1970 Chevrolet Malibu Chevelle. 91,xxx ORIGINAL MILES. Starts, runs, and drives like a brand new car...and NO I am not exaggerating. Almost EVERYTHING works as it should from the factory. All exterior lights, interior lights, original door buzzer(when key is in ignition), original gauges, dummy lights, etc...Even the original A/C blows ICE COLD!! The ONLY thing that I have found that does not work is the original clock in the dash and original radio...however I would bet that it is only a blow fuse or something. I recently took this car in on trade. I was told this is a complete matching number and rare 70' Chevelle. The only thing that appears to not be original is the wheels/tires and exhaust. Even the interior is as close to MINT and original as you will probably find. I have cruised it a few hundred miles around town and on the interstate with the cold A/C blowing. My wife and daughter love cruising it with me, but we could use the money out of it. I will describe in detail everything that I know about this car, but YOU might know more about this vehicle by looking at the pics than we do..so please look at ALL pictures and videos. I have provided 150+ detailed pictures along with video clips. I have the clean and clear title in hand and ready for a new owner. I believe the reserve price LOW, so put your bid in and bid to buy!! Or of course make a SERIOUS offer. Hopefully with the hours I have invested in taking pictures and making this auction I have answered all questions, but if not, feel free to call: 513-464-TEN 20. Please read everything and view all of the pics/videos prior to calling.
BODY
The original paint looks to either have been touched up or maybe totally repainted 1 time. All of the body lines in between each panel has perfect 1970 factory gaps and looks to have never been taken apart. The hood, both doors, and the trunk open and close with that tight clicking sound that you would expect from an original and solid 70' Chevelle. The underside of both door lips are amazingly clean and not rusty! All of the glass appears to be original and scratch/crack free. When looking down the sides and top of the panels, they look razor straight..however the passenger fender has a dent and the passenger door has a small line dent right below the door handle. Both fenders have rust issues right behind the front wheels. And both quarter panels are starting to rust a little too. All of the frame and floorpans underneath this car appear to be original and extremely SOLID. The only place undercarriage place that I found to have rust is the trunk pan. The trunk pan is solid and even has some of its deteriating 1970 trunk mat still in place, but it is starting to rot/rust as seen in the "interior" category pictures below. Both original chrome bumpers are "driver quality", but not perfect as seen in the pics. I would love to restore it myself and keep it, but like I said I could use the money out of it now. I would personally keep it as original as I could...I would put new fenders on it, do a little bit of bodywork, and repaint it the same factory color...and I would put a new vinyl top and a set of 18" wheels or something on it. I will let the pictures and videos do most of the talking about the body. Cosmetically, it is very solid for being original, but could use restored if someone wanted to restore it!!
ENGINE & DRIVETRANE
This 70' has its original drivetrane. It has a V8-350 mated to an automatic transmission. The engine starts right up everytime and runs amazing. It is very quiet with no exhaust leaks. It looks to have newer dual flowmaster exhaust. All of the sound exits the rear of the car. This Chevelle has power steering and power brakes that works excellent and makes it a pleasure to cruise. The transmission shifts into every single gear perfect. The brakes stop this car hard and straight. It has dual exhaust and there is no exhaust leaks. All of the V8 sound exits the rear.The suspension is surprisingly very comfortable and is an EXTREMELY smooth ride when hitting bumps. The power steering makes the car very easy to drive. You can drive it with 1 finger on the wheel. The steering feels VERY tight and newer which is surprising for being so old. This car runs, shifts, feels, drives, and sounds ALOT better than it currently looks. I do not have the original wheels, what you see is what you get. The rear tires rub a little when driving hitting bumps if you YOU or your passenger weigh more than 250lbs or so...I am exactly 200lbs and with my wife and daughter with me, they almost NEVER rub. It starts right up, idles and revs flawlessly. It cruises down the road amazingly and is an absolute blast to drive!! The only thing I can nitpick about the drivetrane, is that the belt squeeks when it is first started up and cold...but only squeeks one time and stops. There is no noticable leaks, and this car does not mark its spot when parked. All of the fluids(anifreeze, oil, tranny etc..) look good and clean. The only thing you need to worry about when cruising this car, is the attention that it draws.....I would personally feel very comfortable driving this cross country right now.
INTERIOR
The interior is jawdropping...It is like a time machine. The carpet, door panels, seats, dash, and headliner is probably as close to MINT as you will probably find on a 44YR old vehicle. The original door buzzer(when key is in igntion) works! The dome light comes on when opening either door. The windshield wipers work great. The original heater & A/C controls work great and the original A/C blows ice cold which is unbelievable. All of the original lights in the dash and gauge cluster work...even the "bright" lights light comes on when turning them on. The original speedometer works and seems to be pretty accurate! All 4 windows roll up and down smoothly. The ONLY 2 things that I have found that does not work is the original clock in the gauge cluster and the radio, however I would bet that it is probably just a fuse or something. The rear package tray(above/behind the rear seat) has been sun baked over the years and needs replaced. The trunk has a spare wheel and original jack/equipment still intact. I have provided A LOT of detailed pictures below. Keep scrolling through all of the pictures and please view them all. I know there is an overwhelming amount of them, but I want to showcase how cool this 1970 SURVIVOR Chevelle is...

Automotive News editor Nick Bunkley tweeted on October 1 that according to AutoNews data, General Motors "has been the largest seller of vehicles in the U.S. every year since passing Ford in 1931." With automakers having turned in light car and truck sales data for the first three quarters of 2021, GM's 90-year-run might not reach 91. According to AN figures, Toyota was 80,401 vehicles ahead when the October workday started. Worse, GM is so far behind its historic pace that it might only sell enough light vehicles in the U.S. to match its numbers from 1958. Meanwhile, the New York Times put a few more salient numbers to the pain GM and Toyota are enduring alongside the the rest of the industry. GM sold 33% fewer cars in Q3 2021 than it did in Q3 2019 during the dark days of the pandemic, 446,997 units this year as opposed to 665,192 last year. GM's Q3 2020 was only down 13% on Q3 2019. Over at Toyota, the bottom line showed a 1% gain in Q3 2021 compared to 2020, with 566,005 units moved off dealer lots. The finer numbers show two steps forward and one step back, though; Toyota's September sales were down 22% compared to last year. GM remains optimistic about what's ahead, GM's president of North American operations telling the NYT, "We look forward to a more stable operating environment through the fall." We'd like to see that happen, but we don't know how it happens. The chip shortage said to have been the inciting incident for the current woes isn't over, and not only can no one agree when it will be over, the automakers, chip producers, and U.S. government still can't get on the same page about who needs what and when. Looking away from that for a second shows articles about "No End In Sight" for supply chain disruptions in early September, before China had to start working through power supply constraints, global supply chain workers started warning of a "system collapse," and roughly 500,000 containers sat waiting to be unloaded at Southern California ports — a record number seemingly broken every week. And back to chips, we're told just a few days ago the chip shortage is "worse than we thought."  For now, the NYT wrote that GM dealer inventory is down 40% from June to roughly 129,000 vehicles, and down 84% from the days when dealers would cumulatively keep about 800,000 light vehicles in stock. However, GM just announced it would have almost all of its U.S. facilities back online next week, although some would run at partial capacity.
It still seems way too early to even starting thinking about the 2016 presidential election, but candidates are already throwing their hats in the ring. Among the officially announced hopefuls so far is former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. To kick off her run for office, she recently embarked on a long-distance road trip from her home in New York to the campaign battleground of Iowa. Rather than a limo, she was driven there in a conversion van (pictured above) that Clinton named Scooby after Hanna-Barbera's famous, mystery-solving dog. According to Yahoo Autos, the vehicle itself is a Chevrolet Express that has been customized by the Explorer Van Company, and Time says that it's also armored. Clinton isn't behind the wheel, though. All those years in public office mean that the Secret Service does the driving. Of course, the vehicle in Scooby Doo was named the Mystery Machine, and Scooby was mostly brown, not black. To explain the somewhat odd naming, Clinton traveled around in a brown van during her 2000 Senate campaign in New York, and it earned the nickname Scooby, according to Time. Apparently, the moniker has stuck for her latest ride. If the start of the Clinton campaign seems early, she isn't the first White House hopeful to arrive in Iowa this year. A bunch of possible Republican candidates already met at summits in the state at least twice to gain favor ahead of the caucus there. No word on what they were driving...
Chevrolet engineers have more plans for the SS, but official approval stands between their wishes and our driving commands. After getting the no-cost option for a six-speed manual last year, Motor Trend reports that some company boffins want to throw the Camaro's track-focused 1LE package at it. On the Camaro that means the Performance Ride and Handling suspension, front and rear stabilizer bars, and 20-inch wheels all around concerning the road-focused bits. MT says that a 1LE on the SS would shed the staggered tires for one size all around, and get new dampers and a new suspension tune. It wouldn't turn the SS into a Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat, but the SS could do even more with its 415 horsepower and 415 pound-feet, hopefully without sacrificing too much of its plush road comfort in the process. It's said that a production example could be done in less than six months, but it sounds like the approval process will take longer.
