History...
The Chevelle came to Venezuela, imported by car dealers and individual owners, since itīs introduction in the american market during 1964. Itīs production in our country began few years later, in a date we pretend to precise along this investigation.
However, we are sure that during 1970, 1971 and 1972, itīs production had already begun at the "General Motors de Venezuela" assembly plants, from where only were produced the sedan, station wagon and coupe versions. There werenīt produced SS coupes, convertibles, neither El Caminoīs in Venezuela.
The options oferred for this vehicles were limited, without the same range of variety of RPOīs achieveable in the USA, and here only was sold just the Malibu version -wich was only one of the Chevelle versions- but with the 307 cid engine. About 25% of the carīs parts were Venezuelan made.
The 1971-1972 Venezuelan Chevelle Malibu coupes were issued with bucket seats and center console. Their transmisions were TH350īs and their engines, as we said, were 307 cid V8īs.
At the "Specs" section itīs included technical information about these cars, being remarkable the singular VIN Code which identifies them, because even itīs closer to the american one, has variations that make them a rare item.
