Is this an incomplete project or a running driving car at this point?

Any interior pics?

Location?
Incomplete project. See the list above for a list of what is done and what parts are included. There are enough parts included to get pretty close to complete.IMG_4906.JPGIMG_4532.JPGIMG_4473.JPGIMG_4472.JPG

Thanks.

"No reasonable offer refused" is a pretty broad spectrum. Are we talking $3,000 "I need to move on" or $30,000 "I know what I got"?

Again, location?


A Malibu has been on my short list for almost 30 years. It needs to make financial sense though. I love that color.
 
Nice combo of parts. Curious on the answer to Driven's last question as well.
Minneapolis, MN I have over$18,000 parts and machining, etc. I understand I will not get that all back, but if I can't get at least $14,000, I will hold on to it.

Minneapolis, MN I have over $18,000 in parts and machining. If I can't get at least $14,000, I will hold on to it for now.

As time goes by, I become more anxious to sell my car.
Would someone please help: either make me an offer or tell someone else about it. It’s really a great start for someone. I have pretty much everything needed to complete the project.
 
Okay! I am desperate. I have become disabled and need to sell this car immediately. I was building it as my own driver, so everything is top quality and done right.
Make me any offer at all.
