I have 2 buddies who are BIG TIME into Chevelles. After hearing a lot of Chevelle talk over the years I've picked up on a few things.
From 64-68 the Chevelle SS had a separate VIN. Base Malibu's started with a 136 and SS cars started with 138. After 68 starting with the 69 model year the SS became a Malibu option and the ONLY way to tell an SS car from a Malibu was with a build sheet. This is why just about every Chevelle on ebay or at a cruise night has SS badges.
The seller claims that this is a 138 Chevelle which documents it as a true SS so that does hold a certain value. What I don't see is whether it's a number's matching car or not. If it's a number's matching true SS, it does hold a special value especially to Chevelle enthusiasts.
That being said, the overall condition of the car does not warrant that mid-30's price.
