There is a sweet 1970 Malibu for sale out near the stables. Maroon,
looks like a stock, garaged car, soooooooo pretty...

Not to be a party pooper, but I've never understood the fascination
with
these cars.
First of all, they are a dime a dozen. �As a collectible, they really
aren't worth much.
Second, having driven several, they handle like crap, ride like crap
and
are not particularly "fast".

To each their own, I suppose.

You could trick out the Corvair engine also. �Lots of the sand rails used to
use them. �When I first moved into this house, young guy down the street had
a beetle that he had a 350 Chevy in the back seat. �Mid engined. �Only

I've seen that done on a corvair, where a guy had to redo the whole
thing. in the "back seat" was actually a front wheel drive 455 enging
and trans. from a 71 Olds Toronado.
