71 Chevelle pics WIW????

[BB72CHEVKT]

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...

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.

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.

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?

[cstm68]

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]

I think all the Chevelles got a posi-trac.

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

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!

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.

[c-mack]

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

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

[killer71]

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

[1970bowtie]

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.

i miss my 71 chevelle malibu...more than i miss my ex wife...i would really check the floors out and the trunk to..these cars will rust out bad in those areas given half the chance, and with it sitting on the ground. also with the rust showing around the windshiels, that whole area is probably gone...id offer 300 or walk..now if it started up and ran, then i could see 500 easy..do what i did for floors, 3/4 inch treated plywood.....

Does a matching numbers original and protectoplate add value???

wheres is d&g. i no hablo mexicano but i might give it a try lol

Take I20 to HWY 14 go right. It is on your right after John Soules plant. I can speak some street spanish and that does not bother me at all. The attitude is what I can't handle. There was a guy in Tyler who did a thread
called tavenners junkyard thread or something like that? It has pictures of a few of the trucks. I was telling someone on here the other day they had a front painted bumper on a 67 and they told me a $100. I told them they were mucho loco. There is an old guy there on Sat who is cool. He told me $150
for an auto/tilt column I just haven't picked it up because of the 69 I bought last week and this possible 71 Malibu thing.

[1970bowtie]

aright,one last question, was the hood broken, or could you not figure out how to open it?
