1979 Chevrolet Malibu Classic review from North America

"One of the most under rated cars of all time"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Replaced all the heater hoses which was expected for a car this year.

Replace broken door hinge from people leaning on the door.

Replaced worn out door latch striker a result of the broken door hinge.

Engine is starting to burn oil.

Factory clock is not working probably a bad ground if you hit a bump it works momentarily.

General comments?

I love these cars, they are one of the few cars from the late seventies that are desirable. It has very aggressive lines if the stance is set correctly.

I am always complimented on the car now that I fixed the rust and installed new rear springs. The chrome five spoke rims make it look very aggressive.

The interior is a little worn the drivers side bucket seat is cracking. Other than that I have no problems with the car. Although it is a little lacking in the power department with the 267 a four barrel helped it a bit.

The car has never let me down it has always started when I needed it to.

It is soon to have a 350 installed because the 267 is very weak. I really do love these cars. I had been looking for a two door Malibu for over 3 years till I found this one and want more of them.
