New Guy from Rio - Malibu 67 and 70
Hi there guys, I'm writing from Rio de Janeiro, BR
Me and my friend bought two barn find Malibus and we started working on them o couple years ago.
Mine's a 67 Malibu , 6 cylinder, 3 on the tree, gold with gold interior
He's a 70 Malibu 307 V8 / Powerglide in Triple Blue with bench seats
No rush to finish, specially because parts are impossible to find around here (or way too expensive)
But we carry on. Here's a couple o pics from the day we rescued them.
Cheers
Artur

Thanks!!! It is always fun! We had/have a few others. At the moment I have a 68 Impala SS and another 72 malibu , a sport sedan. My friend also has a 74 Camaro with all build-up 350 and a 4 speed. It roars. Also, my wife just bought a 69 Caprice with a 327 (full restoration needed here)Welcome ! Great to see people from other countries involved in old Chevelles ( and all other old cars ).

I've taken the body off and did the frame, suspension, some rustwork and all the undercarriage. The old guy that used to drive it in the 80's hit a VW Bug and the entire left fender, door and A pillar came a little bit off. It took sometime to get it done. The rest of the car is straight. It has been sitting since the crash, and it has around 90k miles. Perfect back seats. Front seats are torn cos it was his dog's house (for generations of dogs). He also used the arm rest to put out his cigarrets (cos the ashtray was probably full all the time!
