Just a few pics of my Malibu, I bought it for $250 when I was 15. It's my first car that I bought. The car is from Arkansas and has never seen the snow. Have been restoring it for the past few years when I don't have other projects going. Rebuilt the engine, had it repainted, all new suspension components, new exhaust. Just needs some small attention to detail items and the interior and she will be done. I:I
 
i use to have an 81 with a 350 in it. had a 327 in it when i bought it but it was toast. had a 1/3 soft top also which i don't see very often. one thing you should do if you didn't already is rear end has really high gears when i first put in the 350 i was getting like almost 30 mpg with a 4 b carb if i didn't kick her down. have fun with it.
 
DUDE!!!!! IM GETTING ONE OF THOSE!!!! It too, is a 78. Interior just needs carpet and headliner (faded). Needs painted and cleaned up. Otherwise in cherry shape. It was also the same color as yours before it was primed.
 
Thats a really nice looking car. You sure don't see too many older cars that are in good shape anymore. Nice job on fixing it up.
