you probably figured out by now i have a 1968 Elky with a 327 and im pritty sure its a malibu but not sure enough and i cant find any site to search my vin and get a correct read out can someone give me a good site so i can make sure thanks 8O :?:

I dont know of any web sites that can do that for you. I do, however have GM parts catalogs for that car and I may be able to help you decode your vin#. Send me a PM and I will try to help you out.

ok that would be great just feel free to im me at artis158 when ever im on or pm me if were both on

You can also just put the VIN and cowl tag numbers right here on this forum. Usually someone jumps on and takes a swipe at decoding it. A lot of us have the "Catalog of Chevelle, Malibu, and El Camino ID numbers 1964-87" by Cars & Parts Magazine 8) .

Just a suggestion...

ok if anyone wants to take a shot at it the VIN is 135808B179515 let me know wat you get thanks

VIN is 135808B179515
1=Chevrolet
35=Malibu, Custom El Camino, 6 cyl
80= 2dr sedan pickup
B= Baltimore, MD assembly plant
179515= Represent the basic production numbers. Starting with 100001/up.

If you have a cowl tag number, I can give you some more info.

Hope it helps

well thanks but i now wonder what motor becuase i didnt think the elky had a 6 cyl until the 70's wats your guys input?

According to the book of ID's and engine numbers, there was a 6 cyl made in '64 and up. The "35" part of your VIN is proof positive that it originally came with a 6 cyl.

Sorry.

huh i never knew that im glad to know but let me check on the vin again and make sure thats right but ill get back to you and i thank you for your help

Yep, they came with a 235 straight 6 in 68, and the 35 in the vin indicates it as such...
