Here are some more information for Camino Malibu:

General Motors' Chevrolet division launched the first Chevelle for sale in 1963, and they continued to manufacture it through the 1977 model year. In the muscle car era of the late 1960s, the Chevelle was an amazing success. It even provided the basis for the reintroduced El Camino, and it provided the platform upon which Chevelle would base the Monte Carlo for 1970.

Chevrolet conceived that first Chevelle to compete with the extremely popular Ford Fairlane. For this reason, the Ford Fairlane would originally provide the inspiration for the Chevelle's particular size as well as many of its visual cues. However, the Chevelle would quickly take on a life of its own, and Chevrolet would abandon the purpose of competing with the Fairlane in pursuit of even greater success.

During the 1960s and in the early 1970s, there was a great deal of variety for each model year of the Chevelle for sale available to consumers. This was the first time the American auto market had seen a model that tried to be all things to all people. There were convertibles, economy-oriented sedans, station wagons geared for the families, and of course, the muscled coupes. The Chevelle for sale was also available in the form of exclusive nameplates throughout the years, such as Nomad, Nomad Custom, Greenbrier, Concours Estate, and Concours.

Each car in the A-body series boasted a pony car offering called the Super Sport (SS). In some cases, it was a distinct model, but in other cases, such as the El Camino, the SS was simply a trim package, the centerpiece of which was a big block engine. The SS model offered with the first Chevelle for sale was the very first of these Super Sport models, and it marked Chevrolet's first serious entry into what had quickly become a highly competitive muscle car segment. Two years into the model, there is a distinct change to the vehicle, as GM was introducing the Coke-bottle body shape wherever it made sense to do so.

During this period, GM had a restriction in place for all of its divisions that prevented mid-size or smaller vehicles from including a 400 or greater cubic inch displacement. However, this was a period when every muscle car buyer wanted the biggest engine they could possibly get. It wasn't that much more expensive, and fuel and insurance were still relatively cheap. There was great demand for these large engines, so a dealer outside of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania used the special equipment fleet ordering system as a loophole to meet the demand. Many of these "special" 425-horsepower Chevelles took on their own name such as the Berger Chevelles, the Sunico Chevelles, and most famously, the Yenko Chevelles.

In 1973, the Chevelle for sale brought with it the largest redesign in the relatively short history of this model. One of the other major changes of that second generation came in 1977 when Chevrolet replaced the SS as the high-performance Chevelle for sale with the Laguna S3 coupe. This happened for a number of reasons, but perhaps the primary one was that the image of the SS designation had lost much of its luster along with increasingly shrinking engines of the 1970s. Soon after this decision, the Chevelle just wasn't selling well any longer, and Chevrolet merged it, along with all other similar mid-size models, into the Malibu.

Chevelles For Sale

The Chevelle is a mid-sized automobile that the Chevrolet division of General Motors manufactured from the 1964 to 1977 model years. As part of the popular A-body lineup that included the reintroduction of the El Camino, Chevelles for sale during the muscle car era were a smash hit. As well as providing the basis for the El Camino, GM also used the Chevelle as the basis for the Monte Carlo that they would introduce in 1970.

Chevrolet intended the first-generation Chevelles for sale between 1963 and 1972 to compete directly with the popular Ford Fairlane model that was a similar size. During the design phase, Chevy promoted the vehicle with Nova nameplates, but the model would eventually take on the Chevelle name, and the Nova would become another of the A-body models. During this period, GM also used the Chevelle as a basis for the Beaumont, a hard to find re-trimmed Chevelle sold only in Canada by Pontiac.

There was a lot of variety in the Chevelles for sale during this period. In addition to the standard Chevelles, there were also 4-door hardtop sedans, called Sport Sedans, which Chevy manufactured from 1964 to 1972. Chevy also offered a 2-door station wagon variant between 1964 and 1965. This was part of a value segment called the Chevelle 300 series.

From 1964 to 1972, GM manufactured the 2-door hardtop coupes dubbed Sport Coupes. They manufactured the 4-door sedans and the 4-door wagons throughout the entire first generation run. There were also Chevelles for sale with exclusive nameplates such as the Concours, the Concours Estate, Greenbrier, Nomad, and the Nomad custom, which was only available in 1968.

All of the cars in the A-body series included a muscle car offering, these were the SS models, or in the case of the El Camino an SS trim. The Chevelle SS was the first of these, Chevy's first real entry into the highly competitive muscle car market. In 1966, Chevy introduced a complete redesign of the frame used in the two earlier models. This aspect didn't change much in terms of performance, but it did keep the Chevelle in line with the style of the times, the Coke-bottle body shape that had become prevalent among mid-1960s American cars.

The Yenko Chevelles are an interesting footnote in automotive history for collectors. During this period, GM had a restriction that none of their divisions could put an engine with a displacement over 400 cubic inches in a mid-size car. However, this was a common request from muscle car consumers, so Don Yenko, who operated a Chevy dealership outside Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, found a loophole involving special equipment fleet orders that allowed him to custom order Chevelles with 425 horsepower engines. Once other dealers became aware of this loophole, they began doing the same thing, and these supercars took on their own names, such as the Berger and the Sunico.

The most extensive redesign in the ten-year history of the Chevelle came in 1973, and marked the start of the vehicles second generation. In 1977, the Laguna S3 coupe replaced the SS as the performance edition of the Chevelle. At this point the Malibu, which had been a mid-tier offering, became the top-of-the-line trim as the Malibu Classic. The standard base model was simply the Chevelle as it had been. However, toward the end of this run, Chevrolet's lineup had grown too unwieldy, and as part of a company-wide downsizing, Chevy merged all mid-size offerings into the Malibu model. Unfortunately, the popularity GM had built with the Chevelle did not survive into the Malibu-only years.
