I will give you a way to find out. First do a numbers breakdown to see what the car actually equipped with. If you don't know how, I will do it for you. No problem. Then find out how much of it is original, and how rare the car actually is. Take my DOCUMENTED original '69 Yenko Chevelle for example, only 99 ever made, 1 of only 12 automatics, 1 of only 4 with my color scheme, only 22 known originals left known to be remaining, I am not going to tell you what it is worth, but the point I am trying to make is that for something to be worth something in the muscle car era, it has to be powerful and/or rare. The more documentation it has the better. I assume with its low milage about everything is original. Collectors sometimes do not consider the fact that a car with low milage is that much more valuable. Sometimes they just want to drive it once in a while without worrying about racking up the miles. One more thing. Everyone yells Kelly Blue Book. Forget those on collector cars. Ask a pro, read, watch Barrett Jackson auctions. Look up my Yenko for example, Kelly Blue Book, doesn't have a clue. My estimate on your car given the very limited info... Assuming the worst, 350 cu in, bench seat, green exterior, green int., Automatic, I would say $3'000- $6000 max, at its lowest. I allowed extra for the low milage and originallity, and the worst. If you give me the VIN I will break it down for you. One thing is for sure, its extremely hard to appraise something on such little information.

Well you say it's a sedan, you get much less than if it were a SS Chevelle 454 and poss 396. It may look good and everything but it depends on the need of them and how popular that car was in the 70's which that particular car was not the muscle car due to its motor & package ect. But I suppose it either came with a standard 307 or 350 cid motor.
Not only that, I would try to sell it quick to get your money back out of it, before anything happens to it first!

No I would leave it alone. The car will depreciate if you start doing changes to it. I would keep as factory as possible. You must have a very rare car because I never heard of a 6 cyl in 71. Keep in mind it is just a Malibu. They didn't put big blocks in Malibu's. I think the biggest they put in them was 350's.

Go to www.nada.com or www.kbb.com. You might be able to call some classic car dealers and ask them.
