Either it's a California 350 SS or someone did a dash swap. More leaning towards dash swap but could have been optioned that way.

I'd say dash swap with the Malibu badge and top fender chrome...
C'mon Mitch, all it needs is a couple of fenders, quarters, trunk lid, oh.... I guess it would become a frame off.

The tach dash was an option on Malibu models too. With the standard 3 speed and bucket option without console, it could easily be an original special order car. Be interesting to see if it was spec'd with the 300 hp 350 too.
By the pics, I could probably save the roof....

Does it look like the rear bumper has the rubber insert? Could show up on TC in a week as another LS6 mystery car. Didn't some of the early LS6 cars have some Malibu trim?

If a car was ordered with gauges instead of idiot-lights, it came with the round gauge dash.

I also noticed what looks like adhesive left behind from what could have been an SS bumper pad. I think its a neat car if all that stuff is factory. Especially if its a manual trans with factory buckets w/o console. That gold color looks sharp when you see them restored. It might be the camera angle but that 350 embelem on the fender looks way to low to me.

It has Malibu trim so it was never was a SS. Im betting it is paint code 58 not a bad color with black strips. I saw this the day it went up Im amazed it's not sold. The frame must be bad or its worse than It looks
Not on CL or Evilbay, but here it is for $2500: http://www.reachoo.com/ads/195050790
It's on cl in Eau Claire, WI
It's a bomb !!!
