Re: 1969 Malibu 4 speed 3.31 posi 22k orig miles
I've seen plenty of low mile cars that have been restored. It is not what I would have done but many people want new shiny looking cars and don't appreciate patina. Shiny sells at Barret-Jackson. Didn't a killer unrestored benchmark LS6 Chevelle get restored and have stripes added before it went to Barrett-Jackson ? I wonder if it brought more money.

To my knowledge it did not get restored it only had the stripes added which in just about everyones opinion really hurt the cars value.
