Rear differential: new 9” with new ring and pinion plus new seals. Optima 120 amp 1 wire front floor pans: new right and left floor insulation kit: new – see picture in photo section carpet: new remanufactured factory replacement car cover: new – covermates car cover- fitted for 1964 malibu coupe. The body and paint in the attached photos are exactly the same as the day i bought the car, so my opinion at that time was that no frame off restoration and modification was needed. I did, however, at the end of all the work, spend a fair amount to have the paint receive a soft sanding and then a buff and polish which brought it up to an incredible shine. Friends say it looks show-room new. My main goal in buying the car was to turn it into a top flight american muscle car using the best “all new” parts i could find, as the list above demonstrates. Basically, everything under the hood and body is new, except for the gas tank. All work was done by schrader’s speed and style shop in azusa, california. I do have a new original parts group, in the box, red rear deck replacement that i will send along so new owner can decide which way he/she wants to go. So why am i selling the car after all the time and money i‘ve invested? Because two months ago i stumbled upon my dream resto/mod – a 1955 chevy bel-air two-door hardtop survivor car. This is the car that during my high school years the guys with money would buy used, hot rod the motor, install lowering blocks in the back and heat the front coil springs to rake the car in the front. And all i could do was stand and watch as they drove by with a pretty girl in the passenger’s seat since that kind of car was way above anything i could afford at the time. But now i can afford it. However, my new 55 bel air restoration/modification is absolutely a frame off project so sadly i’ll need to sell the malibu because my spouse says “one big muscle car investment at a time.” truthfully this malibu will now be someone else’s gain as this incredible car is fresh and ready to go. And trust me; it is a real head-turner. People—even firemen driving to an emergency-- have stared and given me a thumbs up when passing by. Known issues needing attention: fuel guage faulty, amp guage disconnected because of high amperage output of new alternator, wiper replacement motor works but not the wipers yet, radio nobs missing, chrome film peeling off in a few small spots on body side mouldings. in conclusion: there is no warranty implied or expressed. I’m not a dealer, just a private american muscle car enthusiast. The car is as represented above, to the best of my knowledge. There’s no conscious misrepresentation what-so-ever. Feel free to have an expert examine it before buying or just speak with mr. Schrader, who's shop performed all the work.
