I may have your buildsheet
 

Cleaning house at the office I came across several original 1970 Malibu buildsheets. If any of these VIN's match your car, prove it to me with a photo of your VIN tag and the sheet(s) are yours. Most of these I removed from cars I was restoring (not their sheet) or from junk yards so it is likely the cars do not exist anymore but what the heck, might as well try.

I recently located one of the cars that I have build sheets for (3) thanks to a fellow sYc reader. Be advised, if anyone is looking to purchase 136370K164226, it is NOT what it is being advertised at. I contacted the selling dealer and spoke to the actual owner of the car who is a salesman there and told him about the situation. He disassembled the car and then reassembled it after his friend restored it so he obviously knows what it was. I also sent him a copy of the build sheet. He stated he would take it under advisement though nothing has changed. lol Buyer beware.

Gah.

Why am I not surprised. Also not surprised they’ve had that car for sale for many months

This?

Did it start life as a 307 base malibu?

Yes it did, 200 hp 307 and Turbo 350. Now a 396 4-speed! If I am not mistaken the dealer still owns the car.

from their website advertising this MALIBU " Each vehicle in our amazing 70 car inventory is hand-picked and inspected by Nick or Dan with zero exceptions. Shiny paint and a detailed engine bays are not always a quality vehicle; each vehicle goes through a 100 point 30-hour inspection to ensure there are no surprises for the new owner"

30 HOUR INSPECTION WOW

Maybe someone should have done a 31 hour inspection!

Bill

Snake oil. 1 hour inspection. Give me a brake. I hate liars.
