1978 Chevrolet Malibu Classic review from North America
"The Bucket"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I replaced the alternator,& all of the front suspension (for the hydraulics).I added a shift kit on the transmission, for a firmer shift.But other than that I have never had any other problem's,even after all the abuse of hydraulic's.
General comments?
Even with all the weight of the hydraulics, the engine still drives strong. The "bucket" as all my friends call it, is a great running car and I don't think that I would ever sell it. And I've had plenty of offer's.I love my two door!
