I have a Texas car that is for the most part rust free. It has had floor board work and what little rust was on it was repaired right. It is a non-Malibu, non-SS but it is a straight 2 dr HT with the original black vinyl top. Original 350 engine untouched except for a 72 intake and 4 bbl from an elCamino. I was originally an auto but is currently set up for stick. The trans with it is an original 3 speed "72" but not from the same Chevelle. It runs perfect and has a nice interior. Headliner is great as well as the dash. I have new carpet for it. The interior is currently out of the car so careful inspection can be made as to its condition. I have a lot of new OEM trim pieces. It has factory AC. It is a package deal. It has 121K original and has been in a garage for 13 years. Will be gone till the 14th of June and will answer e-mails then. Make me an offer.

I have a 1970 Chevelle Malibu that is in the shop being painted. I am installing a SS hood and replacing the hinges and springs at the same time. My problem is I have been told so many different color combinations for the hinge and spring I do not know what they should be. Does anyone out there know the correct color combination? Even though this will not be the original hood I still would like to have everything painted correctly. This question I think I already know the answer, but will ask. On the 1970 Chevelle Malibu there is chrome or stainless steel moldings that run from the front of the fender along the edge to the drip rail of the rear window. Are these available either original equipment or reproduction new? The ones on the car are not in too bad of condition, but do have a couple of small dents and quite a bit of scratching so I would like to replace them.

Hey Jimmy, from the sounds from you, i wouldn't worry about the repairs do them these cars are a good investment, over time they only go up in value, seems like realestate allmost lol, plus it's a good hobby (it can get expensive though) but all depends on how you go about restoring it, meaning, you can go to yard sales swapmeets things of that nature or you can get catalogs and get brand new. Now as for your vin# it reads as follows 1= chevrolet D= Malibu,custom Elcamino, Concours=wagon. (obviousley it's a malibu) 37= 2 door sportcoupe F= 307 2barrel carb V8 130 horsepower (so much for the 350) 2= 1972 B= Baltimore MD (where it was built) the rest of the numbers are production numbers in sequence. hope this helped you in your decision.

I bought the car from a parking garage that had a lein on the car that the original owner abandoned there . so I don't know much about the cars history. What I do know is that the car needs both 1/4's( rotted out above the tail lights both sides) a driver side door and some work on the roof, it looks like somebody was standing/jumping on it because it's dented and slightly creased above the back window.The rest of the car looks pretty solid ?.I'm pretty sure it's repairable . any thoughts ? Hopefully good ones, because I've been going through the" Special Interest Vehicles" parts section making a tentative wish list.i.e..cowl hood, 454,Muncie 4spd,disc brake conversion,373 posi. am I a dreamer or does this sound realistic.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Putting baby to bed
But i beleive that most times you put gasoline in the tank your getting from a tank that is the ground and with the gas you get some water as well so your never getting all the water out but again thats where the drygas comes in to play it's part. Ken - Original Message - From: "John Nasta" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "The Chevelle Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 2004 2:20 PM Subject: RE: [Chevelle-list] Putting baby to bed It is, but condensation can get in there any time the tank is not full. It's the same for the idea behind running until your mufflers are hot. Anyway, I've never had any trouble leaving the tank empty, but I have had trouble with cars sitting longer than expected. By the time I sold my Olds, it was on the dregs of some gas that was a year old (though it still ran fine). I advised the buyer to put some fresh stuff in there right away, which he sort of had to do anyway. My El Camino was also laid up for something like 3 or 4 years (from the time I bought it) before I finally got it on the road. I wouldn't have wanted a full tank of gas to get that old. So, I think there are times when empty is better, but if you are absolutely sure that you'll be burning off that gas in 5 or 6 months a full tank is probably better. John Nasta -Original Message- The reason for filling the tank, I thought, was to keep the condensation from forming on the upper portions of the tank, hence keeping the inside of the tank from rusting.
Re: [Chevelle-list] Putting baby to bed
Well were talking only 5 months, i can't beleive that the full tank of gas will go bad in 5 moths of sitting, and the condensation, well ya will get a little but thats why we put the "dry gas" in there, to avoid a lot of condensation, this info does not come from me alone but from the experts up in Canada that have much colder and longer winters then i do in massachusetts.The info comes from the car club in Canada that i am a member of, it is called Canadian Classics Chevelle and Beaumonts. I'm sure some on the list knows of them.

I have always gone with the latter and have not had any problems as a result. I agree that it's a good idea to start it about once a month if you can. Just buy 50 cents worth of gas, prime the carb with a little and put the rest in the tank. That way the gas in the tank never gets really old.
Re: [Chevelle-list] Putting baby to bed
Hello, well people will agree and people won't agree, but i have never had a problem with my 72, in the 6 years of newengland hardship weather, it has a holley 750, i fill tank like you said, put a bottle of dry gas in her, go for a 5 mile drive one way, course 5 mile drive back, put it in storage, put car cover over and return in march to take her out, the only thing i need to do sometimes is bring a little can of starting fluid and spray the card and pump the crap out of it and it fires right up, also u could disconnect the battery if you choose, i think if you start it up every so often the condensation that is in the tank will of course go through exhaust and the water will sit in there and start rusting, thats why i take it for a good run first and leave it alone till march.

Now car sits for the winter, hoping for a few stray warm days to start her up once in a while. Any ideas on keeping the carb from drying out?

J.D. Stewart Merry Christmas guys !There is a "LS6 Chevelle" listed on ebay thats for sale in Florida. My memory is fading, but didn't GM sell LS6's without any power options (other that the manditory disc brakes) such as air and power steering? Or were there LS6's that came with air. I thought that the air option was only availible on LS5's and down.Curious minds (or is that a fading mind) are wondering. ThanksBill CHello all, To my knowledge, LS6 Chevelle's never came with AC however power disc brakes did come with them. Power Steering wasa an option but few had it. My 70 Chevelle is a factory SS LS6 car with Power Disc Brakes and an AM radio, no PS, no AC. At the speed it can make who needs AC anyway. LOL Ken 70 Chevelle SS LS6

Do i have to use a muncie shifter and attach it in to the crossmember and go through the binding or is there another alternative? And does someone make an after market one to represent the Muncie shifter? In the case that i have to use the Muncie? Thanks Again Peoples KenD 72 HeavyChevyChevelle
Re: [Chevelle-List] 4 speed shifters
