Hi...new member on forum..

Hi..I guess as I am asking questions in the Malibu forum I should say hi. I am new to Malibus and look forward to learning lots from the site.

I have two Malibu Classics; a 78 and a 81. The 78 is pretty much completed as a mild street ride with about a 250-275hp 305/TH-350/10 bolt Posi setup. The 81 will be restored to pretty much original status execpt dropping in a stock 305 in place of the tired 267.

I see a couple of people have posted pics so I will post one of each of my Malibus. More pictures can be found at http://jose.tzo.net/Auto/index.html

Thanks all
Ron

thanks but...

the 81 is not so clean and needs a substancial amount of work. I'm trying to get my 14 y.o interested in helping me out. Maybe if I "riced" it and put a PS3 and an LCD in so he could play guitar hero in the garage I might have a chance.

As for the 350, I just want the 81 to be stock so I can run collector plates on it. It saves about 1300/yr in insurance costs. That *might* pay for the gas the 78 uses.

get the Collector's plates 1st, then make Mods after u pass emissions testing. where i live u only have to go to Emissions testing once for the life time of u owning the car. =)

Both are clean, but I like the 81. Just something about stock look I like.
