    An engine that doesn't exist, from the wrong brand (although that isn't so bad), trashed interior (house carpet I see?) including some sort of damage to the steering column, and a price that's way off based on the above.

    Appears to be parked in a trailer court. I would imagine $750 in fifties would get you the car but bring a friend in case this deal goes sideways.

    Chevy made a 360 Hemi? Maybe $3k is to cover its rarity.

    I think there was a big block GMC truck motor in the early 70's with knuckle heads that was a 360. The hemi part is where my train wreck occurred.

    Its true that an M715 doesn't have a real vin number, other than that who knows though.

    in this area, that Malibu just might bring that kind of money if it runs, has a clear title, and isn't rusted out. personally, i think it's maybe a $1000 car if i was looking to buy it, but i'm not a big fan of Malibus from that time period.

    In reply to dean1484:

    This is just a guess but I believe you're thinking of the 366 cubic inch Chevrolet big block. It was only in truck.

    Crack pipe price for a beater Malibu is a regular occurrence around here. No motor and trans = $1000. Rusty w/o go stuff is sub 1K.
