1978 Chevrolet Malibu Classic Landau review from North America
"It's a keeper"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear of the chassis rusted out.
Heat riser ticks.
Gas tank rusted out.
Transmission blew in 2003.
Surface body rust.
General comments?
All around great car.
Has been in my family since new- Most reliable vehicle we've ever owned, aside from the small problems like the rear of the chassis rusting out and the tranny going.
