Yes I have a free and clear title and yes it is a TRUE V8 CHEVELLE MALIBU SS RAGTOP. You can easily Google 64 Chevelle VIN decoder to see results as shown below. The VIN to this car is: 458 67B 138 352First Character: Manufacturer Year4 - 1964

Seventh through Twelfth Digits:Sequential Production NumberThe sequentialstartingnumber for the 1964 Chevelle was 100001 at all Chevelle assembly plants. Each assembly plant sequenced Chevelles of all series/models without regard to specific series/models. For example, f a series 45645 station wagon followed a 45667 Malibu convertible, he sequence number would be one unit higher for the wagon. It's also entirely possible to have the same sequence number from all five 1964 U.S. assembly plants with the only difference between the VINs being the plant code.
Production at the Kansas City plant exceeded 100,000 units sometime in mid to late June so the VIN sequence from that time frame to the end of production would be 2nnnnn for the Kansas City plant.
* The El Camino is not a separate series nameplate but rather a body style in both the 300 (53/54) and Malibu (55/56) series although it's often listed as such. The base (53/54) El Camino is a 2-dr sedan pickup body style with 300 trim where the (55/56) El Camino is a 2-dr sedan pickup body style with Malibu trim.
