1979 Chevrolet Malibu Classic review from North America
"Excellent"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The seats are a bit worn.
The rear window has a slight leak.
The carpet needs replacing as a result of the leak.
Other than that everything is in excellent condition.
General comments?
I replaced the original engine for a bigger more peppy one.
The car is still excellent on gas.
It handles like a new car.
People stop and stare when they hear me coming because the engine is a little louder (by choice of course). The rims I recently put on the car gives it that sparkle it needed to make it stand out just a little more. I get offers almost everyday to buy my car.
