I`m getting this chevelle from a friend, as soon as I get a rearend for it, and I was able to go out there today and write down the trim tag. H ere it all that I found,

ST 70 13637 KAN 455067 BDY
TR 790 25 A PNT
12E 06011 L

I tried to see if the engine but all I could find out was that it is a 1970 LS5 W/MT. Tthe nubers look like there were restamped after the block was decked. It`s so grungy I could`nt tell. I thought the VIN was suppost to be stamped on the block too? Anyway, if someone could give me any info about the trim tag, that would be great. Thanks.

13637 ~ 70 Malibu 2-dr hardtop
KAN ~ Kansas Assembly plant
455067 ~ GM assigned number for tracking purposes
790 ~ Aff. Ivory Coated Fabric bench seat
25 A ~ Astro Blue w/white vinyl top
12E ~ December (1969), 5th week
06011 ~ Corresponds to number on build sheet for tracking purposes
L ~ unknown, many but not all (KC) tags have this "L".

Thanks Dale. This is a dumb question but are any of the numbers the VIN numbers? My old 65` have the VIN number on a tag in the door jam. Thanks.

VIN number on a 70 is on the top of dash at the base of the windshield on the drivers side.

Thanks, wasn`t sure were it was.

Your VIN should be something like:
136370K'123456' where the '123456' is the vehicle sequence build number. See http://www.chevellestuff.com/70velle/trim_tag_decoding.htm for examples.
