Yes it's a Pinto, but it's got the look. I love that stripe and the slots. Badass.

Can't say that I've ever seen this particular year and model. I like it. Funky.

One of my friends parents had one of those. We used to sneak it out at night. Huge car. Interstate fast. No brakes to speak of by todays standards.

This seems cheap.

You have got to be freaking kidding me. There is nothing left to attach any repair panels to.

Did you see the part about no title? They must have got some good stuff, I want some.

No as I was laughing so hard I could not read on. That should be fed to a crusher.
As much as I hate to see old iron get crushed some of it needs to be.

There are some savable parts and pieces, but it's pretty far gone... '70 drop top is hard to find though, even if it is just a Malibu 350.

Agreed but if the trunk looks like that it is gone.

Anything can be fixed. How bad do you want it? Considering that you can buy that body brand new...

Well hell man why fool with a non-titled rust hole for way the hell to much money. Just buy the body.

Why fool around with trying to make a big old drop top Chevy fast? Because you can.

Well......if I had a post car it would be the same thing but I happen to have this drop.

If that Malibu had a title and was about $4000 cheaper, that's the kinda car my dad would buy just for the challenge of bringing it back. I've seen him do some pretty amazing stuff, not quite that bad, but his 59 Beetle was nearly that.

I've seen the bucket seat cores go for $400-500, console and shifter, the top frame has to be worth something. Probably worth about a 1000.
those grills on the back set are probably for the 69 next to it. wouldn't mind seeing some pics or that.

Well I can officially cross driving a first gen Z/28 with the original DZ 302 off my bucket list. This is the big boss mans car, I've been looking at it for 7 years, never had the opportunity to drive it. He's decided to sell it and said there would be something in it for me if I did it for him. Had some leaky rear wheel cyclinders which I replaced this morning, bled the brakes and put some fresh fuel in it. This is a fun car to drive!!! If anyone is looking for a decent driver 69 Z, this is a pretty good car. Not a show car, but a nice Z to take out and drive.
