Man oh man Brian, you have enough projects to keep busy for years! Is the new one rust-free?

No sir, but very solid. The worst is around the rear window, and it needs a deck lid. Floors are 99.9% rust free. Very complete car, 307/powerglide, ps & ac. Atlanta built car, butternut yellow.

Bought it to flip, but if I can't get what I want... it stays.

My first Chevelle was a 307, powerglide , 68 Malibu. I put a 350/4 speed in it right away. After getting way too many tickets, close to losing my drivers license, I sold it to my brother and bought a 72 Ford econoline van. The van was my first brand new vehicle.

Tony, I have some 350s laying around and a rebuilt M20.

Flash, it's a s****y green now. But the door jambs and underside of the deck lid are the original color.

It is. Around the rear window is the worst area. But, they make everything now. The dash has some rust at the base of the windshield too. The floors are very good.

What is strange, my 69 had a vinyl top - but is nearly rust free around the rear window. The floors are rough though compared to the 68.
