The Malibu spent nearly a decade as a trim level before it was ever its own car — riding as the top of the Chevelle lineup from 1964 through 1972 and quietly picking up the SS-396 package, front disc brakes, and a full restyle along the way.

This gold 1970 Chevelle wears SS trim over a 350 bored to 355 cubic inches, an Edelbrock carburetor, headers and a Flowmaster exhaust, plus Vintage Air and 17-inch wheels.
