Hey Guys....Just thought I'd share a bit about my Malibu and how it got to where it is now. Here's the basics and how I got it. It is an 80 Bu, Runs and Drives with 305....only catch, interior needs alot of work, somewhere along the way it ended up with a Monte hood, and the previous owner sanded all of the paint off. I was looking for what I call a "fun car" and it seemed like this could fit the bill. A fun car to me is something i can wrench on, not put too much money in, but still fun to cruise and do smokey burnouts.
Anyway so here it is the day I brought it home. I traded my 97 s10 reg cab 2wd w/ 2.2l 4 cyl for it. I didn't need the truck anymore and it had over 200,000 miles on it so it seemed like a decent trade. It has a running 305 and th350 transmission. Motor didn't matter much to me because I just finished rebuilding another 305. Why a 305 you ask...we'll get to that later, let's just say its got some sentimental value. Anyway here's the pic, only good thing about the paint being sanded off is I could see how good of shape the body was really in...
