From 1964 to 1977 the Malibu was a trim package more than anything else. It was a step up from the base Chevelle model, and was generally called a sport coupe. The early super sports were actually called "Malibu Super Sport" before ALL super sports became "SS396" in 1966. By 1970, ALL super sports were Malibius and even shared the same VIN model number as the Malibu. For Coupes, the model number was 13637. While ALL super sports were Malibus, most Malibus were NOT Super Sports. The fact that regular Malibus and Super Sports shared the same model nimber on the VIN is what makes it SO difficult to tell the difference between a genuine Super Sport and a SS clone in 1970 if the car is cloned well. Unfortunately, it also makes it possible to pass off a clone as a genuine Super Sport. In 1978, the Chevelle name was dropped and ALL Chevelles were called Malibus after that.

What is the difference between a Malibu Chevelle and a Chevelle?
The Malibu was originally a trim package for the Chevelle. It was a step above the base model Chevelle. ALL Super sport Chevelles are Malibu models, but most Malibu models aren't super sports. Chevrolet always referred to the Malibu coupes as "sport coupes" so it was more of a sporty package rather than a luxury package.

What is a chevelle clone?
depending on the year of the car, Chevrolet had developed cars that had the same body style, but with different names. for example, in 1968 Chevrolet had built the chevelle.and this body style had several different variants, one would be a Malibu, then a chevelle Malibu, a chevelle, and a chevelle super sport. so a chevelle clone would be just taking a car with one body style, and converting it to a different variant that had the same body stylr. it would be like taking a chevelle-Malibu abd converting it to a chevelle ss.
