I bought a 1971 malibu that had a 327 and turbo 350 in it, I paid the guy $1,000.00 for the car and drove it home. It had roughly 1/4 tank of gas and I thought I could at least make it home. Well I never thought the car could move that fast, had my foot to the floor almost all the way home. It ran maybe 10 miles on the feeble amount in the tank it coasted into the gas station just barely. That car should have never been driven on the road till a majior brake job had been finished and well the bucket seats only had 2 bolts holding them in the car. Man was that ever a fun car to drive, looking back wish I had never cut it up.
