1980 Malibu factory 305 w/4 speed

[bikerlaw]

Hello and props to you for a bitchin' BU.....
Ha, it's not easy for a fat old bald guy to pick up on todays "cool guy" lingo.

All seriousness aside, that's a very cool, not to mention RARE Malibu.
I wouldn't own a car/truck with an automatic transmission, and your car is an outstanding example of a stick shift G-Body.
Be proud of her. Take care of her and she'll take care of you. Congrats sir.

Thanks.....not fat or bald here but old for sure......haha. yes pretty unique and odd car. Not super collectable but surely it's different than most, especially for those years.

On my car, it came with the steel wheels and the wire hub caps, according to the info that I got from Vintage Vehicle Services. I thought it was kind of strange too. Would have expected the rally wheels.

Yes, I'm waiting for a build sheet out of canada, will update with what they come up with.

Seeing that makes me wish I’d saved a 78’ Factory 4 spd cutlass my brother had. Guy that bought it probably crushed it after getting a couple parts.
Very sweet ride!!
