The 1970 model year witnessed several big changes on the Chevelle front, and the most notable was probably the demise of the 300 and the 300 Deluxe versions.
The Malibu was now rocking solo until later in the model year when Chevrolet launched new base Chevelles to expand the lineup with four-door sedans and two-door hardtops.
The engine lineup also received a refresh, and the base six-cylinder engine now generated 155 horsepower thanks to an increase in displacement from 230ci to 250ci.
The Malibu in these photos was also born in 1970 with a four-door setup, but as you can tell from the pictures, someone attempted to breathe new life into the vehicle with later Chevelle parts.
The front clip comes from a 1971 Chevelle alongside a new fiberglass hood, but as you can tell from the pics, it's not installed but only resting in place. The Malibu is a massive project, and while it might look frightening at first, it's definitely worth checking out closer.
The bigger challenge is undoubtedly to restore it to factory specifications, as the car is no longer entirely original. However, the good news is that it's not missing much, despite the sad sight you might discover when you first check out the photos.
eBay seller Iron Wolf Motorsports says the car has everything available, including the drivetrain and the interior. Unfortunately, that's all the information we get, so it's impossible to tell what happens under the hood today. You should find a good mechanic and have the engine inspected, but it's safe to assume that it'll need more work. I hope we got more specifics, as the engine displacement would make a huge difference for someone who wants to bring the Malibu back to the road.
Eventually, this car doesn't seem aimed at the faint of heart, as it's a massive project requiring work in all key areas. Everything might be there, but it's definitely not in perfect shape, so the best way to tell how much work this car requires is a complete verification in person. The engine isn't running, but fingers crossed that it at least turns over by hand.
The selling price is no surprise. Such a Chevelle can't be expensive, especially considering how much work it requires, so the owner configured the fight to begin at $1,000. This means you can get the Malibu for new iPhone money, but as anyone anticipated, the rough shape scared away most interested buyers and the car failed to find a new home. Four people added the car to their watchlists, but it looks like nobody decided to submit a bid eventually.
The Malibu might get relisted shortly, and you can find it parked in Fuquay Varina, North Carolina.
