Overview
Collectible Motorcar is proud to offer this 55 years of
single-family stewardship, this Arlington, Texas-built 1970
Chevelle Malibu Sport Coupe presents as a true SS-equipment,
LS6-spec, 4-speed car that was dealer-warrantied with a replacement
454 LS6 shortly after new and then sold to its long-term owner in
1970. Finished from the factory in Gobi Beige (50) with black
stripes and a Dark Gold vinyl roof (H), it retains hallmark SS
details, benefits from careful mechanical refreshing in preparation
for sale, and is accompanied by a partial build sheet, period
magazines/brochures, a clean Montana title, and a set of 1970-dated
LS6 cylinder heads included loose.
Rarity note: According to the LS6 Registry, only three LS6
Chevelles are recorded in Gobi Beige. Given this car's color/trim
combo and equipment, it could be a unique (1-of-1) example within
that extremely small subset. (Prospective buyers should perform
their own due diligence with the registry.)

Company, Great Falls, Montana.

Why This LS6 Matters
The LS6 sits at the summit of Chevelle performance-advertised 450
hp in 1970 and revered ever since. Finished in uncommon Gobi Beige,
verified by its 50 H paint/roof codes, and backed by a CRV-suffix
LS6 replacement with a Muncie M22 and G80 Positraction, this car
delivers the specification enthusiasts want with the visual
understatement only Gobi Beige can provide. With only three Gobi
Beige LS6 cars listed in the LS6 Registry, this example's
combination of color, trim and equipment makes it a potential
one-of-one opportunity for collectors seeking rarity with real road
presence.
