1970-1972 Chevrolet Chevelle/Malibu Convertible Project

Price: - Item location: Reno, Nevada, United States
Description:

1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Convertible

This is a 1972 Chevelle Convertible Body on a 1972 Malibu Convertible Frame. There is clear California title designating this as a 1972 Malibu Convertible (1D67H2K)
I purchased the Convertible body and frame as a project for my shop. My vision has been to build a 1970 Chevelle SS Convertible clone in the Pro-Touring style, with substantial performance upgrades. I cannot get to this project in the foreseeable future due to heavy backlog, so I am offering the project to a competent shop or individual. You will most likely need a quality donor car to complete the project.
This car was a high quality show car. The body was sideswiped at a car show nearly 3 years ago. The car has a CLEAR unrestricted title, NOT A SALVAGE TITLE.
To facilitate speedy and cost effective repair after the collision, the prior Owner purchased a convertible Malibu donor vehicle and swapped the Malibu body onto to his undamaged Chevelle frame along with all mechanical and interior parts.
Most of the collision damage to the Chevelle body is at the driver-side B pillar. The Driver-side rear quarter, rocker and B pillar will need to be replaced in whole or part. There is mild damage to the cowl door mount which can be repaired. THERE IS NO RUST ON THE VEHICLE OR FRAME.
