1970 Chevelle Malibu Time Capsule

[@j.s.3297]

Nice.. My mom had the same car in red with black vinyl top in the 80s..I was 14 and she sold it before I was legal age to drive it.

[@goodoboyde]

Congrats on your new car

@@SilverTurtle65 you're welcome. I am currently searching for a simply 1970 Chevy Malibu as well. I appreciate any advice you have for me.

[@CoinHound]

What a beautiful car!!! My parents had a 1972 blue Chevy Nova when I was a child. I have always loved that car, and I would love to have one today. Congratulations!!!

[@SilverTurtle65]

Thank you Coin Hound. When I saw this car I couldn’t believe how clean it was for it’s age and I consider myself lucky, the seller was a classic car lover with class. I was lucky to be at the right place at the right time.

[@hendo337]

Car in your picture is a '72, there's another '71 or '72 across the street too. Love those round tail lights. Loved these cars sunce I was a little kid. My mom had a '71 Chevelle SS 350 from 1986-1989.

[@SilverTurtle65]

Yes correct the car in the picture was a 2nd Chevelle that I bought for $600.00 it had a blown motor and I was 16 just received my license and wrecked my 1970 Chevelle it was misty turquoise and I dropped the 1970 motor and the hood. I also switched the seats since my 70s were like new. My original Malibu only had 50k original miles. I bought from my Aunt she was the original owner.

[@davidlis6709]

I have the same car, same color. Mine has a bench seat. 350-V8 2bbl, factory air, all original except it has a 4 speed Hurst shifter on the floor and an after market radio.

[@SilverTurtle65]

Sweet! I wish this was a 4sp but I still love it.

[@joecelgabi]

wow very nice

[@SilverTurtle65]

Thank you

[@PocketChangeInspector]

I had a gold '71 Chevelle. Liked the round taillights but wish I could have swapped the front end with the 1970.

[@SilverTurtle65]

When I recked my first 70 chevelle I bought a 71 in 1983 for $600.00 it had a blow motor so I swapped the motor out with the 70 and the interior, hood, trunk lids because they were in better condition. So I actually had a 71/70 mutt lol

[@mncalapati415]

With the original black lic plates too!?. 🤙🏼😁😷

[@SilverTurtle65]

Thank you for watching and commenting I appreciate it. Yess very hard to find a car that hasn’t been modified.

[@OverTheHillRV]

Great video. My first car was a 1970 Chevy Chevelle. The video brought back a lot of memories.

[@SilverTurtle65]

Nice I’m glad to share it, thank you

[@ClaytonCountyHistoryHound]

I forgot to mention. Get an insurance quote from Hagerty Classic Car Insurance. My friends into classic cars really talk highly of them.

[@SilverTurtle65]

Yes I’m getting classic car insurance

[@toddrobbins392]

The color is called Green Mist Metallic. Magic Mirror lacquer finish. I had one of the same but with a 307/TH350 automatic transmission and no A/C , power steering, no power brakes ( drums all around) with 36,000 ACTUAL MILES!!!!!!!!!!

[@toddrobbins392]

It’s a Chevelle Malibu sport coupe.

[@toddrobbins392]

It also got GREAT GAS MILEAGE!!!!!!!!!!!

[@davevirag5423]

😍

[@michelleblattler2903]

mine is that color inside but its a bench seat and mine has been repainted dark green

[@ejjj5940]

My first car was that exact same car (Exterior color, interior color, vinyl top color, motor, wheels, shifter). I found out later these are called Malibu Sport edition (not SuperSport). Unfortunately it had a close front end encounter with a '62 VW Bug in 1983. I loved that car--I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Thanks for the memories!

[@SilverTurtle65]

That’s a great story. Thank you for watching and commenting I appreciate it.

[@ZacharyWhite25]

My Dad owns a 1970 Chevelle Malibu. Same 350 small block engine. All stock original. I want it one day. Keep that car and NEVER let go of it!

[@SilverTurtle65]

That’s awesome. Thank you for watching and commenting I appreciate it.

[@ZacharyWhite25]

@@SilverTurtle65 my dream is to own a 1970 Chevelle Malibu one day. Either I get to keep my Dad’s (which has been in our family and has been his car for 40 years), or I’d like to find an all stock original 1970 Chevelle 4-door sedan. My Dad’s 1970 Chevelle Malibu is very special. It’s the Astro Blue color, hardtop, doesn’t have the vinyl top like yours does. It has the factory hub caps (I call them wheel covers). The interior is blue as well. I was practically raised in that car. When I was a senior in high school, my Dad let me take it to homecoming all by myself (which was the first time I had ever driven in it alone). That car was my chariot out of every school I graduated from. Dad even let me take it to college a few times. And let me tell you, as a 24-year-old, I feel like I own the world when I’m behind the wheel of my Dad’s 1970 Chevelle. He hardly drives it anymore, and I’ve tried to convince him to fix it up and pass it on to me. To this day, I’ve had no luck. I drive a 2004 Chevy Impala. The steering on the Chevelle is sooo much better than my Impala. Hearing your story reminded me of what my dream is one day. And man, there ain’t nothing wrong with the paint on that hood. On my phone screen, it looks fine to me.

[@SilverTurtle65]

@@ZacharyWhite25 I’m sure your dad will appreciate your love for the chevelle and one day it will be yours. But just in case have two Chevelle’s is always better than one, so I would keep hunting for the one diamond in the ruff. When I found this one I wasn’t looking. Unfortunately they are very sought after especially in original condition. Good luck

[@bluskyodyssey]

I love the Chevy Malibu, always have. Never had one though. Very cool how you got it. I can't believe the low mileage. What a gem, and I love the green. Enjoy! Debbie - BluWave Odyssey

[@SilverTurtle65]

It’s a great car I consider myself lucky to have it

[@jasoncarpp7742]

Awesome looking car. My favourite years for the Chevelle and Malibu have always been 1970 and 1971. They have the best looking front end appearance since 1965.

[@BonedaddyToo]

Sweet ride. Love the memories the color and interior brings back.

[@jerrywright1383]

You did awesome!! Wow that is almost like mine. Same color 70 Malibu mine is a 307 with column shift. Stock hub caps, green cloth interior. I enjoy driving this car so comfortable so smooth.

[@01surge24]

Really nice car..the 1970 chevelle was the only one with dual headlights and square tail lights of that body style..71-72 had single headlights and round tail lights...the build sheets can be found just about anywhere in the car. Under and behind seats..on top of gas tanks..etc..plant location decal on drivers door..ID plate on left side of cowl..all will help you identify the factory options it was built with and month built. Etc...most importantly. Just enjoy the car...you are now the care taker of a piece of history...the 1970 Chevelle arguably the best muscle car ever made...I’ve owned mine for 10 years now...I still smile when I look in the garage.

[@jerrywright1383]

Hi Turtle 65 Do you still have you chevelle I don’t know how to send pics of my car to show you how close our cars are. I bought mine from a family that I worked with.they had it in the family since new. Brother bought it from his brother that owned a Chevrolet dealership in Iowa and was pasted down the family line. I actually love that mine is bone stock. Painted once but exactly the same color. Mine does not have power brakes but has air, auto and power steering. Jerry

[@SilverTurtle65]

Hi Jerry, Yes I still have my Chevelle and enjoy driving it. I’m glad you have one like this one. I bought it by chance. I was making a delivery and saw it in a carport, I took a chance and left a note on it. It wasn’t for sale so it was pure me liking it since it reminded me of my first car that I wrecked when I was 16 years old. A week later I got a call back and was able to buy it. Thank you for watching and commenting I appreciate it.

Trim down the side isn’t original. It was added. The chrome across top of fender to back window is.

[@sokodad]

@@SilverTurtle65 hope you don’t think I was being critical. I have a 1970 Malibu also. I made stupid mistake of changing color. So eventually want to go back to original color. You have a sweet car. Very beautiful. A guy I spoke to this last week had a few 1970 Chevelle SS’s among other cars. I said mine was just a Malibu. He said no yours isn’t just a Malibu. Be proud of it. He said these beauties are getting rare. Personally I’d fix the dent. A good classic car body shop can match paint. If you’re going to keep it make her pretty. Love to see more videos. I need to get more of mine on my page. I have no doubt that trim saved the car from many door dings.

[@SilverTurtle65]

@@sokodad No not at all, I appreciate your knowledge of the car and I didn’t know it wasn’t original. Yes I plan on keeping her as original as possible.

[@deanblack8166]

I had a 70 Malibu...It was a light yellow with green interior, no vinyl roof. Mine had the 307 engine. I noticed yours doesn't have the engine size emblem between the front bumper and the front tire. I traded mine in in early 1975 to buy a family car because we were getting married. I have been kicking my own butt ever since. That is a nice car. I hope you get many years of enjoyment out of that car.

Thats one great car love it ✌🏼always loved chevelle and the perfect color for you 🐢😂

Very nice find! For the ding, you should talk to a paintless dent removal guy, they can remove the dents without having to repaint the panel. Not only is it much less expensive to do but it wouldn't reduce the value by having it repainted.

Thank you that’s a great idea

I have a Cadillac 1976, white , red inside and red convertible. It belonged to my grandfather , he was a mafia boss. It sitts in garage , never ever touched ,, like brand new .
