Steve,

That car is gorgeous! It could have a 6-banger and it would be desirable to me.

Congrats.

Turns out I know the previous owner of the '68 Malibu.

The original owner Paul W. Sr. purchased the car from Kozura Chevrolet in Tremont, Pa on 11/8/67. He previously owned a 1966 Chevelle and gifted it to his son Paul Jr., rather then trade it in. Paul Sr. was a coal miner and his everyday vehicle was a pick up truck. He only drove this car in good weather and into town 4 miles once a week and parked it in his garage.. He would also take it to Schach's auto service for its annual inspection. In 1988 the car was given to Paul Jr. The car was never licensed in Paul Jr. or his wife's name and was again stored in an attached garage. In 2013 Paul Jr. passed and his wife Mae decided to sell the car in 2014. She had the car sitting in the driveway and a passerby from the next town saw the car and purchased. The new owner had the car less than a year and a job transfer from PA to TX necessitated them selling the car. My understanding from Paul Jr's wife Mae is the car literally never left the town of Pine Grove, Pa and no one has ever sat in the rear seat. The car was subsequently purchased by Mike B. and he contacted me a couple of months ago about the car. Last weekend I took a ride and within 5 minutes I purchased the car. Most of you have seen the Vintage Certification program that I manage, and we typically spend 3 hrs per car, well when all the pieces fit and there are no red flag a glance is all it takes.

This is the first non performance car I've owned and also the lowest mileage and most original. Yes it was love at first site and I'm thrilled and honored to own the car and thank Mike for giving me the opportunity to own the car.
