Ok, so I have a 1970 Chevelle that I picked up from a buddy ages ago for a song. It has no engine or transmission, and lacks the original interiour and paint. It needs to be painted, and re-upholstered.
I've been trying to find out as much about the car as I can before I start working on it, and here's what I've found out. I'd love to know if it were an SS or not, but I've yet to find anything online that would tell me for sure whether it was an SS or not.
the VIN identifies it as a V8 Chevelle malibu sport coupe, and it was assembled in KC, Missouri.
From the Body Tag, it's a 1970 Chevelle Malibu Sport Coupe, body assembled in Van Nuys, CA. Medium Blue cloth interior, Astro Blue paint, white vinyl top. 3rd week, October 1970. no stripe is indicated on the Body Tag.
From looking at the car itself, it has a GM 10 bolt rear-end, front disc brakes, and a non SS rear bumper. The SS rear bumper differed in that it was Chrome with a black rubber center piece with the SS logo on the right side of it. My bumper is chrome the whole way. It also has the round guage instrument pod, instead of the standard sweep speedometer. The round guage pop was standard in the SS, but was also an option in the Malibu. The car came with an automatic transmission, as I have the factory floor shifter(My dad calls this a His/Hers shifter)
Anyone have any ideas, advice, or places to look for more answers?
