Re: Any thoughts on the B-J auction...?
When our cars were ordered, the dealer wasn't exactly sure what was coming. We weren't even sure which 427 the cars would be coming with. By the COPO option price, we knew that it wasn't an L88 or ZL1. As for what body trim the car would have, we just didn't know until the cars arrived. I would think that the Malibu trim was just a factory office scheduling snafu. The trim package would have been scheduled prior to the start of manufacture so that the people in the body shop would drill all the holes and add all the trim studs. They would have no idea as to what drivetrain would be going into the car. I wonder if these Malibu trimmed cars were early COPO production? The VIN isn't shown on the B-J 1013.1 listing.
