1976 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Classic from North America - Comments

Hi everyone -- For all you people asking about where to find parts. I have fourteen 73 to 76 Chevelle's (2 door, 4 door, Malibu's, Laguna's) and 6 Elky's from the same years that I'm parting out. Also have one 73 SS project that I will only sell as a whole unit.

Rust Free Wyoming cars that I saved from the crusher last year when the prices were high. Unfortunately two got away -- but I can't save all the puppies in the pound either.

Maybe I can help with the OEM parts you need. Think of the off the wall stuff. I don't have any dashes, posi's or the hard to find 1/4 window trim. Just interior parts, exterior molding, some body parts, floor pans, trunk pans, roofs, glass, mirrors, frames, suspension, axles, etc.

21:11 you simply rebuild. I just helped restore a 57 Corvette, a parts donor, a mess, but it can be done.

Mine is a 76 Malibu Classic two door. It was a real one owner granny car. Always garaged. Only 39,000 original miles. The black interior is just like it came from the showroom.

First order of business after driving it home 90 miles has to be the suspension... it's comfy but kind of like riding in a boat... LOL

Bought new shocks with springs attached and plan to set them at the original ride height.

Keeping it all original on the exterior...ie; sleeper.

Going old school on the engine except for AFR 210 cc heads. Just couldn't justify the price of the old double humps, rebuilt.

Duals, BFG G FORCE SPORT tires, size, 225/60R/15.. they are less than $100.00 each and are V rated!!!

Also, going with a dual plane intake with an old AFB 650 I have been holding onto.

Can't decide on the transmission.. prob wind up with a built 700 R4 for fuel economy.

The finishing touch is a Duntov 30/30 camshaft from the fifties... it has an incredible lope and I used to run this GM stick in my race cars (there are two, but the high lift is the good one).

Same problem as everyone else with small parts. Namely the trim for the 1/4 window... gonna try a jeweler and see if he can make two for me although I only need one.

Going to remove the vinyl top and the paint shop says they can spray with a semi gloss and get a similar effect. If I don't like it then I can just replace the black vinyl.

Oh, and mine has factory A/C, a huge plus here in the Piedmont area of Georgia.

Well that's about it for now.. other than to mention the car is factory yellow and that won't change.

Cheers,

Sam.

I'm wanting to know what a 2 door 76 Malibu Classic is worth? Needs a paint job, but runs great, nothing wrong with the car, it's in good condition.
