day driver


Hi everyone. I am looking for a 1978 to 1981 chevrolet malibu for a day driver, have about $1600 to spend, not looking for a mint car obviously, but no rot box either. How rare is it to find one with a 3 or 4 speed stick? any info on these cars would be great, I know its not a pontiac, but they were built at the oshawa assembly plant, right.

There was an Iraqi Taxi on here not long ago. Let's see if we can find it.

Yup, here it is:

2-DOOR 4-SPEED CARS ARE QUITE RARE. I HAVE A '78 ONE OF 94 AND A '79 ONE OF 142. A BUDDY HAS A '80 ONE OF 124. THESE ARE CANADIAN #'S. THEY MAKE GREAT DRIVERS, AND EVEN BETTER WITH THE F-41 SUSPENSION. IT HAS BEEN QUITE A WHILE SINCE I HAVE SEEN ONE LOCALLY FOR SALE.

The one that was for sale in Ontario is still for sale, but his price firm. i spent a month or more on this car, if I lived in Ontario I would buy it. But to buy it and ship here to Calgary and oop inspection puts the car a little too high. One of the members here on this site looked at the car said it was decent, but had a lifter noise. The member and his wife who looked at the car were super and I trusted them 100%. The owner of the malibu, is away in Flordia untill the 16th of January.
