1969 Malibu

[m22mike]

I recently came across this 69 Malibu parked in a cruise in area of a local car show. So anyway it found a new home. Kinda' wanted a 300 Deluxe Post car but I think Dan already found all of those... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]
It is a 307 air car, Bal built 08D small TT. TH350, PS,PB (added I think) , one repaint. The paint is very nice and flat, and the Burnished Brown looks to be a nice match, the metalic is a little large but I can live with it, Car has 87K miles on the clock, and is corrosion free and retains most all the original bright work. The door seam bottoms are perfect. Interior is a little tired but still very respectable. All the custom belts are there, and in ex condition. Has newer 15&quot; ( Old style ) Cragers and new radials.
The grill is a replacement with the center trim added. I have a better OE grill and a very nice early 69 Walnut wheel and some other stuff from a couple of local 69 Chevelle boys.
I got a pair of front bucket seats with new Parchment covers installed with the car. Plan is to freshen up the guts, new carpet and headliner, and shoot the door panels and seat plastic and just drive the crap out of it next summer. The little 307 surprised me, runs OK. Edelbrock manifold and 4 bbl. Car has some kind of glass packs ? Sounds way better than a 307 should.
When time and $$ permits I would like to do a BBC, Tremec 5 speed, 12 bolt, and front disc brakes, and keep the air.
Sorry about the Malibu scripts on the front fenders [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/sick.gif[/img] , they were added by the last owner as far as I know.
The reddish brown [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/sick.gif[/img] top is out of here, I hate it ! The car was built with a Dk. Brown top. My thought now is to two tone the top in Champagne Gold, Phil &quot;woj&quot; gave me the idea one day when we were talking about vinyl top colors. Might try and get the top done soon, we'll see.
Anyway enjoy the pic's
