I used Plycar carriers for the first time and just had the car picked up by Plycar carriers and it arrived within a week at 40% less than the other carriers.

Steve,
I find a few of those photos particularly interesting because of my research into 61-64 passenger cars. Some plants installed the lower trunk latch before the trunk spatter paint and some after, in which case it's just a bare plated piece along with the bolts. Also some plants installed the cardboard insulation panel behind the rear seat before trunk spatter was shot and some after. I only have 15 different plants to research so it's an <span style="font-style: italic">easy job</span>......... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/cry.gif[/img]

Thanks Darrell. I hope to photograph the car in the same manner as you've done. It won't be necessary for me to disassemble, at least that is my plan....

Re: Unrestored Car/ Survivor- Wanted
 

Very nice Steve...

By chance did you mean Plycon? I just used them twice within the last month. Excellent service. Value was unmatched by all other majors players.

Plycon is the corporation, but the car transportation division is Plycar. Here's the website:

I cant see the car needing much preservation.. Not much can happen to a car that is garaged with only 5400 miles.. The green car has almost 69K.

Unfortunately both father and son have passed and his wife had no further documentation then what I had posted. She is in her upper 80's and rather not push her. She did tell me her husband never owned or cared about performance cars.

Re: Unrestored Car/ Survivor- Wanted
 

I saw the car at Mike B's before it was transported. The Malibu is an excellent example of an unmolested original car (regardless of the make or model). I know the old addage of &quot;they're only original once&quot;, and it is true, and this car is a perfect example of how these cars were built; not just the assembly, but paint, interior, weatherstrip, moldings, etc.

Re: Unrestored Car/ Survivor- Wanted
 

Could be a total long shot but I thought this was just too cool not to post. I really hope it your car Steve...

Wow it's certainly a twin. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

Re: Unrestored Car/ Survivor- Wanted
 

I took a few more pics today. Also the information provided from the original owners son's, widow matches up with the last inspection sticker on 10/23/87 with a mileage 5,350. The car has been driven 145 in last 29 years. Also it looks like the lighter was never used.

Yikes - time warp car! Thanks for posting Steve.

----What a car, Steve! Just a bit curious about several of the fuses not having a color stripe. Do you think they were changed out for some strange reason?......Bill S

I believe the 20A are clear so they are ok, however the 25A should have a white stripe. These cars hold many mysteries and anomalies [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Absolutely amazing Steve. Nice car, great pix. A definite keeper.

Saw the car in the link below, and immediately thought of Steve's '68:

Link to 1968 Malibu 13,000 Miles

http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/95sAAO...e5/s-l1600.jpg

----WOW! Gorgeous color combo, and very, very nice. The engine appears to be fluffed to me. What do others think?.......Bill S

Just love the GM A-bodies :D Add a Post Sedan and You`ve GOT ME!

Dan

Definitely engine, master, manifolds, phosphated hinges, latches, pulleys now painted and other components. Still a great car, but someone wanted to make it "better".

----Just what I was thinking, Steve. If it had remained untouched under the hood as far as "detailing" goes I think I would have made an attempt to buy it. Would like to have had a car for the 50th in 2018 at MCACN!!!.......Bill S

I thought the 68 I had with 52K was something. This one puts it to shame. Has the look thats for sure.

Steve very nice also something about blue on blue great car foster

I was looking over my '69 vert yesterday and noticed this same marking....but I restored this car in '97!
How could that be??
Then I looked at the hood and noticed the hood bumper and the DUH moment hit me.....that's where the bumper lands on the cowl.

Steve, love your Chevelle! Is there any interesting paint marks on the frame in front of the rear wheels?
Dustin

very nice Steve always love these survivors foster v

Steve, great car and was told you were the lucky one. Hope to see at some point and wondering if you will bring it to MCACN at some point?

Found a pick of Kozura from the flood of '72....

Thanks for posting Marlin. I've added that pic to my 68 Chevelle history file!!!! :beers:
