71 Chevelle pics WIW???? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

It is a 350 w/ 270hp, automatic, buckets, console shift. I could not get hood open or get under car but it is an automatic. Do not know about ps,pb etc. The VIN is 136371R180522 any info would be appreciated. I did find the protectoplate in the golve box with owners manual. It should be matching numbers car as well. It has rust in typical areas as well as surface rust. The interior is molded and most of it is shot but the console shifter looks to be in ok shape and buckets could be rebuilt. Car was running when parked. Take a look and let me know if I should pic it up the price is $700. It also looks to be all original.

Just for the fact that you rarely see old cars sitting makes me think you could double your money. You wont get rich, but Im guessing theres some money to make there. A bath, a little cleaning & air in tires goes a long ways...

Blue85 · 05-30-2007, 09:26 PM

I'd give 500 for it, the malibu cars aren't worth as much as chevelles, and that ones pretty rough. Did you check the floors? Sitting right on the ground like that can ruin floors and in severe cases, frames, and it looks like its been there for a while.

**clay68c10** · 05-30-2007, 09:37 PM

I say go for it. If you look in the DFW classic car trader, stripped down shells of that bodystyle are going for over $2k. As long as the frame and floor are fairly solid it's worth it.

BB72CHEVKT · 05-30-2007, 09:37 PM

I have owned two other cars a 69 and 70 and still do not know the difference between a Malibu and Chevelle I thought it was a Malibu/Chevelle? What is the difference?

The Malibu was at first the top trim level of the Chevelle line, and it replaced the Chevelle name entirely after 1977

I'm really not sure why people have such distain for the malibu package, it was available with the SS option, the only down side was you couldn't get the "Heavy Chevy" option in 71/72 (Base model with special striping and apearance mods) but the 454 big-block was offered with the "SS" package and not available with the "Heavy Chevy" option, so what's the big deal...

My 72 had the Heavy Chevy package.

BB72CHEVKT · 05-31-2007, 10:16 AM

Well I pulled the trigger this morning. The guy is in no hurry to let me get it though because a couple of pallets of rock and other junk needs to be moved to pull it out with the tractor. Maybe I'll get it next week he has a fishing tournament this weekend. Ended up at $700.

Malibu?

I may be wrong, but i had the understanding that the "Heavy Chevy" package was only available on base model chevelles.

You learn something new everyday!!

Imacarguytoo · 05-31-2007, 11:09 PM

I would jump all over that for 700.00. Lots of good parts left on it.
My wife wants a 71-72 Chevelle. I was going to give 750.00 for one in a lot worse shape than that with no drivetrain. You done see them around much anymore so in parts or cleaned up and ready to drive someone will give some good cash for it.
Good Luck with it

cstm68 · 05-30-2007, 09:42 PM

a malibu had all the chrome. i guess you could call it the lx with a small block i think they were all autos but i could be wrong

**clay68c10** · 05-30-2007, 09:48 PM

I think all the Chevelles got a posi-trac.

1970bowtie · 05-30-2007, 09:59 PM

you could at least make 300 out of the deal, i would buy it. matter of fact, where is this thing hiding?

Alebrta, Canada I stopped by there after work

I'll tell you this much it is 15 minutes from Hideaway.

Bamm · 05-30-2007, 10:06 PM

I had 2 malibu chevelles. My first was a 72 and the second was a 71. I HATE the fact that I sold my 71. It was pretty clean. I also had a 69 SS. IIRC the malibu was still a chevelle just a different option package. Didn't come with cowl induction hood (some came with just a cowl hood, no induction), had different gauges than the Super Sport models. They also had a "Heavy Chevy" package. That was a malibu with a non functional cowl hood bench seat and auto on the column. I think I'm pretty much right on this, but correct me if I'm wrong............................Bamm!

panhandler62 · 05-30-2007, 10:12 PM

Even if it turns out to be too much pig to put back in the poke that is probably at least $1k of parts sitting there.

I'ld try to offer closer to $500 though since even an optomistic guess at a restore cost is going to involve more than a can of rubbing compound and a bottle of clorox.

nah, it'll buff out

c-mack · 05-30-2007, 10:16 PM

hey man, i'd just go for it and see how it turned out. if all else fails, you could get some of your money back if you sold it to 1970bowtie

Jim_PA · 05-30-2007, 10:22 PM

I would ask here: http://www.chevelles.com/forums/

You were reading my mind I was posting there as you were posting here. Thanks

killer71 · 05-30-2007, 10:31 PM

The car is worth $700. If possible you should buy it. If i had the chance I know I would get it!

1970bowtie · 05-30-2007, 10:31 PM

well if you decide to buy it and keep it theres a nice chevelle junkyard in troup, they also have a few 67-72 trucks out there

Thanks for the info. D & G in Tyler has some 67-72 stuff but the lack of English there pisses me off.
