A loaded 2 dr 9C1 car would be very rare. Do you have the documentation (build sheet, original service parts ID label, original bill of sale) to show that it is a 9C1 car? Just curious, as most police package cars tended to have a hard life, and for one of these cars to have survived for 28 years would be quite a feat.

That WOULD be a very rare car. Like he said, a police package Malibu would be hard to find as they were drivin hard. Not only by the departments that had them, but also by the individuals that bought them afterwards. I have had a couple of them and they were in pretty bad shape when I got them. If it is indeed a 9C1 car, I would keep it completely stock. I am doing one now that also was a police packaged car, but it was in pretty bad shape with a ton of miles so I am going ground up with alot of mods. Good luck, and welcome to the G-Body family.

A documented 2 door 9C1 with mileage that is that low would be extremely rare. As suggested above, I would keep the car completely original. I would say that there are probably very few cars like that still around.
