79-81 Malibu... am i nuts?

[MaxHarvard]

I just about bought one last night... solid body, PS AC, PW PB, good interior... it ran... $1000.

Am i nuts?! I think they could/would make a badass G-machine.

I have been looking at that body style for a while I think that those bodys would look sweet with a little very little work. Post a picture!

well i AM officially nuts... i just bought one, 1980 malibu. first thing i did was to call ATS and buy a set of spindles (the last set in stock) global west negative roll upper and lower front controll arms with del-alum bushings, currie track rear controll arms, 1-1/4'' front 1'' rear roll bar. GW-S16 springs and eibach shocks... and 13 inch brakes.. about quadroupeling the cars value... it still needs paint, turbos and interior (im shipping it off to poland for two tone paint and full leather in a weeks time)

i say go for it... i did


here is a "before" pic... named it project G-Force BTW (i thought why should only the unreachable projects have cool names??)

Was it a 2dr or a 4dr? Either way I would have bought it, but I know I am nuts .

I say go for it. Check out Pro-Touring.com and type in G-body. You'll see you've made a wise decision if you buy it. Plus there are plenty of upgrades you can do to make them perform better than stock. If you need more convincing, go to MalibuRacing.com.
