Welcome to Chevelleforum ,take a lot of pictures and post them here and you will find lots of answers .Get pics of the gauge cluster to see if it has round or sweep style gauges ,seats ,as many good exterior shots of the car also .It may be a Malibu or it may be an SS ,hard to prove on a 70 as the vin doesnt confirm it .

The CRT in the engine stamp indicates an LS5 454, manual trans. Look a little closer at that stamp. Tonawanda plant stamped the engine with a T followed by 4 digits, followed by the suffix, CRT in this case. Also look to the right of that number and see if you see the assembly plant stamping, Kansas City assembly plant in this case, the K in the VIN. That stamping should have the partial VIN number of the car. It may be upside down from the other stamping, seems Kansas City plant did that.

The 3885010 looks to be a 66-67 Muncie main case casting number. 3978764 is a the tail housing casting number, 70-74 Chevelle. Hard to say what the trans is for sure other than a Muncie 4 spd.

"I've been helping a friend clean out her very large storage shed and found a car in there."

Who does this happen to? Really?

Hello Fellow Enthusiasts...

I am looking for a friend with a large storage unit containing an old desirable classic car. It can be (in order of preference) an early Chevelle convertible, a 60's Jaguar XKE Type Roadster, or a 50's MG-T series.

I celebrate the good fortune that touches those around me.
Enjoy,
Bob
