'66 Malibu N/SA

Yes, it has the 4.0, and with the weight distributing hitch it's very stable at any speed. Once on the way back from Bakersfield, after cruising smoothly at 70+ MPH I stopped for gas, and when I got out the wind nearly blew me over because I had no idea it was windy. I was completely unprepared for it.

Without that hitch it's almost undrivable though.

It'll accelerate (a little) up a 6% grade with my Camaro on the back, which is a little heavier than the Chevelle.

But I've logged a lot of miles going up hills with the pedal on the floor, and the storage space is very limited. Not to mention space inside the cab. So I plan to upgrade to an F-150, probably within the next couple of months.
