1980 MALIBU CLASSIC

 

*** This car has been SOLD ***

Due to my landlord not wanting me to do the work in her driveway or garage.  That is why I bought my 85 LT1 SS

If you are looking for any of the parts that I accumulated just email me and I'll send a more complete list


 

This WAS my other g-body, a 1980 Malibu Classic.  When I bought this car it was dark blue with a blue interior with a bench seat, stock 305 4bbl to a th250 with highway gears and completely stock, as it rolled off the showroom floor!

Right now the drivetrain is stock, but more on that later, the suspension has been upgraded to a 87 SS steering box, a complete MOOG frontend, 1 5/16" front swaybar with polyurethane front swaybar/endlink bushings, tint and taillights from an 83 Malibu with a sport stripe.  Since these pictures were taken I have readded the chrome around the taillights and 15" 5 stars from an 84 Z-28.

I completely changed the interior.  The seats are from an 84 Z-28, console and dashboard from a Monte, lower panels from a Regal, steering wheel from a 91 S-10, electric windows, reupholstered the rear seat to match the fronts, new rug, header panel from an Eldorado.  I have a MC SS steering wheel going in, the current wheel is too large for my taste and I prefer the Montes (with a leather wrap).

As I type this, there are plans for a 350, with a TPI, to a 700r4 to a MCSS posi rear awaiting this car.  I already have the rear, tranny and the upper end of the engine.  My plan is to get the ZZ4 short block and add my heads and other components.  There will be more on this soon.  I will include these pictures on my site as the upgrades appear.
