Mike you might need to go out of province? Not sure why but this one has changed hands a couple of times in the last few years. It's two hours away so I have not seen in person...

I agree with your points, makes me wonder what the deal is with this one, as it's been on CL off and on for over a year. I am tempted, but really don't need another project

I've watched that one come and go a few times too. Only thing I think it has going for it may be a "solid" drivetrain but who is buying that to use what is there? Base model Malibu, 14" wheels/tires are rollers, paint is gone, interior is dried out, emissions equip stripped, ac parts stripped, no doubt a 2.29 open rear, not much there to start with over a solid shell in my opinion.
I think the ability to find a great, clean car, in stock condition that just needs cleaned up is done with G-bodies unless garage finds and grandma cars keep popping up, otherwise we are starting to see that most have been used for dirt tracking or cash for clunkers and prices rise as others figure this out.
In my case, I would greatly prefer to buy original paint, and the leisure-suit blue would get changed anyway, so not a big deal, clean sheetmetal is where it's at...and at least it drives! That's something that doesn't happen much lately. I paid too much for my current coupe, but had been looking for quite a while. Naturally within a month of buying, several better examples came along
Agree 100%!
Obviously, that would be the preferred route for most of us, myself included
Brian you need a factory 4 speed??

Yep, they are a bit harder to find around here. Lots of dirt tracks around here. Some of the yards around here keep the bodys to sell to their dirt track buddies. I do get to buy the trim items. I've been building G bodys since early 90s and have watched the prices. They will only get higher
You, sir, are not helping!
Looks like a nice driver/project. Thank goodness it's FAR away.
What I really need is to finish the one I have...or rather, start in earnest on the one I have.

No oops, appreciate that you look out for all of us.
1867 miles! That'd be one heck of a road trip.
