Re: 1970 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible
With a 307 engine, that car should have a Saginaw in it. Strange that it got a Muncie.

RPO M20 doesn't mean "Muncie". As far as I know, it was just the RPO code for "4-speed (wide ratio)". GM decided what trans to use based on the engine. In this case, it probably is a saginaw.

Re: 1970 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible
What equipment/combo makes it a 1 of 1? Nice car but I wonder what it looked like before the resto. I think it would be worth more unrestored.

Re: 1970 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible
I could have sworn that the ad said Muncie in it somewhere. Guess I misread it.
