While I'd probably never start with a 307/PG car again, I really like this Malibu.....

Note the build sheet has a date of 06-10 and trim tag is 06A for those correlating trim tag dates with build dates. June 10 was a Tuesday into the 2nd physical week.

Agree it's a pretty car and not hot-rodded or modified too much - hood and wheels don't detract. Why, oh why, the finger warning sticker... Looks like fresh orange engine paint hasn't burned off exhaust and battery tender implies it hasn't been driven much since engine was painted.

I was thinking in the 12-15K range myself. 25K is a bit much for 307/PG/manual brakes car, IMHO.

This car was on brooklyn craigslist for a while about 4 years ago by second owner for under 10k and it was kind of screwed up & fresh out of long term storage. a hobbyist bagged it, wet sanded grannys earl shieb, buffed it, added ss hood new rims, detailed the engine compartment and trunk then rolled it 3 years ago somewhere in the teens. he cleaned it up pretty good but I suggest personal inspection before purchasing

Don't know if you saw this link that I posted a while back but check out the (real) Yenko Chevelle that they drive/test. It might look familiar....and fairly awesome.

Hope you (and others) enjoy!

I am blown away by the asking prices on some cars. WTF are these people smoking?

About a month ago a buddy tells me about a '70 SS396 with docs and numbers block on a stand....502 under the hood...with a T400 behind it.. Car was very nice fresh resto with a ton of repop parts(dash,trim,interior..etc.. kind of a turn off for me). Seller says 55k.. I threw out 40k... Sellers wife comes out and raises the price to 60k... but says she'll let it go for 57k.. WTF?? Supposedly the people are going thru a lawsuit and could use the money... I guess they didn't need the $$$ that bad..

Ahhh.....the old "I really want to sell you the car for XXXX but my wife is crazy and won't let me" pitch.

It's usually followed up with some huddling around and "well, I can go YYYY dollars....but don't tell her" line.
