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.
Nothing....it's actually a Chevelle Malibu. A lot of times....especially for the older cars, most people just drop the "Malibu" part. Improved: The Malibu is an improved trim option from the Chevelle 300 Series So from 1964 and 1965 Chevrolet Malibu (SS)/ Chevrolet Chevelle 300 (deluxe) 1966 till 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle 300(Deluxe)/Malibu/SS 1969-1972 Chevrolet Chevelle 300/Malibu/SS
Well, the sport coupe was a 2 door hardtop rather than a 2 door post or 4 door sedan. The Malibu 2 door hardtop is considered to be a sports coupe. While ALL 1970 Chevelle Super Sport's are Malibu's, most Malibu's were not Super Sport's.
the chevelle ss 396 was the correct name and chevelle Malibu was a separate model of the chevelle.
The last Model that Chevrolet called a Chevelle was 1977. From 1978 on they were all called Malibu. Malibu was a trim package for the Chevelle from 1964 to 1977, and was the most popular Chevelle model.
The last Chevy Chevelle was made in 1977. Starting in 1978 the Chevelle nameplate was dropped and Chevy's midsize car was called the "Malibu" from then on. It's interesting because from the very beginning in 1964, the "Malibu" was actually a Chevelle model/trim package. Before 1978, ALL Malibu's were Chevelles, but not all Chevelles were Malibu's.
The first Chevrolet Malibu was produced in 1964 as a subseries of the Chevrolet Chevelle. In 1978 the Chevrolet Malibu became a model on its own, replacing the Chevelle.

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.
The Chevy Malibu brand was created as a high end subseries of the Chevrolet Chevelle beginning in 1964. The Malibu started out as the upscale Chevelle but soon became it’s own model.
