1969 Malibu 4 speed 3.31 posi 22k orig miles

Very neat car! Why did a 22k mile car need a resto in the first place, and why would someone spend the $$ restoring the car?

This car must have been worth more than half the current asking price prior to its restoration... and the resto must have cost more than half the current asking price? So with all due respect, what am I missing?

Missing is you....Where were you when it was for sale as an unrestored car? You should have jumped on it then! Probably too busy watching your hockey team loose to the Blackhawks!

Now is a chance to own it for much less than what it would have cost to buy it and have it restored.

While it was in great shape, it had some paint touch up over the years and it was a clean up project that went a bit further than the owners had expected. You know....one thing leads to another.......

You're right, where was I??? Although my Flames and your Blackhawks are about due for a rematch!

Unfortunately, the opportunity has passed. I would have rather owned it before it was restored... and paid $45k less what it cost to restore it.

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.

[SS427]

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.
