Okay guys, March was dedicated to four doors only and was a little surprised when we only had two submission. You guys picked Oldsmoletick and his four door Malibu as the winner with 57% of the votes.
Congratulations Oldsmoletick!!
Little about the car;
81 malibu classic, I purchased it 11 years ago (my first ride), originally had a 229 V6, been through a couple engines, transmissions, and rear ends since, lol. Car was involved in a deer incident back in 02, which did a bit of damage to the roof (still isn't right 😳 ). It sat for 2 years, while I rounded up parts to fix it, then spent 04-spring 08 in primer, Painted it over the summer (came out kinda crappy though) back to the factory green.
The current engine:
77 olds 350 shortblock rebuilt with an rv type cam, stock rebuild on 1970 heads ("6") samll valve, edlebrock carb (temporary) and intake, hedman headers, stock ignition currently, had msd but the box crapped out :x .
The current transmission:
Chevy TH350 longtail, I built it for a friend of mine, B&M transpack, 2100 stall, homemade BOP adapter, nothing special, he owed me money, and I needed a transmission, so I took it on trade, lol.
8.5 Rear with 3.73's round up the driveline.
Wheels are 15x7 Olds SSIII's that I picked up for cheap on the side of the road.
Suspension is all stock, minus the F41 rear bar that I added, along with the frame/body braces, and poly body mounts.
Interior is an abombination :lol: ;
Buick Regal Dash (malibu dash was another victim of the deer hit), olds acheiva buckets mounted to g body rails, AMC/Jeep steering wheel, Olds/Hurst quarter stick combination shifter (I was pickled and bored when I came up with the idea
).
The main idea behind it, was to build a fun and reliable car by using whatever I happen to stumble across for as little money as possible, even if said parts weren't natural to the car or other components, lol. Up until I painted it, I was going for like a modern day ratrod thing, hahaha.
Thanks to all who participated in this month's GBOTM, we'll keep you posted with the category for the upcoming month...maybe it will be the one that your ride fits into.
Congratulations again to Oldsmoletick
