Hey guys,
I'm posting this up for one of my good friends. The car is located out in the Hopatcong area. My buddy purchased this Malibu from the original owner as a drivable project in 2001. They completely rebuilt the suspension and brake system, and installed new body bushings. The car was painted in 2006 with the Corvette Grand Sport color theme (minus the fender stripes). At that time, the original bumpers were trimmed and tucked in toward the body. The shop welded in new floor pans, installed new door hinges, the Goodmark steel 2" cowl hood, and also grafted on ’88 Monte Carlo side view mirrors and an M-80 Malibu trunk spoiler. After paint, new window, door & trunk gaskets were installed. The interior was also completely restored and refurbished. This Malibu also has functioning air conditioning and heat - She’s a cruiser! It also comes with a Wolf car cover and whatever spare parts he has left.

He's asking $9,500 – a real bargain, considering what he has invested into it over the years. If interested, please contact Mike at nascar1999 (at) aol(dot)com

I also forgot to write in the original ad that the hood is a steel Goodmark 2" cowl hood. I just edited it to add that information in.
