$15 tops. And not fast in this economy.

There’s a ton of unfinished project cars for sale right now with more to come this summer.

I dont see anything special to dictate a high price.

Average paint, not an eye catching color. Pretty average engine. Run of the mill rims. Etc.

It’s just an passive chevelle that still needs a TON of work. He thinks he is going to break even after buying all those parts. Not likely.

The Chevelle came in different trim levels. Malibu was one of them. Later on Chevy dropped the Chevelle name and soldiered on with the Malibu nameplate

That's why I said SS.....I believe Malibu was bottom of the trim package

He needs to list it on "bring a trailer" or FB Marketplace with a full list of parts he has and engine/Transmission/ rearend details. I don't think 15k is unreasonable, (might get a bit more) it's already well on its way to being restored/built.
He just needs the right audience, and I don't think Waguns is that audience.

You tried to help out a friend, and did so. Hope he sells it.

Ok, since the thread has gone comedic can I offer a partial trade of well used Glocks and a fish tank?

Crap, I'm probably going to get sent on vacation lol

I wish this car was a little bit more together. I'm looking at a project car that would take a few weekends of sorting things out. Versus this that may not get completed until after summer. I want something to cruise Fairwood in. Only need first gear. LoL
