I have an LS3 car also ,its a Canadian Documented Cranberry Red convertible car, Owner history , 80,000 mile car , white convertible top , white bucket interior, no console ,automatic, all original metal, drivetrain, born with, numbers matching,...just as it left the factory,....
But like many Malibu 400's was switched to look like an SS back in the early 1980's when a previous owner installed an SS dash and the Cowl induction hood.
I've been contemplating putting it back to stock looking , but it's such a great car to drive, I've left it this way for 10 years now...
I have a sweep dash and the hood,.....but MAN,....it looks pretty good

I'd think $50-60K would be about right.
I know this car from many years ago in our area.
Does the Baltimore buildsheet still have the perforated holes down one side?

As cool and rare as that car really is my guess is that it would struggle to bring any more money than a similarly equipped SS396 convertible of the same year.

Agreed, anybody that has six figures to spend on a car ain't buying a non-SS Malibu 'vert with an entry level big-block. Rare does not always equal desirable to deep pockets.

Push this one aside and bring it to R&amp;S next year.....sprinkle some of your magical dust on her ....and watch and see what happens <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

Tough one to call, but I feel a Chevelle collector would pay up to either ad to, or complete a well-rounded Chevelle collection. Can't be many of those around, much less a nice convertible stick in those colors. A &quot;C-Note&quot; doesn't buy what it used to, and depending on just how nice that car turns out, might end up being a fair purchase in that price range.

----Are we talking &quot;to buy&quot; or to sell? I'm with Rick on this one to buy. To sell, hopefully another ten....Bill S

[chevelleheart]

Yea, I'd agree, $50-$60 would be my guess,....they are pretty rare but i would have to agree with Tracker,...

The guy who owned this car along with some others died a few years ago and his brother was selling off the collection as a package.

I don't have any good pics of the car other than docs and the trim tag. Interesting car, great color combo, but needing total restoration.

I know who purchased the 7 car collection.....the '70 Chevelle LS3 is getting a complete Frame Off Resto <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif
