1976 Chevrolet Malibu Classic review from North America
"I love her, she's irreplaceable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Right tail light melted due to improper exhaust placement.
A/C quit prior to ownership.
Heat vent flap cable seized (impossible to find).
Original radio barely has sound.
General comments?
76000 miles and finally parked, I'm replacing the 305 with a custom 427sb, and the 350 turbo trans with a Tremek T56. I'm also quad mounting a Detroit Locker 3:73.
I'll most likely keep the original color (red), a new coat of course, and replace the white vinyl top, which would still be in good shape if a horse hadn't taken a bite out of it.
I'm also finding it hard to find replacement interior vinyl in white.
