1972 Malibu Features/Options

Shown below are features found on the base Chevelle and its optional YF3 Heavy Chevy as well as the Malibu and its optional Z15 Super Sport package. Hopefully this will help clear up the differences between the "Chevelle" series and the "Malibu" series in the overall Chevelle lineup. It should be noted (but not mentioned in the verbiage) that while the Z15 SS option was available on the El Camino (Custom) as well as the Malibu sport coupe and convertible, but the YF3 Heavy option was available only on the Chevelle sport coupe.

Station wagons and pickups (El Camino) are not shown here but wagons came in a Nomad series (1B36/46), Greenbrier (1C36/46), Concours (1D36/46), and Concours Estate (1H36/46) and the El Camino came in both the Chevelle (1C80), and Malibu (1D80) series. Also not shown is the Monte Carlo (1H57) series.
