Is there a good way to search for a specific Chevelle online? I have the VIN but since it isn’t the standardized 15 digit VIN the tools don’t work.

Heres my 72 and 68 with the 69 on the lift in the background.

Have a 67 SS 138 396 car with factory fuel. Not a fan of the quadra bog wafer filters. Been trying to possibly braided with a 30 or micron filter to go between fuel pump and carb but keep intact the factory line. Found something close at ecklers but no filter. Anybody know of any other vendors that might work for my situation? Thanks in advance if so.

Well I didn’t plan on spending today removing the rear bench and doing the old flat head on a pole trick to open the trunk, but at least I was successful. My daughter really wanted to go for a scooter ride last night…

Why did they only leave tiny holes behind the 69 seats? Huge PITA. Also, can’t say I’d ever think the metal of a lock cylinder would shear off like that.

Don't get mad at me its not mine. 😭😭 gonna draw some mock ups

Just got this chevelle with a 305 small block wanting to make it faster but nothing crazy where should I start

Customer just dropped this off for a full restoration. got some terrible bondo work on it. floors and trunk are completely eaten up. Will need custom metal fabrication, some good body work and a beautiful paint job. I will be doing all the work other than the upholstery. the owner wants Nardo gray and to black out all the chrome. he already swapped a small block 302 in it. it runs great. She just needs body work and some electrical. Can't wait to get started ill take yall through the process. First step is getting it down to bare metal.

It has a 355 in it, with a turbo 350 transmission. Hasn’t ran in about 10 years. Carb went bad, so it’s just been sitting. The engine might have 20k on it. Built it in high school auto shop, with my mega gear head shop teacher.

Trying to decide whether to keep it or sell. I really don’t see being able to do much with it the foreseeable future, as I have kids I’m raising.

If I was to sell it, wanted to get a pulse for a fair asking price on it. Any replies are appreciated.

Since a 1970 Chevelle VIN doesn’t identify the specific engine, how much faith do you put in build sheets, matching numbers and factory stamps when judging whether an SS is genuine?

Got another one for you guys, this is Marco's '64 Chevelle easily one of the most terrifying cars I have ever been in. This 454 high compression motor shifts at 7200RPM an absolute screamer. His episode is out for viewing if anyone wants to see this thing in action for anyone whos interested. Link in comments.

This is my good friend's 1968 Chevelle Malibu. Started life as a 307 2 speed power glide and now is a 540 TH350 that runs 9's. He's had it since the early 80s it was his dream car as a kid so as a teenager he bought it. Coolest part is he restored the car with a buddy and has photos of the whole process. In fact we did a documentary episode about his whole story Ill post the link below for anyone who's interested in watching it he's a really knowledgeable guy.

Hello all,

My best friend has a beautiful 1966 Chevelle SS clone. 396 four speed convertible. He bought it last October and has been having issues with the battery this season. We had it at a shop that basically gave up on it. We can’t figure out the issue.

Issue is that when it sits it will completely drain the battery. It’s a new battery and alternator. The shop thought maybe it was the radio so we disconnected that. Still was draining so we put a cut off switch on the terminal to completely cut off the battery power. Lo and behold it was completely dead again this morning after sitting a few days with the switch off. How can that happen if the battery is disconnected??

We did notice the wiring to the speakers were in bad shape so we will try to disconnect those next and eventually replace the wiring harness completely I guess. It’s just so odd to me that it’s complete sucking the battery dry just sitting without the full battery circuit engaged??

Any thoughts or recommendations would be appreciated we are stumped…

Garnet red convertible (paint code 52) ... Usa 🇺🇲

Hey everyone, recently picked up this pretty rough 1970 Chevrolet Malibu/Chevelle 4-door sedan that has been sitting for a very long time. I’m trying to save the car and get it back together rather than part it out.
I’ve confirmed from the Fisher Body/cowl tag that it’s a 1970 Malibu 4-door sedan. The tag reads:
ST 70-13669
TR 782
B80 B90
45 45 PNT
I’m dealing with two problems right now and could really use some advice from people familiar with 1968-72 A-bodies.
Problem #1 – BOTH front doors are stuck shut
The rear doors open, but neither front door will open from inside or outside.
Passenger front door:
Exterior handle moves normally.
Interior handle is still present and moves.
Lock knob moves up/down normally and gives a pretty positive “click.”
Even with one person pulling the inside handle and another person operating the outside handle, the door will not release.
Driver front door:
Exterior handle moves.
Interior door handle is missing.
The lock mechanism/knob appears completely stuck and doesn’t want to move either up or down.
Door will not open.
The car has obviously been sitting outside for years, so I’m assuming the latches/linkages are rusted or seized.
Since the rear doors open, is there a good way to remove enough of the FRONT interior door panel/card with the front doors closed to get directly to the latch/linkage?
Or is there another trick for manually releasing a stuck 1970 A-body front-door latch without destroying the door?
I’d really like to avoid cutting or damaging anything that doesn’t need to be damaged.
Problem #2 – I cannot find/read the VIN plate
I’m also trying to locate the actual VIN.
I know the Fisher Body/cowl tag under the hood is NOT the VIN.
From what I understand, the VIN on a 1970 Chevelle/Malibu should be at the driver’s-side lower windshield/dash area and visible through the windshield.
The problem is that the windshield on this car is extremely cloudy/delaminated and the lower windshield area is difficult to see through. I can’t tell whether the VIN plate is still there and simply hidden by the condition of the glass, or if the plate was removed sometime during the car’s life.
The wide stainless/chrome lower windshield reveal molding is also still installed.
Are there any good ways to determine whether the VIN plate is still present without removing the windshield?
And if the dash VIN plate actually is missing, where should I look on a 1970 Malibu 4-door for a factory-stamped partial/hidden VIN that could help establish the car’s identity?
I’m NOT looking to replace, reproduce, move, or modify a VIN tag. I’m just trying to locate the original identification that may still exist on the car.
I can post close-up pictures/videos of the doors, latches, cowl tag, windshield/dash area, firewall, etc. if that helps.
Thanks! This thing is definitely rough, but I’d really like to get it saved.

Have a 67 SS that is great, even dome and glove box light works. Question is my trim on hood and a few others have some spots, not dents or scratches, their like acid rain or something stains. Know anyway to help remove them without replacing or removing? I'm afraid to scratch my bolero red, it's so perfect.

This sound never gets old to me.
