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.

The seller is probably confused by the Malibu emblems on the door panel instead of "SS". This is extremely common on LS-6 cars as Charley mentioned. I would say maybe $80K-$90K fully restored and even then many would pass on the car being a column shift with a bench seat. The Seller is dreaming IMHO.

Let me chime in My Next door neibor was Glenn Wilkinson Plant manager of the Baltimore Assembly Plant from 1968 to 1971, then Arlington plant manager from 1971 to 1976, previously Wilmington plant manager 65 thru 68. Among many of the conversations we had prior to His passing one was Quite interesting. His knowledge of these cars was staggering and the pictures of His Company cars incredible. He had the first LS-6 built as his demo as well as many Ram air IV GTO's . This is a Factual story in 1970 a Plant employee ordered a plain jane Malibu for himself, he walked the car thru the line adding all the LS-6 componets in a Malibu body. It was a correct number matching car that made it all the way to the final rolloff line where the car was being checked out for departure from the plant. Quite a commotion arose from this car as to how it got built, the Employee was fired and quite a few people got in serious trouble over this car. As I recall the car may have been Black or Green I will have to ask his son who is my age. Their family grew up arround these cars and Dad had every Hi Perf car that could be ordered from the sixtys out. There is one, it wasn't destroyed and the where it went is a Mystery but a REAL and TRUE story ,so there is ONE maybe still out there. Plain Jane ,no emblems ,steel wheels, flat hood ,the exhaust tips gave it away or it would have made it to the other side of the gate
