Hey everyone I was wondering if anyone can tell me what a 78 Malibu classic should cost. Looking to build a project car. I found 1 in my area that's pretty beat up for $1000. Its been sitting for a while and isnt running, has a 305 from a 74 z28. Any feedback would be appreciated.

depending on your area, that might be a decent price.... you wouldn't happen to have a quick pic of it would you?

rust/problem areas to look at closely are:
bottoms of doors
frame rails behind rear axle
floor pans, especially in the footwell areas

From what you are describing it sound high to me - it's hard to tell w/o knowing a lot more. Just so you know the 74 z28 had a 350, the 305 didn't come out till the late 70's. Unsure of what kind of project you are looking for but you are going to be a lot further ahead in the long run (and cheaper) spending more money up front for a nice car if not one completely done to you liking. Take a look @ Silverfoxed 79 Lemans in cars for sale.
