Do you own a Malibu 400 or have some information to share about them?

Here are some more pictures of my Cortez Silver 1970 Malibu 400 that is featured in pictures throughout the site.

This car was owned by a
single family since new. I purchased it in 1998 from
the original owner's son.

Sold new at Ron Tonkin Chevrolet in Portland, OR, this car was used as regular transportation until 1984 when the owner parked it for 14 years.

I learned about this 1970 Chevelle 400 several years ago, and finally had an opportunity to purchase it in 2005. This is a base model Chevelle, which means it was devoid of most exterior chrome trim, and was outfitted with standard (not Malibu) door panels and a rubber floor mat instead of carpeting.  Its in extremely rough shape, but not beyond being restored.

Deck stripes appear original
 on the car. There is no evidence that the car was ever repainted. A few other Monaco Orange 1970 Chevelles have surfaced in recent years, including an LS6 that was featured in MuscleCar Review several years ago. Cowl tag shows two dashes where paint code would normally be found.

The original build sheet is
proof positive that this Chevelle was one "special" order. Built
as a stripped down model with
lots of performance equipment,
this car may very well have
given Chevrolet the inspiration
to offer the "Heavy Chevy"
Chevelle in 1971.

Its not a Malibu 400, but my
1970 Malibu convertible came loaded with lots of options from the factory.

Factory tach & gauges and bucket seats are just some of
the options ordered on this car. Note dash was treated to an incorrect amateur restoration
by previous owner.

Here's the original window sticker documenting the options on this neat convertible.
