Neat car that has been for sale for some time. I'm guessing it would have sold had it been a more mainstream color combo.

Looks like a pretty well preserved example.

Looks like a GM zone employee car, might of been displayed or taken to dealers to show the BB chevelle. Nice company car.

I own a 1972 Malibu 400 (since 1987) and I've heard that same statement hundreds of times over the years at various car shows and cruise nights - even after I show people several real build sheets I've discovered in the car over the years. They are unusual for sure.

Cool piece. One of the prior owners must have had short arms,replaced mufflers as needed.
