70 LS6 MALIBU auto/bench Docs. 30,000 Mile Valu ??

[mrrec]

I think you'll need to provide some more info (like buildsheet copy Rick asks for) before many here will hazard a value guess. I'm a little gunshy when I here numbers like "1 of 13" are tossed out. Very knowledgable folks here that haven't ever heard of one let alone production quantity.

Hope it turns out well for you.

There are no production facts that I have ever heard of so the 1 of 13 is someone making stuff up. I'm guessing the Malibu part is the car probably has non SS door panels which is quite common but I could see where someone would think that was special. Column shift auto and bench seat does not help the value so my value guess would be about 90K as a finished car. Color also will be a big value factor.

Let's see the instrument panel.

A big-block could be ordered in non-SS 70 Malibu, but you were limited to the 330hp 402 (LS3) engine. Just not possible to get an LS6 in a regular Malibu. No evidence of such a car in any GM literature, and if there were in fact multiple cars built, then something (either info or an actual car) would have surfaced by now. Chevrolet has no records breaking down engines by the models in which they were installed. If such a car existed, it would likely be a one-of-one, and likely worth a substantial amount. Never say never though, right? All you have to do is post a scan of the build sheet and all us skeptics will be shut up.

I suspect that the owner either has an SS454 car with the often-found Malibu door panel emblems, or an LS3-equipped 70 Malibu. Read all about the latter at my website.

This sounds like a car I am currently looking for a buyer for.. white car, black vinyl top, red bench interior 70 LS-6 resto started, some docs, like MSO and POP.. but car is in TN and not believed to be a Malibu? weird ??? I'd also love to hear how this plays out

Quite possibly urban myth,but wasn't there a thread a few years back about the A/F ordering base elco's with LS6 motors?.I seem to recall them being utilized for birdogging SR71's during takeoff/landing as the pilots could not see the wingtips.Apparentely they were the only chase vehicle that could keep up..maybe I was dreaming,lol

Those were SS454 cars not base El Camino's. The Air Force base my brother was stationed at used these cars and he and I have been looking for one for many years to no avail.

That car is in fact a Super Sport LS-6 and not a base Malibu.
