I remember my aunt and uncle traded their 1970 Chevelle for a 73 Malibu. It was maroon in colour. They had that car quite a while. I think it got traded on an 81 Cutlass.
I cannot recall when I last saw one.
I think one showed up at a local A&W show last year.
An old friend had a 1974 (non-SS) black on red coupe with a 350/350 drivetrain and swivel buckets... unfortunately he gave up on it about fifteen years ago, and sent it to the wrecker - IIRC his dad bought it new.

Back in the 70's there was a dark red '73 Chevelle SS in Dundas, Ontario. It was showroom condition, with Firestone Wide Ovals on stock 14x7 Rally Wheels, 454, factory sliding sunroof, swivel buckets. I couldn't get out of the back of the Datsun 1200 I was riding in to verify whether it was 4-speed or TH400. It was regularly parked at the Shell station at the corner of King & Creighton where the Pepper Mill, a '60 Falcon drag car with a hot 300 six, was based. Bruce Eckles owns the garage now AFAIK.
Ever see a Chevelle SS wagon? I knew of them all the way back to 1973 introduction, but I never saw one in person until 1984 in Atlanta.
