Five Years ago I noticed my elderly neighbor draging this car out of his garage and it was love at first site. It reminded me of my first car a 1970 Checy Malibu Convertable my mother passed to me when I was 16. It had been sitting there since 1981. All original-#matching 327motor-no dents- original. I offered him a price and within 2 hours went through it enough to drive it into my garage, jack/block it up 4 feet, and began to disassemble/bag/tag everything. After all, I've done about a dozen restos and 6 years in Auto School in the late 70's early 80's and needed to get this one out of my system. Labor intensive love helped take it to bare metel, fresh quarters, best primer, original 1 stage paint. The frame/bottom was sandblasted, wirewheeled, chemically treated and painted. Tank was clean and gage works so I just replaced gasline. New springs shocks brakes control arms tyrods heatercore timingchain waterpump fuelpump mastercylinder relays hoses Rebuilt the radiator ect, ect. I have receipts and the original bill of sale/build sheet/window sticker yet I don't have a title. Was going to send it in when I was finished with the build. Got too busy and the car has sat in my garage for 2 years. Every now and then I drive around the neghborhood hoping the cops dont catch me. The car needs 1)an exhaust 2) a top 3) front seat cover and thats about it! I bought an exhaust yet it dosn't fit. Electric top works and I have the glass. Front cover where you sit has a hole. The rest of the interior is nice with no dents/tears in the dash. Radio works, heater motor, horn, all lights even the buzzer for the key. Original paperwork says it's an SS. Body is straight , paint beutiful yet I noticed the hood now has 2 small areas of bubbling. Deal comes with a fresh gallon of paint, original hubcaps even the bais plie tires if you want them. Chrome missing in photo is in the trunk. Welcome to come and check it out. Very low reserve-$500 deposit within 24 hours after Auction/balance within 7 days questions?

(don't ever have your wife help you list items) My wife gave me the Serial # off the paperwork instead of the vin for the listing. The good thing is I have researched more about the car and have much more info for anyone looking at this listing. For anyone interested I will send you photos of 1)The vin # 2) the body tag 3)the engine tag 4) the original paperwork where you'll also see how the serial # is on one of the forms and we made the honest mistake of putting it where the vin # should be. I also have photos of the Trunk, Trunklid, more interior and underside shots of the car. Just send me your E mail and I will send you jpegs. The correct Vin is 164678J186231 The moter tag is 18J186231 TI228HF The body tag has to many #'s/letters so send me your E mail address and I'll send photos. Thanks Joe
