Old Chevys

May 29th, 2008 by admin

I just acquired an old 1980 Chevy Malibu Classic Landau Sport from my Mom, I had actually bought the car 12 years ago and restored it and gave it to her because she liked it so much. After the 3rd year the engine needed freshened up so I took it out and rebuilt the engine in it for her, putting all quality parts back in it. Then my Dad retired and Mom gave me the car back. So I continued to work on the thing I put in new carpet and painted the thing, well after seeing it with the new paint job she wanted it back.

She drove it for another 8 years and then she fell in love with this little Dodge Caravan that I had been driving for a couple of years, and she drove it and love it too, her field of vision was improved with the van, so I gave it to her. Now i have the Malibu back and I am going to drop a 350 or a 383 stroker engine in this sleeper of a car and have a real nice little unsuspecting hot rod.

I should have done that instead of rebuilding that v6 that is in it, but with today’s gas prices it would really be wise to use it as is and get the good mileage. After all it only has about 5,000 miles on it since the rebuild. I must be going back into my child hood to want to spend this kind of money on a 1980 Chevy, but then again I don’t think I ever got out of my child hood. It will be happy cruising!
