1964 Malibu SS
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
The 1964 Malibu SS is easily identified by its VIN; 1964 is the only year the VIN started with the model year and consisted of 12 alphanumeric characters.
First Position Number - model year
4 - model year 1964
Second & Third Position Numbers - engine type
57 - 6-cylinder Malibu SS
58 - 8-cylinder Malibu SS
Fourth & Fifth Position Numbers - body style
37 - sport coupe
67 - convertible
Sixth Position Letter - assembly plant
A - Atlanta, Georgia
B - Baltimore, Maryland
H - Fremont, California
K - Kansas City, Missouri
L - Los Angeles (Van Nuys), California
Seventh through Twelfth Numbers - Sequential plant numbers
The sequential starting number for each assembly plant started with
100001.Each assembly plant sequenced all Chevelles regardless of
series or body style. While multiple plants will have the same
sequence numbers, it would be relatively rare for two of the same
series to have identical sequence numbers. The difference in the
VINs would, naturally, be the assembly plant code. Production at the
Kansas City plant topped 100,000 units sometime in late June so the
VIN sequence for late Kansas City-built Chevelles would be in the
2nnnnn range.
