30k !! ?? absurd !!
what trans ? 727 or a 4 speed. Regardless, if he spent 30 grand he got hosed !!

For ex: a 70 Challenger 440 sixpack, with a Mopar A883 18 spline 4- speed transmission & Dana 60 Rear Axle. .From Brewer Performance who specializes in Dodge rebuilt for $500 using your core. . A new rebuilt total replacement would be about $3000. Whoever told this guy $30k is super hosed. ( and that's a hemi trans at that)

I may be wrong about that price, but it was still way more than I would have expected. Still in the 5 figures, maybe $10k. Some shop in LA. This was his dad's car, passed down to him, all original.
 
The grille is too square.

basically the same front end as the Monte Carlo of that generation(designed for NASCAR) I know them well, my '86 Monte race car (10.14 @ 136mph)

I like this one. '69 "Black Death" as I call it LOL.

Looks like the early Camino's were a wing car and more a sedan. For more muscle/body I'd say 68-72 according to this.

That’s the body style I like too. It’s a little bit “4x4” looking with the stance, but that’s easy to fix.

Nice monte! My BIL has an 84(non ss) with a 468 in it. Pretty cool.
My brother has an 82 S-10. It was running 8.50’s around 160mph iirc. They decided to go 1/8 mile this year. Was trying to hit 4’s. Tracks were too damn hot this year.
He also drives a ridgeline(has since they came out). It’s basically a Monte Carlo! Lol

mine was a LS6 454 '30 over' (462), only thing left chevy on it was the block. Dart Pro-one heads(big time porting), Calles crank and rods, Je forged pistons, solid roller cam. Dynoed @ 715 hp, I had thought about a 250 shot of Nitrous but would have had to back half the car and decided not to. TH400 full manual up against a 9", 38 spline, 4.33 gears.

Is the chevelle a broader name for a subset of cars? '66 up for auction has Malibu on the side.
 
I'm still a bit confused but the 64-67 Chevelle is a Malibu. Also a SS. Chevelle was more mid range built on performance. The Malibu luxury. Now obviously it's just the Malibu since the 70s I think.

In ‘78 it became simply Malibu. But until then, it was just a trim package(luxury). All Malibus are chevelles, but not all chevelles are Malibu’s.

exactly, think of it along the lines of Biscayne, Belair, Impala. All the same basic body. All the manufactures did it, Plymouth Road Runner and then the luxury performance version, GTX
