70 300 Deluxe 400 4 SPD

The initial car this started with, and the people involved with it. FYI , the car is alive well,…and has been restored to its former glory. I passed on an opportunity to buy it back in 2006 , just as the restoration was going to be very expensive. Needed a ton of work as shown in the pics. Randy sold it to a guy in Ontario, who restored the car, and then about 2 years ago sold it to another friend of mine , a car guy in western Canada.
Car looks great , I have some pics , but I’m not sure the owner wants them out there.
I will contact him and see if he either wants to chime in and join the chat, or is ok with me posting a pic or two.
Anyhow , the car has been restored

A Chevelle was the model you ordered. A trim level was added to a base car. You either ordered a base Chevelle or added HC, Malibu, or SS as trim levels. It is true HC was only built off a base Chevelle as it was a lower trim level than Malibu

Technically the base car was its own model, since it had its own series designation of 133 or 134 versus 135 or 136 for a Malibu. GM even noted it as a new "model" when they reintroduced the base model in March of 1970.

Quote from the ad: "Then, added two new lower priced models..."

Rainer, it was so nice to meet at Joe S’s, We talked about 1970 Chevelles for a while and now I see you have a Black 1969 L78/M22/KK??? how did we not talk about your 1969?

Can you share the details? Is there a thread about that car?

Hey Ryan -
Great to finally meet you as well. I have not really posted anything online about the 69 L78. I'll have to create a thread here at some point. I'll PM you a couple pics.

I agree, Rainer we spoke about your Chevelle (and how you found it) that Saturday night at MCACN at Joe's place - love to see more of it! Perhaps start a thread...

Yes, I may very well do that! Thanks!

Just one more bit of info to add on the base model 1970 Chevelle. Since it was not available in the US at the start of the model year, there was no information on it originally included in the 1970 Chevrolet Sales Album. When the Camaro and Corvette updates for the album were sent out to dealers some time after the first of the year in 1970, there was also a page included with information on the "New Chevelle series."
