HELLO MY G3ERS

Hello i have myself a 76 malibu that i got as my second car. Im a muscle car guy. the first time i saw it the thing looked like a fat slow car. but as i got to driving it everyday it grew to my project car that i love.


The Dude:
I live in a area with no other G3ERS around. and i drive mine EVERYDAY. i grew up around my dads shop. 40 fords,55,57 chevys and a few mopars that i wont say have been in that shop but from day one a red 66 Pontiac GTO with a 455 (now a 462) T56 trans and 4.10 gears was my dads car. I love that car.

The car: a old ladys church going car till 88' when it started its hibernation till i bought it. still wearing its STs on tis 8inch rallys. I bought a almost rust free car for 5500 bucks. only 100,000 miles. funny part is it was sold at the chevy dealer in my hometown.


What it will be:
Im a muscle car guy not a hot rod or a low rider guy so i picked up a 650 holley, a performer plus cam and lifter set, a intake, a new rearend, (it had a bolt in axle ponitac) 3.42 gears and a posi. the rearend, its gears and posi are in but the rest will be for a cool weekend.


Thanks for all the help and the aid of a great group of people.

Welcome aboard buddy cant wait to see the progress

Hello Jared76. Very nice car. My 74 Elky came from the factory with the Oldsmobile rear end assembly also. A rare occurance for sure. JB

My Monte Carlo has an Oldsmobile rear as well. Remember when you need axle bearings they are different and press on

Welcome to the forum! Fair warning though, we are pic hounds here.

Welcome

Looks like you are hooked on a G3 ! I would prefer an Olds rear if it has press-on axle bearings. The Chev rear with bearings running on the axle wasn't a good idea at all. Had to put an axle-saver bearing/seal combo in my Malibu. I had to scrap one rear end because the bearings wore into the axles, and the housing too.

That your Geeto too ? Nice !

That was the original set up for my car...saddle dash, headliner & carpet & light buckskin seats & interior trim. LOL. Wish I had found mine in that condition.
