Interesting '70 2-tone, 4-speed Malibu
Definitely a pretty color combo on this one, and has at least the appearance of high-performance with that Muncie shifter poking out of the floor. Unfortunately it's our old friend underhood, the venerable 307, but it's refreshing to see something that hasn't been modified by a guy like me with the itch to go faster....

gotta be ultra rare. Never seen another and never thought a 307 2 bbl was even available with a 4 speed

70 Malibu...
I like it...simple and it looks clean and well cared for. As for the 4 speed...unless it was swapped out, this car would have a Saginaw wide ratio transmission from the factory. That was the tranny used for the low-performance motors. The Canadian paperwork mentions M-20...pretty sure that designation was for the wide ratio for both the Saginaw and Muncie applications.
A 307 2bbl. might come in handy the way gas prices are going these days. -wilma |
Sweet looking ride. Nice to see one that hasn't been cloned to an SS.

Very cool car, but it's hard to fathom ordering a 4 speed and not the 350 engine too. I'd have to drop an L48 in there and leave the 307 emblems, eh Tony...:wink: With a complete lack of underside pics, no way to see which trans it is, but you are correct that it would, in all probability, be a Saginaw. And, yes, the M20 designation was used interchangeably for either trans. No mention of it being a Muncie in the description or Canadian documentation and Saginaw didn't provide shifters for their trans, so the Muncie shifter would be correct as well. |
----Anybody notice the lump on the hood? Really nice Chevelle. Needs a stout 383 and trans switch if it is a Saginaw and it would be a sweet ride......Bill S

Wow, no, it blends in so well, I didn't notice it.
I DID notice the water drops on the left inner wheel house in the trunk from the rear window leaking. |
Relisted in the link below - but the lack of description makes me think it's a scam:

I'm with ya on the scam, appears to be the same pics as the originals you posted with some distorted from poor copy/paste. Seller is new too, with zero feedback... buyer beware. |
