Welcome aboard!
What plans do you have for it, and what's the overall condition of it? It looks pretty clean in the picture.
Post some more pics of it when you get a chance.

Thanks, actually we're looking for a front clip and doors for it. My son wants to put a monte Carlo nose on it. It has a 305 in it. Runs really well.. just needs interior trim and seats.

Thanks for sharing the pics. I guess I spoke prematurely. I didn't see the damage on the left side.
There was someone on the forum, not too long ago selling a Choo-Choo Monte SS style header panel. Fenders shouldn't be too difficult to find.
I've seen complete Monte Carlo noses used, fenders, header panel, etc., but the bodylines are different and would entail some sculpting to get it to look right. Honestly, I would replace the fender, door, and whatever's damaged, and continue on. Where are you located?

Good project car. I recommend checking all the brake lines for corrosion and replace if needed. Also the hose portions too if they haven’t been done already.

If you don’t use the Malibu front end, I’m interested in the thin chrome trim that goes around the front turn signals. If you become interested in selling it, let me know.

If you decide to fix Malibu front clip - I have near perfect New Mexico fenders. Front header panel, too, although yours looks okay in the pictures.
