Wish I had the money I'd buy it just the way it sits!👍
Its worth more in parts Lee. Spend your time on the better cars. That engine is a keeper.
As long as the engine and drive train is fine that would be a great candidate for a restoration. You are a top man with the welding torch and the interiors!
Thanks 👍
I think Arts car could be used for the parts , lets say take the interior out , knobs , everything usable , in my belief a car can be body swapped , but the parts can stay sentimental .
Nice looking rig. Fix and flip. Keep up the great work
Man i dig it..cars like that i haven't seen since my youth, always making me happy. remind me of cojak,barnaby jones, beretta,and all those worth seeing tv shows 0f the 70s.yes they did rust around the windows,but its still here.lol peace and happy new year.
It's running in the video. I'll drive it next video.
@@clunkersandclassics yes i know it ran you got so many i was confused lol.peace
Clunkers and Classics or Puddin I chose Clunkers and Classics
Same here 😁✌
@@michaelbristol6467That’ll teach Puddin to release it a day late. Especially after he bagged on Mortske for doing it.
I lke Puddin but not into mini trucks and lowriders
Nice original malibu needs the rally wheels and repaint
Take the floor and trunk pan and interior from your buddy’s car . And use it on this gold one..
not my decision to make
Sell it to Art. Put the good parts from his on that. His seems to rotted to use as a base.
makes sense but he has sentimental value on his
@@clunkersandclassics not sentimental enough to keep at his own joint. Time to cut it loose
The 77 could be awesome painted black with tinted windows, nice wheels/tires and flowmasters.
Owned a 76 and a 77 back in the 90s nice riding cars parts where cheap very easy to repair
That would be a fun one to fix up. I'd be stoked to see you do something with it on this channel.
Lee, I like it already. I like the door panels, power windows and the swivel buckets on the Black Malibu, it would be just right for the El Camino.
That is Arts car. Not going to rob parts from it.
I think it’s worth fixing up a little. Not too far gone to save
It's savable, just not worth much
Put a Iron block chevy 6.0 in it.
He doesn't need a parts car, get the gold one running and sell it. Its obvious your buddy doesn't need a classic. Any classic he gets will just rot.
Totally agree 👍
I concur,I know the type, he likes the idea about being a classic car owner but when it comes right down to it he is not serious. If you sell it to him you will end up with two 77' chevelle's sitting for years.
I believe mostly it has to do with his rich lady. She is telling him that he can't have his junk at her place. He'll never do anything with this car and end up letting it rot or getting rid of it. He's not going to risk getting her mad.
My first car in 1984 was a 76 Malibu. Same color with a tan vinyl roof with big triangle side rear window. 5.0 v8. Brings back great memories. Thanks for sharing.
My grandfather bought 1977 malibu classic new off the lot and drove it for 40 years his was green on green 2 door with a 305, I miss that car and I have alot of great memories when I see these cars today, I'd love to find a decent one but there hard to find
sir,i had a 77 malibu classic,dual exaust,alpine stereo system,just stock 305 2 barrel carb,i sold it when i had 178,000 miles,it still ran good,front quarters were rust free but rear quarters rusted out into the trunk,realy nice reliable car
The car looks great!! The moter sounds great!!!👍👍
I believe you can make some good money on that car. 🏁👍 these cars are going up in value
I haven't seen any value increases in these types of cars.
That window crank was in the original build clocking. That old and someone usually gets it out of clocking. Just saying. Someone took care of her🗿 Thanks for sharing 👍
Think you got a runner Lee. I think the other guy would be miles ahead buying this from you. But, if not I would spend a few hundred and flip this Classic. There’s nothing you can’t do. Thank you for sharing! Happy New Year! 🎆
Thanks!
I'd use that Black chevelle as the parts car & swap it (Interior), wheels Etc. into the gold car.....& call the black one a loss after its stripped out...
Nice car! Such a shame to destroy it to fix a total crap bucket, but I get that there's a sentimental attachment for your friend.........
Value wise I think they are about the same. I love these colonnade cars. I had a 75 and a 76. Great drivers. I also learned to drive on a 77 Malibu Classic wagon with the 350. Firethorn red metallic. The values of these have come up some but are not so expensive like the earlier car.
Short answer..Yes!
Had one! And the project it was. Had a lot of rust issues that we fixed but the best part was the 400 small block 400 turbo and 10 bolt positive rear end we put in it it run good then we lost interest. Love that body style though. Mine was the same color in fact
Had 1 loved it wish I still had it! Had the Chevy rally wheels dual exhaust it ran great 2
make one hotrod out of both Malibus. Jack er up in the rear and primer it black or paint it matte black and use the interior of the black car and send her.
That will be up to Art
I had a 73 ss it was cool had a built small block posi 12 bolt 411s
Keep the car and fix it up you won't regret it
Try brake cleaner on the sticky steering wheel. I just did that on an old truck and had great result.
My '74 had headlight buckets from a '77 on it when I got it. I didn't like the look,so I found '74 headlight buckets and slapped those in. Looks a whole lot better. And as far as Art goes,I'll be surprised if he does anything further with his car. Women,kids and casinos are some of the main things that keep guys from building ol schools. No live in woman around my camp and I don't gamble. And the kids are grown and gone. All I do is work,buy parts and build with no interference. Living my best life✌️🤙
I would say put Arts interior in the car you just got. What you could do that way is tell him you need at least half the money now. And if he doesn't pay you the other half, you would have the title to the vehicle to sell it.
If Art don't want it. Throw buckets in like you say. Fix the rust around the rear windows and paint the top black like the El Camino and replace the door seals, and send it down the road.
I have my Great Grandmother’s old 1977 Malibu I’d love to have it for my self mine needs a lot of Body work
Great car i had one ride smooth
Thank god the late 70s malibus are getting some love. Trying to build mine is like throwing darts in the dark, there is just a slight hair of aftermarket/ old stock out there for these cars
Love them all cars you work on and the way you do it don't know about Jack in the back end up but that was popular back in the 60s 70s the cars look good and you help me a lot thank you for sending you videos and please continue
This would make a nice hot rod for your collection
just change all of the metal around the vin number in his car for the metal from that one ;)
$1,000 bucks nice deal just for the drivetrain alone, them 305's purr like a kitten. I'd park it for now and focus on the Nomad. Maybe Art will show up someday after he hits it big at the casino. 😁✌
Working on the Nomad now.
Hopefully your friend watches your videos and calls you
I don't think he knows I do youtube
I love it! The first car i ever bought was a '76 Malibu Classic.
Your channel just came up on my youtube, Im the caretaker of an original 77 Omega that is sweet, I see from your intro that we share similar taste in cars, I have liked and subscribed!!
Thanks, welcome aboard!
Art isn't going to do anything to his car. Per your description it's too far gone for what it is. This one can be saved with your skill and tlc.
That car will run and it is a nice candidate for restoration those later Camaro rims are a no no some nice rally wheels .
I am a northern feller. These look good to me. This is from my high school days.
Sad about that trunk floor. But it's definitely something worthy of not being parted patch that floor work your magic seller. I liked all your comments tank around with that little bit put some lipstick on her let her go LOL love watching your show.
That's a good looking car not bad . Come to Ohio if you want to see rough car that old.
I had one back in the 80s. put a 400 small block in her and premiered it. She ran good on them four coil springs.
I'll buy it like that. He does not need parts car if he wanted the black car fix would have done alone time ago. Sale it. Only if I was close
I've had my I one that thing I've been watching you for awhile lol
I really like those cars I had a couple I'd like to have that one if it wasn't so fare away from me
That is not rough I'm from the Midwest Wisconsin and believe me that is not rough plus it's a 1977 that's in great shape that is definitely not rough I've seen some rough ones out here in Wisconsin but that one is not rough. Not sure where you're at but that is not rough, nice looking car great buy..
It's rough for down here in Texas but more so because the time and money needed to restore it outweighs the value of the car. It's a tough/rough choice to make.
I rode in 2 of these 1 silver aka The Silver bullet and a Gold copperish like the thumbnail
Fix her up and flip it. You know after 8 years he won't want to buy it. This could be a money maker. Those cars up north rusted in the show room. I always liked them.
either way I'll make money on it
I just stumbled across your channel and I wouldn't hack that car up she's in to good of condition and very savable, as for your friend I would tell him Shit or get off the Pot about his car and quit being lazy. Have a good day 👍
New subscriber. You’re easy to listen to. Keep the videos coming. Put some Laguna S-3 swivel seats and center console in it and paint it the original color. $7,500.
Welcome aboard!
Just my thoughts. Why not tell your buddy here is 500 bucks. Take his old car he obviously will never do anything wirh. Then use his good interior for the gold car. Paint the gold cae. Flip it then scrap the old sulver one. I mean come on 8 yrs? Man you are too kind. I wouldnt put up with more excuses. Just my 2 cents.
Pretty nice car! in michigan that's a 6000 car, depending on your area.. These have skyrocketed in pricing as of the last few years. worth saving. I'm looking for a 75 LeMans Sport coupe. not much luck so far. I've got a 79 LeMans.
I say fix it up a bit and stick it in the collection. Same with the El Camino. The way prices are going I bet these cool 70s cars will be worth $20K in just a few years. Make money off the clunkers till they appreciate.
Probably not worth it but this car would be more appealing if they had a better bumpers and grill conversion. Seems all makes struggled through the late 70s with their designs. Late 60s early 70s all car companies were on top of their game
GM did that on the Laguna, Can Am, etc in that era.
Had a 74 and a 77 Elcamino parts for them were hard to find
Such a nice looking car. I know its yours and you are going to do what you want, but I hope to return it to stock and paint it the original gold color.
paint prices are through the roof so original metallic paint is out of the question
@@clunkersandclassics like how much per gallon for catalyzed enamel or urethane with reducer and gardener? About 350-700?
@@jamessharp9790 probably closer to $1000 for the paint I use. Base/clear in PPG or the like probably around $2500-$3000
@@clunkersandclassics have you used any of the Summit Racing paints?
@@jamessharp9790 They don't mix paint to factory colors. It's acrylic enamel and probably won't last here in the south.
That wheel setup would be perfect if for the Nomad
The Cragers
yes but not mine
I think this is a make it a runner driver, exchange a few parts to the elcomnio. Ask 2200 or lest offer take anything over 1500
Not bad , probably take your buddy 8 years to buy it. Just touch it up and flip it.
U can get parts 4 them thru Original Parts Group Inc.
Keep the gold car whole , redo it on the cheap and make a profit , you can do it.
Art should buy it and use his as the parts car and fix up that faded one you just got
That's the car I learned to drive in it ok leaked oil so bad I drive one for 3 years
After 7-8 years it's obvious Art is not serious about ever going to get his car done. Yours on the other hand is a far better prospect and requires less work to make it worth anything.
Great video
Thanks!
Door jambs... chevy copper colored?? Bullet mirrors/ parts are a zitch to find☹️
got some new kitty
5 kittens all grown up and need to go
Im from n.s canada that car is in nice shape in compared to if it were here lol
U guys get some Kool cars , do you sell any of them .I like Laguna Chevelle cars . You call that rough nope! It's decent in my area.the one in back is worthy of fixing to . Chevelles Malibu are getting hard to find.
I don't have any Lagunas but will sell this one and the 76 el camino
@@clunkersandclassics what you asking for the red one El amino
@@devinmichaels6822 $5000 at this moment
@@clunkersandclassics not bad price. Is it a 1975?
@@devinmichaels6822 76
Tell your buddy to pay you what he owes you and come and get his car.
He's paid up
@@clunkersandclassics Ok, I guess as he keeps paying keep working. But I really think the car's a waste of time and money with all the work it needs and like you say " they don't fetch alot of money on the market.
looks like the cats gave it a good Cat Scan..car needs to be saved...
I was pretty danged excited about this car until the end, when I saw the trunk floor..... ouch. That thing is roached. If a repair panel is even made for it, I'd guess you'd be looking at $400-$500 for the tin alone. :(
$400 for the trunk pan. I may have to scrounge up some metal from a junk car I have to fix it
Dont cut up the gold Malibu to "save" the rust bucket.
OPG has new stuff floors and trunk area only thing is their a grand for each area all floors.
I found trunk pan for 400 but even that is too high for me
He would be crazy not to buy the gold one from you and have you paint it black and put his interior,and drive train in it
I think the mirrors are original just the paint faded different from the rest of the car.
If you could get a hold of Art, he should by that gold car and take everything he wants to keep from his original and put it on the gold car.
The black car is too far gone.
Fix that gold car swap in the red interior and paint it black.
That's what I would do
Have a 77 Chevy Malibu Landau
How much you asking?I'd definitely be interested
not sure yet
Cleaner up and flip it if art don't want it. $2500.OBO.
Put seats and console from black one in it
Black car is not mine.
Buy your friends car and use this one to make a sweet ride.
He won't ever sell it.
@@clunkersandclassics bummer was a thought.
NICE VIDEO.
Thanks!
Art won't have the money! What you do is tell Art you haven't charged him, but it's time to sell you the car that is going to shit! You then put interior, and grill and stuff on yours. Then you can sell or add to collection.
He has money. His car has a lot of sentimental value to him.
I'll buy it. If the price is right. Just need to know where you are
Part the black car!!!
not my decision to make
@@clunkersandclassics Art's not going to do squat with the black car after 8 years. Maybe he hit's it big at the casino. lol
Not bad I'd put a paint job on it then sell it and some interior work
So it sounds like you Made your mind up and art is going to have a parts car witch is cool I like to see all classics back on the road just cause they are getting harder and harder to find but sounds like you're selling it to him. Then why in the he'll would you ask our opinion on it I would love to see what you could to to this car as a classic from your channel
unknown whether Art will buy the car and spend $10k on bodywork yet
I'ts a gem:)
Fix it up
He'll I would pay more than 1500 for that the way it sits if you know how to work Metter the black is easy to fix
you have kitties running all over the place there,lol
you want some? they have to go.
Coyote classic sold a 77 Chevy Malibu Landau for I think 22,500
hard to believe
