german malibu wagon

[Longroof79]

It looks like a good turnout at the meet.
I think you'll have to find out what the proper fuel pressure is to run propane. It seems propane is cheaper to run than petrol.
But as you said, the tank doesn't hold as much..which equates to frequent fuel stops.

The baby Benz is pretty cool. It looks like it will shine up nicely. Nice body style.

Any old Porsches at the meet?

That's a nice 911, but I meant something earlier. Cars like 356's, 914's, etc..

Thanks for the pics, Andreas.
Nice Porsches. I heard that there's more 356's in the USA than there is in Germany. I think more of those cars were sold here than the fatherland.

The yellow 914 was sold years ago. The car is now in Germany owned by an employee of Volkswagen. I rebuilt both of those cars.

Any other Malibu statiowagons besides yours and the other guy's?

Danke schoen.

good morning,

i think in the time,the 356 was build,here in germany were not so many people
who had so much money,to buy one.
the 914 was not sold so much here,too much expensive,too much vw inside.
...not much other stations here.
at the meet by eastsea were 3 ,but the second was the one i have sold for a month

this one should be sold in the netherlands for nearly 3000$

it has a 5.7,not bad,but the paint - very bad

in the 90s were so many malibus parted out for spare parts for camaros + co.
so,not so much have survive

Hi,

I'm new on g-body and from Belgium, I'm doing a review of the Euro guys here and i found your post.
Nice car!
I know how hard it's to find parts, same problem!

Maybe we can do a GbodyEurope or somethings to share parts ressources, may be do commun orders...
They 2 or 3 guys in Belgium that are parting out old chevys.

Hope to see you on a meet some day!

See you...

... oh wow,another year go by

this year i have visited some meetings

make a trip through the desert :shock:

crashed by myself

used as a hotel

...someone should find and hit the gm man ,who has thought,it was a good idea to glue
rubber parts on the body

have change the headliner

have built another exhaust(loud pipes save lives)

the big lady found some playbuddies

some look very special

like the original look

lust summer heavy storm here,our tree cant stand...

my park lot was a lucky choice,the top of the tree hit the tailgate with the last inch.

my neighbor was not so lucky

the engine has reached his end time,massive oilsteam over 2500 rpm.
time to change.
someone offer me a 350,runs perfect,he think it was overhauled,super condition,blablabla.
so was the truth



so what to do-in usa i would buy a new engine,but what cost 1500 in america,will cost 3000 in germany.
so,close eyes and run
buyed some stuff

next shock - what the hell is this?

the 79 corvette block has TBI truck heads




after hours in internet,i know bad heads for power.
but heads with 64 chamber should not be more worst than the original smokeheads(so i hope)
i will try it,and than i will see.
i wish,i can go to the scrapyard and canput some vortec heads,like you guys.
last week i park my car and go to my housedoor.
hear some carnoise a bang and car drive away



some people said,that the banger has driven next street and they have heard another crash noise.
after hit some trafficsigns the driver have thought,running is better then driving and so he did

oh,i have build a new shoe cabinet

found some stuff

it will be a ton of work this winter,
but i love it
