Jack: I really can't give you an exact price on the woodgrain because
the car was built in stages, and I bartered for pretty well everything.
It all started when I had the desire to get a Malibu wagon, a rust
free one at that. I had a 1970 Challenger at the time too, which
can be seen at the website www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Lane/5408/
I use to trailer the Challenger everywhere in an enclosed trailer.
Well I stopped doing the car show thing and decided to get rid of
the 20 ft enclosed trailer. Well the guy who restored my Challenger
wanted the trailer for his personal use. I asked him if he would be
interested in trading for a Malibu wagon. Problem was he didn't have
a Malibu wagon but he had a ramp truck and was heading to South
Carolina to go through some wrecking yards. Well we decided to trade
heads up for a restored Malibu wagon. He brought one back totally
rust free less engine and transmission. I bought a 4 door Malibu
off an older couple and we yanked the 305 and transmission out of it
and placed it in the wagon. He put a fresh coat of paint on the wagon
and refurbished the brakes and suspension too. So the wagon never
cost me anything out of pocket. He delivered the car to me as seen
in the one photo where the car is strictly just blue in color. He even
delivered it with rally wheels. I bartered for everything else on the
car piece by piece except the new 350 crate motor and the fancy wheels.
Sorry about the long story but that is how I got the car to this point.
I've had the car for 5 years or so now and have been thinking of
selling it to get a 70-72 Plymouth Duster.
