A buddy of mine has a 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9 for sale.  60K original miles with the biggest gas V8 Mercedes ever produced and well under your price cap.  Includes 1-3 spare hood ornaments, original tool kit and car cover as well as a current parts catalog.

If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.

your kidding :o  the specialists near me do a regular 60k/6yr major service on a turbo for about £800 inc aircon, brake fluid, plugs and all the other usual stuff. iirc even OPCs do it for less than £1k ...

over here, we pay much more, simply due to the name. i've paid over $700 for an audi cat assembly that shouldn't have cost more than 200-300.

Hey Holmes, how much for a 60k/6yr major service on a Cadillac around the corner from you?  :noid  :devil

My 83 Camaro has a pretty hot 355 in it... Just dropped a T56 6 speed in, and have built the suspension over the past year. I give my Audi friends a run for their money through the twisties. A very under appreciated, wonderful handling V8 equipped car.






I get 23-24mpg highway with the 6 speed... Yes it is carbed... has a Holley 600cfm DP

Worked all day yesterday and didn't get a chance to take any photos, but i took some today.

I was lazy and had the camera set on auto and with the sun position, most of the pics were flooded out with light. I'm going to take new photos tomorrow if i get a chance though.

At the dealer. My old beat up Cavalier next to the Malibu. Taken with my iphone

Today

Dash, The orange is more of a rust color. When editing it, it changed to more orange.


The best part... the Chevy Grill

Some others


Who will win?

Nice ride. That should serve you much better than where you originally started looking.

that is a gorgeous car. you'll more than likely never get tired of driving it.

 the cavalier you traded in didn't actually look too bad either.

Thanks. Ya it probably will. I sat in the back for the first time today when I was showing my little cousin it and was amazed at how much room there actually is back there. I'm six foot tall but still had almost 6 inches in front of my legs. And the trunk is HUGE, though it doesn't look like it would be from the outside. At least it didn't to me.

There is only one thing I don't really like about the Malibus and that is the driver's dash. The panel seems to look like an after thought and not a part of the overall picture. I wish it flowed into the main dash better.

Thanks Cap. Today I drove around 15miles to "just drive it".

The Cav... Lol... Well it's biggest issue was rusting. The frame was nearly completely rusted out in some spots. The doors were rusting at the bottom and the hood was rusting at both corners from where some truck backed into it at Walmart and for where I hit a deer about 2 years ago. To shut the trunk, I had to tie a string g to the latch that should have been attached to the rear number because that part of the bumper had rusted away and the lid would not grab the latch otherwise. The engine was also starting to go out on it and it was starting to have over heating issues.

It could have had the work done to it to keep it running, but why spend all the money to have have it running when I could get a newer and much better car that will last me a long time. Is final odometer reading for me was 206,858 miles.


It had one last stand though before making it to the dealer. I went to my sister's house before going to the dealer since she was only 10 minutes away from the dealer... It was raining and overcast when I left my house and was still relatively dark for being 9:30, so i had my lights on, as its state law for rain. By the time I got to my sisters, it had cleared up. I parked and went in for about 2 hours.

At 11:30, I went out to start getting the last few things out of the car before I left for the dealer at 12. I walk out and my doors wouldn't unlock with the electric lock. So I was like WTH and unlocked it with my key. I put the key in the ignition to start it and get the windows down and nothing... SONOFABI*CH! Dead battery. Luckily, my sister had a set of jumpers in her trunk that I was able to use to get it going.
