Vehicle Detail
1970 Chevrolet Chevelle/Malibu 350 Special ordered on 5/12/1970 from White Allen Chevrolet in Dayton, Ohio by 21yr old Carol Huff. After waiting two months Miss Huff took delivery of her dream Chevelle on July 13,1970. She was a car girl and did her homework ordering her Chevelle with the 300hp 350ci V8, Muncie 4sp, gauge package and 12-bolt differential with a 3.31 posi. She splurged on power front disc brakes but little else. This Chevelle is a base model stripper/street racer, i.e. bench seat, AM radio, dog dish hubcaps and manual steering with a sticker price right at $3200.00. She was not a big fan of the bright colors of the era so her Chevelle was ordered in a more sedate Code 17 Shadow Gray with black interior. Miss Huff had fun driving and racing her Chevelle in Southern Ohio untill she decided to move out to CA in 1975 towing a 12 foot U-Haul trailer behind the Chevelle. She settled in San Diego got married, started a family driving the Chevelle sparingly untill parking it in the early 80's. She reluctantly sold to Chevelle in 1985 to the local and very persistant UPS man that had taken a shine to the Chevelle. Fast forward 29 years to this past January when I was able to purchase the Chevelle from the UPS guy that had put the car in his back yard shortly after buying it from Miss Huff. Weather, time and unfortunately rodents had taken a toll on the once mighty Chevelle. After a good cleaning and a lot of work the Chevelle is once again a running and driving car with current registration and a clean CA title. I was even able to track down the original owner and show her the Chevelle. She related numerous stories and information concerning the Chevelle that add to it's colorful history. Including, why the M-20 Muncie has a build date of 11/21/1970? four months after the build date on the trim tag. As related by Miss Huff the Chevelle was in a minor accident shortly after she took delivery and went to the local Buick dealer (recommended by the family insurance man) for repair. While the Chevelle was languishing in the back lot of the dealership waiting to be repaired the original Muncie was stolen and ultimately replaced by the dealership. The Chevelle was also a victim of a hit and run in the late 70's causing the driver side rear quarter panel to be replaced at Hine Pontiac in San Diego. A rare Chevelle worth restoring with 75K original miles, original numbers matching engine and differential. The Muncie is not original and was replaced when the car was 6 months old. Unmolested engine compartment and uncut dash. Severe rust on driverside a-pillar, rust also visible at base of windshield and under stainless trim. Heavy surface rust on roof and hood. Small holes visible in the passenger side front and rear floorboards. Heavy surface rust on driver side floorboards and trunk floor. Interior in rough shape due to rodents and will need to be completely gone thru. The dash is in surprisingly good shape considering how long it sat uncovered in the back yard. Please look at pictures closely and ask questions. I just received my first negitive feedback from somebody who admitted he did not read the ad text or understand what he was buying. He then made my life miserable because a Barret-Jackson quality car did not roll off the transporter. I do value my feedback and want a happy buyer. If you have any concerns regarding the Chevelle please do not bid. Thank You!
