Last Rear-Drive Malibu Wagon Seeks $17,900: Worth It to You?

In the Nice Price or No Dice segment, a 1981 Chevrolet Malibu wagon—the last rear‑wheel‑drive Malibu wagon—is listed on Facebook Marketplace for $17,900. The tidy, mid‑size wagon shows about 136,000 miles (driven roughly 150 miles daily), with a 350 small‑block engine (likely upgraded) and aftermarket tweaks including an Edelbrock intake, Holley carb, MSD ignition, and a newer aluminum radiator with dual electric fans. Power is routed through a 700R automatic to rear wheels. The seller says it runs and drives well, with a clean title, good A/C and heat, and updated interior/exterior touches. The piece highlights the rarity and appeal of a surviving RWD Malibu and questions whether $17,900 is a fair price for a vintage mass‑production cruiser, asking readers to vote Yes or No Dice.
