New '73 Owner In Jersey

Just picked up a fairly clean '73 Malibu 307/th350 p/s m/b w/ 61,000 original miles on it, for a whopping $1200. The first things on the list to do to this car is put a tilt wheel & bucket seats in it cause Im 6'5" and having a bench seat and no tilt wheel doesnt work out so well for me. Been reading this forum for about 2 weeks now and already learned a lot about the G3 cars, Im very familiar with the earlier ones(Ive had my '67 for 14 years and my brother has a beautiful '70), but didnt know too much about the '73-'77 cars. Enough rambling heres some pics of the '73.


















And a few pics of my '67

Welcome! Both cars are very nice!
You'll love that 73 when it's done. It's gonna be waaaay comfier than the 67!

Welcome to G3GM! I love the 67 they are my favorite behind the 70.

Thanks guys. Yeah my brother has a '70 that hes finishing up right now, gonna be badass when its done. Heres a quick pic of his car coming home fresh outta the paint booth

Very Nice indeed!!

cool, same color mines gonna be. I always liked that original mist green color.

Wow, very nice. It's like Blue Balls' older brother. (I've got a 74, same color.) Question for ya: How bad was the body on yours or your brother's car when you sent them off to the body shop? I'm just trying to get a rough estimate of how much it is gonna be to get it blasted and done up. It's in pretty good condition with the exception of some surface rust, and rust through on the rear fenders along the doors. Let me know. Any info will help. Also, did you rebuild your engine yourself?

The only time either car went to a body shop was to be painted. The one pic I posted of my 73 and 67 in the garage was where all the work was done, Me and my Dad did my 67 and my dad and brother did my brothers 70. My brother had it easy though as he went to school for autobody and has been working at a shop for almost 6 years now, oh and it helps that his G/F works in the paint department so she painted it. lemme see if I can dig up a pic or too

Heres my bros car in the garage on the rotisserie(sp) my dad built



Here you can see where all the magic happens lol

And heres why I hate my brother now




^^^ Thats his garage at his new house

WHATS THAT IN THE OTHER SIDE OF GARAGE???????
