Just picked up a '79 malibu, v8 a/c car with no engine for WAY cheap. Installing a
Decent small block (300hp or so). Getting old so the a/c is going back in!. Very lucky in that there is no rust, no landau top ever (no rust!!). All exterrior trim is in great shape. The car was spray painted black-over the straight factory maroon. Actually, not a bad thing-it is thick and has protected the metal well-more sanding though. Got a plan: GM never made a Malibu SS. I want to build what I think they should have built:
For now-1986-1987 or so z-28 wheels, painted a medium gray metallic and matching SS stripes. If I can find one (HELP), m-80 rear spoiler. Ideas anyone?
