He sure does exaggerate things quite a bit, but it's still a nice car. I like the white on white, have never seen that before. But the wheels would probably be the first thing to change if I bought it.

The guy obviously doesn't know anything about suspension, but then again, neither do the people who built the parts. :D

It's worth a ton just because it's that rare Chevelle Camaro

you know, it's a clean car, but i'd be hard pressed to bid on it, because of all the crazy descriptions. he's all over the place. how would i trust what he says, is in the engine? good guys award winner? for what? non ss, non restored, non original, miss represented car? i think this ride would have brought more $, if he would have just kept it short and sweet, and not tried to impress everybody with his clear lack of knowledge.

I think it's better to approach any car with caution regardless of the discription or pictures.

I like the term "factory motor"... arent they all???
He didnt say ORIGINAL....
Also, I bet the A/C doesnt get very cold.....

it was really nice looking right up to the time I saw the interior. That green interior is really ugly in a white car.

and yeah the a/c must be a bit on the warm side without a compressor.

"most came with 305s"??? News to me, I thought most came with 262's. I think I'll email him and straighten out this bit of miss information, see what kind of response I get.

Most Malibu's came with 305's......only in '78 and onwards maybe....

Gotta love the hacked dash for the radio and gauges....

The factory motor was pulled out and machined 30-60????

Sure aint the factory engine anymore, not if it's been molested....

3.08 gears.....good for the interstate....that's it....

The wheels are a little to big but other then that. Its not a bad looking car. Too bad he screwed up the add with all that rediculous text in there.

How can people have 39k invested in something that looks like that? If I invest 39k in my car, I could make it much nicer than that. Speaking of which, I will probably be into mine 39k by the time its done. But it will have 600hp BB and paint.
