1979 Malibu Wagon
Resurrected from the junkyard, see
our slow tedious restoration
Work on the Monte engine is moving along smoothly and we expect to have it on the road at the end of this month. We have step by step photos of the work we have done from the day we bought the motor. When we first bought the motor, it was an obnoxious red. We decided to paint it Canary Yellow, and man, it is yellow! All accessories are painted black. We have added huge aluminum Moroso valve covers and white Hooker headers . We attempted to put the motor in this past weekend, but quickly realized we needed different mounts. Hopefully we can attempt again this next weekend.
Soon we will retire the Malibu and begin the tedious restoration on the junkyard revival. We recently picked up some Cragar Super Sports to give the wagon a cleaner look, so it matches the Monte. We replaced the front bench seat with early bucket seats and put in a center console from a 1977 Trans Am. Of course the windows are tinted pitch black all around, minus the back hatch (forget looking out the windows at night).
