I recently picked up this rare 4 door Chevelle Malibu from the prior owner of 12 years. He had intentions of doing a full restoration but never got around to it - but he did replace the engine and transmission during his ownership. The original 289 was replaced with a rebuilt 350. The original 2 speed powerglide was replaced with a TH350 - 3 speed. Both have about 10,000 miles or less on them. The engine and transmission work great - car runs and drives nice with plenty of power. The body is very straight - no known accident history. There are some rust areas as noted but no structural issues - floor and rockers are clean and dry. The doors open and close with ease - door locks match original ignition key and all work as designed. The interior is very acceptable but does have flaws. The dash has a center crack and part of the rear headliner is hanging down. Radio is aftermarket and works. I still have the original radio which will be included. I have most records since the mid 1980's - also included are the original manuals and Protect-O-Plate. For those in CA, registration is current through April 2018. Clear Ca title. The great thing about this car is it looks cool as is and can be enjoyed without having to do anything immediately to it. Fresh Oil change done. The car is being offered with a very low reserve. If you have any questions or want to come check it out, just call. I can be reached at (661)203-8472. The car is in North San Diego County.
