Malibu wagon vent windows

[85ss/85gn]

Have a 81 Malibu wagon manual transmission 3 speed. Parting out a 79 malibu 4 door. Been looking can I remove the vent windows on the wagon and install the rear windows from the 4 door?

Nope, wagon window opening is taller than the sedan, and the window frame rear leg is at a different angle

There was one for sale in Pgh. Less than 2 years ago. Factory 3spd.

Floor shift or three-on-the-tree?

Manual trans was standard equipment through the 1981 Malibu run with base engines. It was floor mounted, and not all engines were available with manual transmissions. Autos became standard for the 1982 model year.

I remember a black on black 4 speed 79 wagon running around town when I was fresh out of high school in 79, it was a rarity even then.

No stick wagons for California, though...base or optional

That would explain it. Been in CA for most of my life except college.
