Hey Jimmy, from the sounds from you, i
wouldn't worry about the repairs do them these cars are a good
investment, over time they only go up in value, seems like realestate
allmost lol, plus it's a good hobby (it can get expensive though) but all
depends on how you go about restoring it, meaning, you can go to yard
sales swapmeets things of that nature or you can get catalogs and get brand
new. Now as for your vin# it reads as follows 1= chevrolet D=
Malibu,custom Elcamino, Concours=wagon. (obviousley it's a malibu) 37= 2
door sportcoupe F= 307 2barrel carb V8 130 horsepower (so much for the
350) 2= 1972 B= Baltimore MD (where it was built) the rest of the numbers
are production numbers in sequence. hope this helped you in your
decision. Write back, Ken

Hey Ken,thanks for getting back to me .
it's has a chevelle tag on the trunk and Malibu tags on the inside door
panels.the VIN is 1D37F2B504042. I tried checking the VIN # on line but
it only showed more modern 17 character VIN #'s.I was told it has a 350
cid, auto on the column,drum brakes, none posi rear. I bought the car
from a parking garage that had a lein on the car that the original owner
abandoned there . so I don't know much about the cars history. What I
do know is that the car needs both 1/4's( rotted out above the tail
lights both sides) a driver side door and some work on the roof, it
looks like somebody was standing/jumping on it because it's dented and
slightly creased above the back window.The rest of the car looks pretty
solid ?.I'm pretty sure it's repairable . any thoughts ? Hopefully good
ones, because I've been going through the" Special Interest Vehicles" parts
section making a tentative wish list.i.e..cowl hood, 454,Muncie
4spd,disc brake conversion,373 posi. am I a dreamer or does this sound
realistic. Thanks again, Jimmy

Hi jimmy, Ken here, well lets start with your
ideas first you can clone it to an SS clone it to a
HeavyChevy or a Malibu or just keep it a chevelle, i'm
not sure by your email if what you have is a HeavyChevy let me know
about it. Ken

Chevelle Heavy Chevy?
Hey All,
I recently looked at a 72 Chevelle that
has a cowl induction hood and an SS emblem on the front
grille.Thinking this was a "clone" which many are,I did some
research on the vin to find the first 4 digits of the vin 1C37 indicates this car is a Heavy
Chevy.Anyone have any info on the Heavy Chevy? Production
numbers,Stats,Value.Any info on this car would be greatly
appreciated !
Thanks
