Hi

My name is Tomas. I have just bought my Chevelle Malibu SS, ( 7:th of jan 2008 ). The car was exported from the US. 1976 / Imported to Sweden. I just have found this great Forum, and it have been very usefull
for me to get the information that I have been looking for.
Since I bought it I have spent 100īds of hours in the garage. My car was awarded 3:e place in "Bilsport Custom & Performance Show in mars 2008.
Since you probably newer heard of the event, itīs the biggest annual show in Scandinavia with over 80 000 visitors.
Itīs a true SS car, built i Baltimore , body tag printed B D, and I also have the original Buildsheet.
( Sorry for my grammatic error, but I hope you got the message right )
