Chevyrelic Dec 2nd, 07, 12:11 PM Congrats on getting the car! Post some pictures so we can see it's condition and I'm sure you'll get some "free" advise...:D TonyZ Dec 2nd, 07, 2:21 PM Hi. Picked up a 72 ragtop this summer.307,auto,yellow on black,runs,rusty, including some spots on frame.One registered owner car that probably needs everything in & out. Have POP. No outstandig options. what to do? Why did you buy it? dapper_duke Dec 2nd, 07, 6:35 PM Why did you buy it? I usually stick to Camaros, but the guy was anxious to sell. Bought it, did a little research, found out kinda rare. Cannot keep at this time. Will try to run classifieds (newby) Thanx TonyZ Dec 2nd, 07, 7:46 PM What's rare about it? savage71chevelless Dec 2nd, 07, 8:31 PM It's fairly rare I would imagine being a convertible, especially in 72 TonyZ Dec 2nd, 07, 8:34 PM 4853 malibu convertibles in 1972 dapper_duke Dec 2nd, 07, 9:33 PM 4853 malibu convertibles in 1972 4853 of something 35 years old I would consider rare. I've seen only a few others (Carlisle, e-bay,ect..) since I got it in June. But thanx for the positive outlook Tony! TonyZ Dec 2nd, 07, 9:44 PM I'm not trying to rain on your parade, I just never heard a 72 malibu convertible being considered rare. Sure there are a lot less than hardtops, but that's every year, although 72 was a lower number than previous years back to 67.
