You gonna steal it?

That's the plan... Wish I could find a 78-81 Malibu.

Are we to assume you are in Kansas? What's your budget?

That euro nose means it is an 87 or 88. They only had that for two years. The tail lights also will be different. They will have a slight wrap around of about an inch on the side. The prior years only had the lens showing out the back.

The LS came out mid year in 86' so a lesser chance, but could be an 86' as well. And I'd agree, a 86-88 LS is what's in the picture.

Details on this Monte you found? The story?

I don’t think it’s considered a Gbody, I believe that it’s a unibody subframe.

I had mentioned to a few of my co workers that I was looking for a 78-81coupe and one now well versed in cars mentioned an old car that had been kept in a barn by an old mnan for the last 12 years and that a wind microburst destroyed the barn but didn't damage the car. He mentioned that it was an older two door car but wasn't sure what it was. We went on Google Earth and was able to get this shot of the car in small town outside of Wichita, KS. The old man who owns the car was actually cropped out of the photo as he sat in a chair in front of the car in the original photo snag. Supposedly it has been under this covered thingamajig for about a year now. Don't know any more than that.

Yes, I live in Wichita, KS and depending on the condition of a G-Body Malibu I would be willing to spend as much as 10k...
