If they’ll sell it without the 17s, I might have to go check this out. It does look quite clean, although the price is low enough I’m a bit suspicious. Also it’s like an hour away, which is mildly annoying. I should probably lowball that e28 instead though.

Honestly, the price seems about right. Nobody wants to mess with the 267 V8s, relatively few people want G-body wagons, and it’s pretty much a base model car (crank windows, no A/C, manual locks, etc). If they’re willing to sell it without the 17s I’d recommend checking for frame rot out back, as the wagon rear rails are NLA, IIRC.

‘Needs a third pedal’ but your out here looking at automatic 80s era sex wagons.
And don’t even try to deny that sex-having didn’t happen in there. Look at it. Facilitating sexual encounters and dealing with the biological consequences are pretty much the only reasons giant ‘murican wagons exist at all.

Oh are they that undesirable an engine? Yeah I’ll definitely check the frame if I do end up looking at it, I want nothing with sketchy frame rust.

Yeah I look at a lot of automatic American things for needing someone manual again. That said, I’m getting my friends truck in the spring and it’s a 5 speed.
And yeah.....you’re not wrong.
This one might have had less sex in it. The wood looks uncomfortable.

So ~2250 USD, engine is far from a gem, has some patina issues - maybe not CP but not a huge bargain, maybe a fair deal. These aren’t seen much anymore. Would look good on rally wheels.

My dad had one of these when I was a kid with a 350. It was amazing. Made some great noises.

They just have a really tiny bore and a long stroke. They also only came with the Dualjet, so they’re absolute dogs. Everyone who wants to build up something with a 267 just drops in a 350.

Googling “Malibu shark nose” did not help me know what you mean

Oh...that’s disappointing. I emailed the guy, he’s already getting several people wanting it for full price anyways, so I’m out.
