Purchased from original 82 yr old owner. Has been stored inside a block building with no windows all it life. Car has never seen rain. Still has gm paper over carpet from pre-delivery. Car has 1772 miles on it. Had plans to put it under knife but I am having 2nd thoughts. Probably the one of the lowest mileage one's left in country.
































Here is a walk around video of car

Very nice!

 

Damn - I'd have a hard time cutting that one up - And it's a stick too. How on earth did you come across that for sale?

Beautiful car and the colors are good also - Usually they are baby$hi+ brown with the same interior - That is a keeper for sure.

Always wanted one of the 78-81 Bu's - Great looking body style.

i would leave that car stock and try to sell it. i bet it is one of the lowest mile cars in the country.

 

I bought this one this spring with 4600 miles and thought it was clean. It now has built GN drive train makes just over 600 to tires.










So i really didnt cut the gold one up,but it wasnt like the red car either. The red car is basically a new 79 malibu.

 

Sharp find and color too..what's in it..original V6?

That car would stay stock, or an extremely clean and detailed LS Swap.

 

I would not cut it up, they did not make many v8 stick 78-82 Malibus!

 

Do not cut it. Please!

 

It is a v6 3 speed car.

 

What do you think it is worth like it sits and how much after swap? I wish I had it very nice!

 

Probably worth more like it sits. Some collector would probably love to add to his collection so he could look at it with his buddies.

 

Talk about a pair of sleepers! Do the swap, you obviously know how to do it right & keep it clean looking.

 

See what it pitches for a value..

 

That car is really nice, I would have to take a long look at my abilities before I cut a car like that up. That being said you know what they say start with the cleanest example you can afford I think you found the cleanest one you can find plus its only a 6cyl to start with

 

There is really no cutting involved tho..a LS will drop straight in with zero modifications needed to the chassis. That is a non-AC car so that's even easier.

He is already a factory Manual so that helps if a T56 is wanting to be used, it would require the kit to make the shifter come out where it currently is.

 

Nice find!
Hacking up F-bodies is the game. What's this "kit" word you use?

 

I'd say, north of $10g, maybe more at a Barrett-Jackson or Mecum auction. Put it on E-Bay with an obscene reserve just to see what it bids to...

 

im all about saving historic cars, but.......v6, 3 spd manuel, no ac, non- performance model. Id take advantage of not having to do major resto and turn it into a super clean, low buck monster. thats just my 2 pennies. super find !

 

I'll trade you a 69 chevelle for it !

 

I keep looking over those pictures and am having 2nd thoughts about my suggestion. I haven't seen one anywhere near that clean since I was a kid, not sure what I'd do. I guess if it were mine and somebody offered me 10K+ it would be an easy decision, but its not mine. Anyway, does that car have any options at all? V6, 3 speed, bench seat, radio delete, ...... does it even have a tilt column?
