The org fan belt is in the trunk. What would you guys value this car at in its present condition. I just recently saw two restored LS5's sell for $52,500 and $53,500.

Also, for an Atlanta built car, where should I look for a build sheet?

I've always found Atlanta buildsheets in either front door panel.

----Im going a bit by memory here but Im pretty sure Red Alert had Malibu door panels too. Also my old LS5 convert. Very nice low content LS6. Appears to be a no radio car as well as the antenna hole is in way wrong position. I believe I would do a bit of selective restoration much as Jake stated. Mostly aimed at stopping further deterioration......Bill S

WOW! back away from the car.

I love it. Go with some of the suggestions mentioned prior but please use some restraint.

Just my opinion (as most others are offering), but I'd do some serious, careful clean-up on the car and enjoy it as-is. Many of us would be all over this car to check out all the 'original, unmolested patina'. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

And BTW, the MALIBU door panel badges are very common on '70 SS cars. Mine has them too.
