Original car, very clean for age and mileage. 307, 3 spd manual, air conditioning (assume non-op) radio. Not much else.
Pics below.
What's it worth?

fairly clean little car. I would guess in the $6800-$8500 range if the seller is motivated.

How good is the body and paint..?? if it is a rust free car with driver quality paint that would be a plus...next the interior. It looks pretty good in the photo....I see a deluxe wheel, three on-the-tree, seats look ok...engine bay is set up for a V8...that's a plus. Vintage smog pump and plumbing could be worth some $$ to a 68 Z28 or L79 owner. Check to see if it has the 5 blade fan with clutch....another high dollar 68 part. If the car is solid and you want to build a nice V8 sleeper...then I would say $5k would not be out of line...if it has lots of good parts...up to $10k. i have always liked the 68's....key in the dash is the bomb!!

wilma

it would appear it might be original paint? If it is as clean as the pictures I would assume it has low mileage on it? I would put in in the closer to 10K range if those things are true and it runs excellent. Heck I would love to own that car even if it has the crappy 307..

Im with you Dewayne ,I also would love to have it.

8k to 10k easy. If you can get it for less gooble it up. More than that will depend on a good inspection and how much you like 68's. You don't see many that are that clean and in the shape it appears to be.

Nice looking car. I'm impressed by the fact that it appears to still be all original and it's all there, including smog pump. I'm guessing by the pics that the paint isn't original but it's hard to tell. How many miles? Any docs with it?

Car is on the trailer looks like you already own it. 7 to 10 all day long. :thumbsup:

Did you mean it has air conditioning (perhaps dealer installed) or A.I.R. (air injection reaction)??

I believe Alan meant both-we can see the smog pump in the engine picture, and the A/C outlet by the glove box and the center vent in the interior picture.

Hey guys, didn't mean to abandon the flow of information...just incredibly busy right now.

I did not get to see the car. The guy that owns the resto. shop where my '69 is had a gentleman bring this car by for sale. He knew I might be interested and snapped this pictures and a few more for my benefit. I haven't had a chance to call the seller yet, hope to tomorrow.

The underside of the car is very clean...no rust. It is supposedly original paint and had been garage kept.

As Bill surmised, I was calling out the significant options and air was air conditioning.

I was told that $10K will NOT buy this car. FWIW, another member here had a '69 rolling shell we were discussing for $5,000. A good rust free body is worth the money and this car is complete and original. It's not an overly desirable model and the column shift manual transmission is a deal killer for many people. I was thinking about $12,000-13,000 and that's ALL the money.

Below are some more pictures that I won't leave forever.

Man, Nice car but you are right - That's ALL the money for that car.

LK

Yep. ALL the money. The mighty 307 isn't the stuff dreams are made of either.

Easily worth 10K plus.

The smog setup alone is probably worth $1000+

what a beauty:yes:

As usual the parts are worth more than the whole. Do the want the car to drive, restore or clone a SS? Seems like a nice car to clone a SS but I would not spend much more than $10k to drive or restore.

Alan, pretty cool find. I hope you have bought it by now. You never know who might be sneaking in the back to steal it away. Stated in the tense at it happened to me...

Looks like a real nice orig. car, solid. 307/3sp can always be swapped out and kept for orig. if wanted. Looks like a real nice survivor. My thought is for 13-14k, what other Chevelle could you get? A '68 SS big block? Are you wanting a '68? Is it worth 14k - maybe to the right person, I would think you could find a more desirable combo for that price. If you def. want her, jump to get it as stated above, or it might be gone.

the beauty is you can ask anything you want, that might not be close to the selling price, but hey you can try as much as you want. I still wouldn't give over $10K for it with the way it looks and the stuff it has on it.

Here is my 68 malibu. 1 owner southern cali car til 04. all original documents and maintance records, including the pre-delivery check sheet and dealer license plate frame from South Bay chevrolet in chula vista. 307/pg 4 wheel manual drums. 1 repaint in the late 80,s. i paid 11,000.00 in 08 as it sits in the pics from the second owner.

Dave are you selling yours?

Found this on my local Craigslist. I'm not sure if it's rust-free, but the seller claims it is a "solid southern car," and if it is, I would have to say that this is closer to a reasonable amount for a 68 Malibu in great condition.

its already sold. Thanks though

Not a problem, Andrew. I actually didn't realize you were looking for a 68 Malibu or else I would have posted this sooner. The ad has been up for a week or two. Sorry about it being sold, I guess people don't realize that when they sell something on CL they should probably delete the ad after it is gone...

No big deal Alex, it happens all the time.

been looking for a 68-72 chevelle for a long time now..too long. I have since started looking at pontiac a bodies as well since chevelles are priced much higher compared to their BOP offerings. The BOP route certainly gets more car for the money.

To me, the biggest determining factor in price is the condition of the original metal of the car.
A solid body and rust free floorpans and undercarriage is worth a premium.

Judging from the condition of the body and floorpans of this car, I would say it is probably originally from the Southwest.

Because of that, I'd say it's worth at least $10,000.

The meager 307 can easily be replaced with a big block, and the 3-speed column manual can easily be replaced with a transmission of your choice.

However, a rusted body, rusted floorpans, and frame corrosion are not so easily repaired.

Just because a car is from the South doesn't necessarily mean it's solid and rust-free.
Although we don't get much in the way of salt and brine on the roads in most of the South, we do have lots of humidity.
On the other hand, the desert climate of the Southwest has a lack of salt and a lack of humidity...which goes a long way in preserving the sheetmetal and iron of these cars.

I'd take a Southwest car any day over a southern car.

Looks like the smog stuff would actually be worth more than that. With the manifolds and if all of the hoses are good, closer to $2000.00

I think this Chevelle would be a great candidate for a BB 4 speed swap. I'd add buckets /console too :thumbsup:

Damn, I didn't have any idea the smog equipment alone was that pricey.

Yeah, a car that solid is a great way to start a project.
