    Daily driver/beater candidate

    This is the car I found locally. Typical rust for New England but nothing major. Floors and trunk are mint. 50k mile one owner car. It's a 3.8 with a/c. Been 25 plus years since I had a Malibu but I'd really like another just to drive on occasion. I've seen full quarter panels from OPG but are...

    My fairly complete 3.8 to SBC 350 swap parts list!

    I'm eying a v6 81 Malibu. Considering pulling a 350 out of an 81 Caprice and just making things simple. What's involved?

    I hear that. Again, just looking for a driver/beater. I figured if I love the car it's a good candidate for a small block swap. Still rather have a cutlass but there's nothing comparable for the money.

    Daily driver advice

    I found a couple candidates. There are a few Cutlasses that fit the bill nearby all running n the 2-4 grand range for a decent car. However, I stumbled upon an 81 Malibu coupe the other day. 53k miles, one owner little old man. The body is straight as an arrow and the interior is like brand new...

    Daily driver advice

    It's been 20 years since I owned a g-body and I have the urge for another one. I'm just looking for something to commute 80 miles once or twice a week. Not looking for a hot rod, just a nice Cutlass to cruise. I have an all wheel drive van for winter so this is just a fair weather car. My...

    78-80 Monte Picture Thread

    I just dug out some old photos and found a picture from 1991. At the time I had four G bodies. The two pictured were an 80 Monte with bucket seats and Landau roof. That one had all the power options, tilt wheel etc. Also had the maroon 78 that was as plain-jane as they come. Both V8 cars. I...
