve!
That guy has more brains the any normal genius!
See you at SEMA! Hopefully Steve too
One of the great car designers and builders. True artist
No question about it
Whenever I see a Steve Strope video I go straight to it- he's such a looper. You two seem to get on great, it makes a difference. And that is true- anyone who says there isn't a shakedown period is lying.
Steve and I have become close friends the past 10 years. Glad to know him and it’s always a joy hanging out with him
Amen to this!! Most dont know about it...they buy an all new looking resto and expect it to be OEM perfect.
This car is a bonafide gangsta cleverly disguised as a beautiful creampuff.
fkn love this comment ,outstanding Cyber
@@patrickeast6926 I was born in '65 and we defined a _creampuff_ as a vehicle that was pristine inside and out, a sharp looking car. I used the term _gangsta_ to describe the power and shit-n-git capabilities of this classic. To each their own.
Perfect description and Steve would agree all the way. Such a nice car
@@AutotopiaLA, thank you, Brother. Enjoy your weekend.
This car is clean ... Theres no other word to describ it... Damnn...
Yep. Simple and clean
Strope looks wild with long hair. The man is definitely a living legend
He’s such a badass and that hair is too much! Love Steve
Steve is so talented that he would be very successful as a comedian and is a mind melting car builder.
Absolutely freakin gorgeous perfection
steves shop does some bad ass builds that car is perfect
Nice clean build! Big block and Flowmasters👌🏼
I always love it when they film builds like this where it’s just a well executed cruiser and much more realistic for this audience. Amazing!
We try mixing it up but this car is pure beauty for me
Man !! Simplicity at its finest !!! Stunning.
Exactly. Nothing that will date itself
Just awsome. Thank you Steve for not putting SS emblems on your Malibu. Tired of clones, and tributes. It is what it is modified 👍👍
My high school friend had a 66 Chevelle Malibu, would listen to thrice and drive to Ace Hardware to build the weekend beer bong for the party that we were headed too! 🤘. Of course he drove it balls to the wall being young punks like we were.😂
Wish his show was back on TV. Great ride
I do too
If you could please get Steve to sing 'Paradise by the dashboard light', then my vision of him as the Meatloaf of motorama would be complete?!
The Meatloaf comments are killing me 😂😂
What a nice car. My Dad had a 66 sedan and I loved that car. Nice return to the future moment.
Ahhh door handles! Love that sound
Same for me!
Elegant is the perfect one word description for this one!
Exactly right
That was fun. Pretty day there, crisp.
Very understated & tastefully built Mailbu!
Steve Thorpe is honest man & 1 of the best In business
Hey I love the cars of the 60's and early 70's and 50's also, this Malibu is great.❤
Great ride. He can really build feat rides.
Love it. There are so many people wanting to change a Malibu into a Chevelle. It’s refreshing. I love Steve’s work.
It's a 67 Chevelle Malibu 136 VIN
A Chevelle Super Sport is a 138 VIN
They both are Chevelle
I have both a 66 Chevelle Super Sport
and a 66 Chevelle Malibu
The point is Malibu was purposely named. It’s not an SS. For example Pontiac Lemans is not a GTO, but people will rebadge the Lemans as a GTO. If have a Pontiac Formula not a TA. I can change it to look like a TA, but it’s a Formula. Be proud of what you got.
OK, I'm an old guy from Texas.Let's get this out of the ... I think for 15, ish years on and off. I've been watching Steve Strope and his magical shop turnout Insane build. But damn I love this car... 😅😅😅😅
I saw this car and SEMA a couple of years ago and it is soooo cool up close. Love the build Steve!
I've seen a lot of beautiful cars on your channel but this one is my favorite... Being someone who grew up in the 70s this is my idea of a car.
The Spirit of America.
love this car, and your channel gets better every year
I do too and thank you! The team is pushing harder than ever
The stuff Dreams are made of right here . Sweet ride .
I totally agree with everything Steve said about keeping it Malibu and not turning it into a SS, that was Exactly the right way to go. What a beautiful car.
Apparently the Chevelle listened to you and she feels super mellow too . There are days like that.
It was a good day and car for mellow
So many great options for sexy intakes and fueling, it's interesting that they went with the webers.
Car looks great.
the webers are pure eye candy and a joy to see
I agree. Tuned right they’re great but seems like an ongoing issue with them
@@trillrifaxegrindor4411 agreed but there are very similar stacks that are electronic fuel injection that are available these days. I guess there's nothing like authentic webers though.
Strope showed up lookin like Vince Neil !🤘🏼👍🏼😁
Steve is an artist and that is an understatement. Iove every single car he has done.
Webers on a big block: badass!
Love the sound of them Flowmasters.
I personally believe Steve is the best automotive designer. He’s an absolute beast and makes the best cars I’ve ever seen
Great interior and overall great build. Perfect for cruising. Nice episode. Greetings
Perfect cruiser and I’d imagine if you put your foot in it you’ll get plenty of GO!
Steve rockin' his '80s hair band roadie mane.
All the way 🤘
This is a beautiful car ❤ clean, simple build. It’s a cut above
Chevelles are one of my dream cars and I love the color but I’ve always wanted one in black or midnight grey
Love the exhaust note on this one.
I wish I could see more cars done with this much class.......that interior is dynamite.....
This is a beautiful car, i love it, it’s overwhelming.
That car is so tasefully done, the wheels are 'the right size' too. 🙂
Nice color
When I was a teen I had a friend that had a 67 with a 396 and 4 speed. I watched him nail it to 60 mph in 1st gear with 3.55 gears. He never lost a race. He did eventually throw a rod.
put those camera guys to work, we want to see more of the underneath lol! Great vid man, that interior is just perfect. Love that it's still a Malibu.
Typically we get build progress pics to show undersides but Steve didn’t have any lol
This is a typical looking street machine we would see everyday 10xs a day in the late 60s and 70s.
Not really bro. I get what you mean but this is still easily a several hundred thousand dollar build…
@@sidefx996 I said typical looking.
but its so much more under the skin.......modern brakes,modern but nostaligic instrumentation,600+ horsepower,tremec 5 speed,upgraded suspension,better stance etc at a far glance it looks like a 70s street machine and i also grew up in that era and loved them
@@matrox I understand. I always say less is more with the look on these cars (I much prefer "period" type mods over the fast & furious restomod thing. I feel too many just become money pits and look completely overcooked.
@@sidefx996 Yep
Simplistic beauty
DassDope! Thank you thank you thank you!
Beautiful.
The webbers probably won’t like traffic driving when the bay is full of hot air though .
Beautiful car, love that color!
Awesome that they left all the Malibu trim and emblems
Very nice, love that color!
Love this build.
I know I'm biased having been the owner of two '67 Malibus, both factory gold on gold, one hard top, one convertible.
This car is a perfect build for driveable street car that is definitely going to turn a lot of heads.
I love seeing '67s on the road. I wish I still had mine. But, things in life happen and toys need to be sold so that you can take care of business.
