Second Time Chevelle Owner
 

I bought my first Chevelle in 1977. It was a blue Malibu with bench seats, column shifter, and 307 engine. I thought it was a granny car. But I always liked it. My brother tore up the tranny so I got rid of it in 1979. Just bought a 1971 Heavy Chevy a week ago. I don't think it's a real one but I haven't look into it yet. Orange with black vinyl top and interior. Has a 350 in it. It's in great shape but I'm in the process of fixing a few things and customizing others the way I want them.

Welcome and show us some pics ,I like Heavy's especially in orange ,also where are you from ?

Thanks. I'm from Central Illinois. I've included a couple of pictures, not great ones. I will add more pictures later.

I cant wait to see more ,it looks good from here .

Welcome to the site, what are the first half of the VIN?

Getting a little personal aren't we ? :)


I like, from what I can see, your rims. Can't wait to see more of your car, especially the Heavy Chevy Stripe.

If it has a 4 in the VIN where a 7 usually is... I.e. - 134 vs 137, it could be the real deal.

Congratulations on the purchase, I really like those cars. They are under appreciated by a lot of people.

You know I was just giving you a hard time carpoor. :)

The VIN is 136371L103844. Can anyone tell me if it's a real Heavy Chevy. I'm assuming it isn't. Thanks.

From what I can find.

1 - Chevrolet
36 - Malibu, Concours station wagon, 8-cylinder
37 - 2-door sport coupe
1 - 1971
L - Van Nuys, California
103844 - Sequential Production Number

I have never looked for an actual Heavy Chevy code #. There has to be one. Sorry I wasn't any real help.
