Default Later Model Chevelles 78 Up

Anyboby else like the 78 and up chevelles and caminos ? Im looking for a reasonably priced 78 and up malibu for Joan as a daily driver and Chuck Hanson has found me several to look at. Im going to call about one tomorrow that is nearby and see what happens. I wanted to get her a newer Mustang convertible but she doesnt want anything that new ,she wants an older car .

I like the later model Malibu. Even the wagons. Not too many left here in Michigan, least that I see on the street.

We looked at the 79 Malibu today ,but I wont be buying it. It was somewhat like he described it with a few exceptions. Interior was just ok, the surface RUST he had described was just a bit off. The whole bottom of the trunk lid was completely rusted through ,the drip rails were the same and a couple of bad spots on the quarters as well.So we continue our search for a 78 up Malibu creampuff .We may have to broaden our search to different makes as most of what we are finding are former drag cars.

Found a nice Malibu on EBAY Motors but it was green and Joan said no to it. I thought it looked great but what do I know. Maybe we will find one before next year ,the Explorer passed emissions 1 more time . I hope it lasts another year.
