That is a pretty decent price. Why are the good deals always so far away?

 

Looks familiar. I think we've had this one up here before.....

 

Still for sale. Loaded up '77 Malibu Estate wagon.

Looks like a great car for the price.

77 wagon

I'd love to save this car. Not too many Estate's made.
But, if memory serves, it either has no title or a salvage
title. I think he pulled it from a salvage yard. Admirable,
but SO hard to get titled. Never got very good photos of it.

 

I live in California. It doesn't matter how clean or dirty the title is--- if the car is from outside California. It's an exercise in rigamarole either way. The wagon does look good.

 

I dont think it has the 3rd seat option because I dont think it has the vent windows in the cargo area windows, which would signify it is a 3-seater.

*Ironically, I keep seeing a '76 or '77 Malibu Classic 4dr sedan at one of our local cruise-ins in the spectactors parking lot. It is a nice and original car... looked high optioned as well.

 

this is close enough that I will try to get a look at it in person.

 

correct, I called and it is a salvage deal. Cool but not sure if it is worth the hassle

 

Hey you guys! I picked this one up. The title issue isn't hard to deal with. the car had went to a wrecking yard a number of years ago, issued a stock number. Title went to the state. Just have a bill of sale from the wrecking yard, since no parts had been removed or replaced, a State Patrol inspection is all that is required. not much hassle. The guy threw in a dual exhaust crossmember, a set of boxed trailing arms and sway bars from a '73 ElCamino SS, an extra tach dash. This car was definitely worth picking up. I have another crate 454 looking for a home, but the small block in this one runs so good, I'm just going to dual exhaust, roller cam it, toss in a hard hitting 700R4, do some QA1s, lower it a bit, toss in some kickin' tunes, add a trailer hitch, air bags, fix the leaky windows, do a carpet kit, have my wife restitch the front seat and cruise it until I find another. I will probably not even paint it. It has a lot of patina, no rust requiring service. Already has a factory Posi, full instrumentation, tilt, power windows, seat, rear hatch, air, cruise and it all works, except the rear hatch and a retrofit for the A/C but that's easy. I just started in on some diagnostics today. It is a completely unmolested survivor. I'll clean it up, straighten out the paperwork and sell it. This thing is a really nice driver as is!

hey, hey, hey

a fine piece of machinery.

 

Sounds like a great find!

 

HaHa, **** the more I walk past it, the more it's growing on me! It may never leave....

 

Congrats!

Think you got a pretty nice wagon, especially for the price.
