Hey all. I need to know what the total width is at the widest point for a '70. I'm trying to see if it will fit in my driveway along with my wife's car. BIG selling point to me getting it! LOL. Need info ASAP.

I have no idea how wide a '70 Chevelle is, but I say clean out the garage, or put whatever vehicle is currently in it outside...... problem solved! :thumbsup:

Good luck.. hope you get it!

Nothing official, but I'd measure about 76" at the wide part of the fenders. There's gotta be something on this site already with the "official" width of a '70

LOL. The "clean out garage" tactic doesn't work with 30+ years of crap from in-laws. I've searched for the width all over here and the net.
-Xtreme70: thanks for the estimate! That gets me in the ballpark then. Just found an all original Malibu over in Burbank (I'm near L.A.,CA). $9,500 and needs body work but 80k original miles supposedly. Just gotta sell my existing car to get it!

Does anyone know how to rebuild the factory a/c? It's missing the belt and I don't know if any other parts are missing.

It'll fit. If not do what I did after I bought the Sprint and have the wife park in the grass. Yeah, that didn't last long...

You want the car, what is the problem?

I have 3 cars (incl the Chevelle), my truck , a car trailer, a parts car, a Waverunner, and it's trailer, and a house, all on a 48 by 80 ft lot!

The other 7 cars, the boat and my tractor are at my wifes house.

Dang, my calibrated eyeball must be off by .6". Maybe if I got LASIK. ;)
