Interesting '70 2-tone, 4-speed Malibu

[WILMASBOYL78]

I like it...simple and it looks clean and well cared for. As for the 4 speed...unless it was swapped out, this car would have a Saginaw wide ratio transmission from the factory. That was the tranny used for the low-performance motors. The Canadian paperwork mentions M-20...pretty sure that designation was for the wide ratio for both the Saginaw and Muncie applications.

A 307 2bbl. might come in handy the way gas prices are going these days.

Very cool car, but it's hard to fathom ordering a 4 speed and not the 350 engine too. I'd have to drop an L48 in there and leave the 307 emblems, eh Tony...

With a complete lack of underside pics, no way to see which trans it is, but you are correct that it would, in all probability, be a Saginaw. And, yes, the M20 designation was used interchangeably for either trans. No mention of it being a Muncie in the description or Canadian documentation and Saginaw didn't provide shifters for their trans, so the Muncie shifter would be correct as well.
