Faults:

The car had sat since 1997. When my husband and I purchased the car in 2003 we had to replaced the valve cover gaskets. We proceeded to give it a tune up. We had to replace the brake lines running to the back brakes, they were coroded and leaking break fluid. The only problem with the interior is the headliner and that is our next project.

General Comments:

The purchase of the 80' Malibu was a great investment for my husband and I.

The car is very dependable and starts with every turn of the key.

We take it for a joy ride at night after a hard day of work.

It seems to be our little piece of American history.

Faults:

Not much. Had valve seals replaced, other than that, normal maintenance. Interior plastic has faded, & dash has cracked. Nothing major though.

General Comments:

Still has the original drivetrain from 23 years ago. Runs like a top. Pick up & fuel mileage are great. Looks great too. Will be a long time before I get rid of this one. Love the styling, also. Other than getting rid of that awful stand up header ornament, & filling the hole with fiberglass, & re-shooting the spot with the factory blue body color, nothing else really had to be done to the body of the car. This car is a true GM gem, & a testament to the engineering that went into it.
