1978 Malibu. I pulled it from a junkyard. Was rough, but my only car and I drove it everyday. Would like to have it back. It being rough I didnt care what I did to it, where as my car now I dont want to cut up.

This pic of my '80 regal was taken in Sept '97 at KCIR. I bought the car Sept '89 after I got back from basic training and eventually sold the car in '98 after I beat the snot out of it for 9 long years. The body was still in great shape. The frame not so much.

My fisrt G-Body was an 85 Grand National. My Uncle, who was a CPD Lieutenant, found out that one was on a police auction block. He fronted me a loan, and made the arrangements. Got it for $3,200 back in 90, with no backseat and a stripped column. I came out of a 7-11 and it was gone. I had it 9 days, and was waiting for my paycheck to insure it.

My first one was a '79 2 door Malibu w/ a 267 and that light yellowish/beige paint I've grown to hate. Sorry, no pic. Didn't have digital cameras back in '91.
