I sometimes wonder where people get these crazy "facts" that they peddle
"
1981 CA MALIBU, FROM NEAR MALIBU BEACH, CA WHERE MALIBU'S ARE NAMED AFTER. LAST 2DR YEAR, BECOMING QUITE DESIRED AND THE FAVORITE OF COLLECTORS FOR THIS STYLE. THE ONLY YEAR WITH A CHROME GRILL.
VELOUR BUCKET SEATS (SS) WITH CONSOLE, VERY RARE, HAD TO BE SPECIAL ORDERED AS ALL 2DR'S WERE BEING PHASED OUT. UNLIKE A BENCH SEAT CAR, THE PASSENGER BUCKET SEAT OF THIS BOLTS FURTHER UP TO MAKE EASIER ACCESS OF GETTING IN THE BACK - THE EASIEST WAY TO KNOW IF A TRUE (SS) SINCE EMBLEMS OF WERE NOT ALLOWED BECAUSE CHEVY WAS PUSHING THEIR MORE PROFITABLE CAMARO DESIGN.
73K ACTUAL MILES, RUNS & DRIVES GOOD. HAS TILT, WORKING CRUISE, PS, PB, AM-FM, AC THOUGH NEEDS WORK AS WELL AS BLOWER MOTOR, ALL ORIGINAL FACTORY TINTED GLASS.
V8 ENGINE #S IN THE CAR SHOW IT TO BE EITHER '81 4BL 350 OR ROLLER CAMMED '79 267. IT'S CLEAR TO SEE IT HAD BEEN A 4BL INTAKE FROM A LITTLE SILICONE SHOWING AT FRONT OF INTAKE BUT REPLACED WITH 2BL INTAKE & CARB SO INCLUDED WITH CAR IS A HI PERFORMANCE CHEVY 4BL INTAKE. NOW TAKE YOUR CHOICE WHICH TO SAY WHEN ASKED, THE BRAGGING RIGHTS OF AN '81 350, SAME YEAR AS CAR, OR MAYBE A '79 267 BECAUSE OF THE 22 MPG, ALTHOUGH IT RUNS SLOW ENOUGH WITH IT'S 2.41 GEARS TO BE A 350?
NEVER RACED, AND ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND THAT'S NOT BEEN. THESE LAST STYLE CHEVELLES MAKE EXTREMELY GOOD DRAG & CIRCLE TRACK RACE CARS WITH THEIR VERY COVETED & NOTORIOUS FACT OF BEING THE LIGHTEST FULL FRAME CAR EVER MADE WITH A BACK SEAT!
COULD USE SOME MINOR IMPROVEMENTS INCL. DASH PAD, WINDSHIELD AS HAS SMALL DISCONTINUING CRACK IN CORNER, ETC. NO FRAME, FENDER OR FLOOR RUST ALTHOUGH WEAK ON THE UNDERNEATH OF A DOOR."
It actually looks like a decent car, but the BS factor would make it hard to keep my mouth shut.
