Default 72 Chevelle Malibu Convertible

Hello guys and gals,
I am brand new to the site. I'm 39, married with a beautiful daughter I love classic cars. I've had plenty of them but this one was my dream. I wanted a SS but couldn't find one I could afford. I'm more than happy with this one. Hopefully one day mine will look like some of these I see on here.

Looks like a super solid car to start with. Too bad you don't live closer... I have a ton of things you could use to make it more like an SS.

Jay ,are you related to Jethro ? Just kidding .I saw the pics you posted and just have to ask what you think is wrong with how your Malibu looks ,I like it ,I want to see more pics ,it looks very solid .Ours would have been easy to make into a cloned SS since it already had the bucket seats and floor shift ,all we would have had to do was add the SS dash ,stripes and emblems as we already had the domed hood .We just liked it being a Malibu .

As a kid, All my uncles had Super Sports with 454's. Always been a dream of mine. My dad was into Camaro's. I like those too but there was something about those stripes going over the outer door of the cowl while it was open I just had to have. Just a personal preference.
