I bet you're wrong, unless they didn't know what they were buying...
:yes:I would guess more $100-150. Yeh, I know these were not used with any high performance cars but not everybody is running high horse power. I would think for someone that needed one for a "driver" Malibu it would be worth more than scrap.
There was one on a local classic car/parts auction this summer and I think it went for 400 from what I remember. I thought that was a bit high.
Let me know if anyone else has opinions.

No disrespect intended but 400 for a saginaw is about 300 too much in my opinion. I don't know if it is an M20 or 21 Muncie but one just sold here locally for 400
Dean it's an iron case not aluminum.

What were the Saganaw 4 speeds used in? I know the Saganaw 3 speeds were used in the Malibu/Nova lines.

A friend of mine had a 70 malibu. That would have been around 72 and 73. It had 350 with a 4 speed saginaw.
I think the Saginaw 4 speeds used in the Monzas and Vegas were weaker versions.
In the first gen Camaros the Saginaw 4 speed was used for the L6, 307, 327, and low horsepower 350s.
They were also used in some Malibus, and much of the Chevrolet passenger cars with lower horsepower ratings.
Since a lot of people think these are "junk" - I don't think they are, they have there usage - could they be getting hard to find since a lot may have been turned in for scrap?
Don't get me wrong. I would not put this behind a 400+ hp engine.

Never underestimate those CRAZY eBay buyers.I bet you're wrong, unless they didn't know what they were buying...

OK, call me crazy. Here is what I bought for $125. I will offer it to my son's friend for the same price I paid, and not even charge the gas money it cost to go get it.
Saginaw 4 speed from a 1978 Malibu, original shifter and rods, handle, and knob. Plus a 366861N flywheel in decent condition, 462606 bellhousing and inspection cover, clutch fork, bell crank and rod, 10.5 inch clutch and pressure plate. Clutch and pressure plate are worn and probably only good as return for "core" if anyone charges for them.
Yeh, I know - it's not a Muncie. But not everyone needs one.
Was that a decent deal or not?

Except for the pedal's ,you have a manual trans kit for a G body.
There's folks out there looking for these so you might try that approach if you go the e-bay route.
Bellhousings probably worth more than the trans.
Here's some info:
