New to the club
 

Hi everyone. I have long wanted to get a Chevelle and finally my time has come this week. I am picking up my 1972 Malibu this coming weekend and the resto project can begin. Managed to find a running car that has not been worked before, all numbers matching. It has rust in all the usual places and is a vinyl top car (not sure i'm going to leave it as one).

Welcome to the site, post some pictures when you get it home. Vinyl top car can mean a lot of rust under it. Hard to find a number matching car anymore that not a fortune to buy. Couple of others have 72 chevelles on here so you are right at home here.

Welcome from Ga ,tell us a little about yourself and your plans for your car and show us some pics .

Welcome to the site! As the others have stated, lets see it..... we love pictures!

Welcome to the site and congrats on the new car.

Welcome V. My name is Nancy and I have a 1972 Malibu. I too had a vinyl top at one time. Unfortunately like Ray said, I had a lot of rust under it. I ultimately replaced the whole roof. I look forward to hearing all about your Malibu.

Thanks for the words of welcome. I live in Richmond Va and I am supposed to pick the Chevelle up Thursday night, provided we don't get buried in snow tomorrow. I'll get some pictures up this weekend. I plan to keep it as a driveable car as much as I can. As this is my first one i'm going to take my time and try to break a big job into little parts. My end goal is not really to make this a show car but something to be driven and enjoyed. I plan on it being a grandfather, father, son project with my dad and my 10 year old.

Well we got buried with snow and ice so I couldn't pick up the car last night. Tomorrow is the day, the previous owner is going to drop it off at work for me. I should have some pictures to share very soon.

We have had our share of snow too ,looking forward to pics .Do you plan to change anything on it or leave it as is ?

Keeping my fingers crossed that you get your car soon.
