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.

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

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.

Thanks , Richard [/ QUOTE ] With some of the most respected and knowledgable people in the hobby as members here, I'd say this is the place to make the car known. Oh well, it's nothing out of my pocket. I wish you well with the sale.
