Default Nice '69 Malibu, One Family Owned with Great Docs

Nothing special as far as drivetrain, but a great looking California car with a neat set of original docs including window sticker from Schonlaw Chevrolet in Hollywood.

Pretty strong money already...probably as much as it's worth IMO

Cool car. Why an M40 (isn't that the TH400) behind a 250HP 350 cu.in.? Did they opt for that? shouldn't that normally be an M35?






hmmmmmm, maybe they were going to drop a 427 in front of it and create a sweet sleeper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ad seems confident its a TH350. If it is actually a TH400, I would guess that the factory A/C triggered an upgrade. I've shared before that I had a '69 Firebird 350/2bbl with A/C that had a TH400. It was an untouched car that I couldn't figure out why it had that transmission. Apparently engineering decided that was needed for the application. I'd be curious as to the reasoning.

I believe that even the TH350 was listed as an M40 denoting 3 speed turbo-hydramatic transmission in the earlier cars. The listing was the same for the TH400 cars...the engine/hp level was the deciding factor.

* a rust free 69 Chevelle...V8 engine, Th, p/s, PDB, a/c, etc...bargain at $15k.

Exactly. M40 was a 3 speed auto, either TH350 and TH400 - the listed price would be different. The same way as M20 was 4-speed manual - either a Muncie or a Saginaw.
