Silas speaks about you often on his channel. I subbed to both yours and his channel years ago. I like seeing you guys support one another. This car needed saved. Good video!
as an old junk yard dog and ase master tech, with vehicles like this that sat for years ,i put 3 oz of brake fluid in the trans and 2 oz in the engine ,and one oz in the PS and all leaks stop by the next day...but ot pan gaskets 😮
Excellent mr pliers good save i watch silas & he tries to save stuff but people flake on him he has things to take care of not hurry up & wait excellent again mr pliers cheers 🥂 😊
Great save from the Adventures made from scratch, Thumbs up, great video,Its a 2 door that the hood and doors still worknot all sagging and folding over
Mr. B. Here ! 👏👀😎👍. Very cool ! You are right not many have any love for the Colonnades , I have three ! Two Cutlass S sport coupe and GMC Sprint all 1976 . These vehicles are great over the road cars. The list is long of the good stuff. Most would said am nuts but being a owner since 1976 am happy camper ! Glad that was saved !
it blows my mind with how many A bodies were built as to how rare they have become Big Block transplant & you can have a lot of fun swivel buckets are super a rare option
As both cars were the Malibu Classic, they were a notch up from the base Malibu which had round headlights and a a different grill. There was also the Laguna which was separate from the Malibu line. When the Laguna was first introduced in '73 it was available as a 2 door or 4 door. From 1974 on it was only a 2 door coupe. I believe the Laguna was discontinued by the 1976 model year.
Good save Tim your friend has a great start to a cruiser....I haven't seen one of that generation Malibu that solid for years...I always feel bad for Silas when people give him grief about crushing cars but they won't pay a fair price to save them if I was close to your area I'd save what I could...keep up the good work and we'll keep watching...Karl from Canada
Had to look in the back yard to see if the old Malibu was still there. Have one just like the 77 that my dad bought new same color in and out ,same major rust issues. Only difference is mine has a 350 Quadrajet with the 350 turbo
I saw your for sale post through skylers face book, sent you a friend request so i wont miss the rest. Looking forward to seeing all your offers as they come!
Good stuff Tim ! Thank you for sharing !! You really need to invest in a tripod,, in my opinion. But I know what folks say about opinions ! Stay safe my friend and God bless you and yours !!!! Eddy
My first car was a 73 Chevelle... I've looked for one over the years , but they're hard to find & when I do they're beyond repair.. 70's cars just got crushed because they had little to be desired.. I loved my 73' . It had a 350 , 4 speed manual . Bucket seats (swivel) , power windows , cruise & a.c. It wasnt a muscle car per say , but it ran great . I wish I had kept it & a half dozen other cars/trucks I had... But you dont think about that when you're 16 .. My favorite car was my 77' Monza Spyder. It had a 305 with 4 speed . It was a blast to drive . I found one a year ago , called the guy and told him I'd take it . He would'nt let me wire the money and said the first guy there with the money gets it.. I flew from Tx to Columbus Oh & when I landed I called him . It was sold ... Frustrating ! But hopefully I'll find one or the other.
Had one just like it same color only difference mine had rally wheels all the way around that’s a good looking car ! They look super cool with Crager SS wheels all the way around to !!
Nice save from mr chop it and crush it!! Silas really needs someone's help to find buyers, the more he gets messed around on FB marketplace, the more he wants to crush something!! He finds some cool stuff, but it ends up in the crusher as too many people have offered him like $300 for something, when its worth $600 in scrap!
A friend at Altus Air Force Base in Oklahoma in 1974 special ordered on of these two doors. Only option was AM radio and factory AC. It had a small V8 that I don't know what size. Pretty cheap sticker price. The dash cracked before the first year was up. Other than that it was always reliable, just sorta lackluster.
Perhaps the blue donor car could give up all the blue interior? Including steering wheel dashboard? The yellow car with blue interior would work , terms of looks.
Most of all of GM car/trucks from this time frame had really poor quality sheet metal (supplier?) I had both a “74” Malibu and a C-10 and after 5 years they were complete rust buckets!
The poor old man can't hardly reach over the fender. And then you walk up to the car, and can reach the trunk from the front bumper. 🤣. Holy smokes your tall. Lol
It would be nice if the camera was actually showing the video of Watchers what's actually going on when he's working under the hood instead of the dog view we have now what's the point of it how nice the grill is
Ugly as but I love the fact resurrecting an old V8 anything is probably about a 1000 times more environmentally friendly than producing 1 single brand new electric vehicle.
Mr. Goodpliers you picked a dog. That front end style is terrible. The bumper bolts look like Frankenstein. I can't find any redeeming value in it. Let Silas crush it.
Its what the man was looking for. Not to my taste either, but what the heck if he’s happy with it. And in the end if he’s not……..Silas ain’t going anywhere.

I like the grill and the stacked headlights on that car!

I love that 1976 Chevy Malibu classic awesome video thank you for the video
That yellow Malibu was the exact car my younger brother drove in high school. It was 2 years old when he bought it and it ran forever.♥️👍🏼
Great video thanks for sharing
that was very good Mr. Goodpliers, I really enjoyed it 👍

From all. The videos. You have. Produced. This is. One. I really. Love ❤️ Thanks
it blows my mind with how many A bodies were built as to how rare they have become
Big Block transplant & you can have a lot of fun
swivel buckets are super a rare option
With the excellent parts car the yellow one will be a going to town rig in no time. Nice scores both of them . Cheers from Denver
Wow I love this body style I had a74 Malibu Classic, get this it was 454 2 dr, was a great car.

I'm parting one of these out, it has good fenders.

Have owned three of these cars 73 SS454, 73 Laguna, 76 Malibu Classic, cars drive like a Cadillac, keep rolling......

The silicone vacuum caps hold up much better, they only cost a few more bucks. Nice save

Any two door from the seventies is definitely worth bringing back, especially a chevy, but in calif. It would have to pass smog 😢
Like the cats. I hope they are not strays.
The car of my child hood.
years ago i bought a 78 mali that didn't start the fuel filter was so clogged it wouldn't run i banged the filter on the fender and drove it home
I enjoy both you and Silas on TH-cam and it’s great you are friends and help each other out
Perhaps the blue donor car could give up all the blue interior? Including steering wheel dashboard? The yellow car with blue interior would work , terms of looks.
I had one of them bright green 💚 paint
Does the black kitty come with the blue Malibu?
The last year nova tail with the last years monte carlo headlights
let it go ... let it go.
The Chevy 305 is great for marine use....it makes a great boat anchor.
I wholeheartedly agree, but as long as anything runs I'll keep whatever's under the hood
Ihad a 76M B C with 350 it was a 4 door great car put 250 thousand miles on it nevered changed trans. fluid.
and the 305s have bad valve guide seals ,,but other than that they run just fine
It's hard to find parts for these malibu I got one
I had a '77 Malibu Classic with the 350. It had adequate performance. The 2bbl. 305 was too weak for a Chevelle.
its a good car v8 mint
Most of all of GM car/trucks from this time frame had really poor quality sheet metal (supplier?) I had both a “74” Malibu and a C-10 and after 5 years they were complete rust buckets!
Of I owned the car it would have mountains of surety
The poor old man can't hardly reach over the fender. And then you walk up to the car, and can reach the trunk from the front bumper. 🤣. Holy smokes your tall. Lol
I used to be a Silas subscriber, but to me, he's all about the money. Making a buck to make a living is one thing, greed is another. Just my opinion.
Id buy it, are you planning on selling it..
It would be nice if the camera was actually showing the video of Watchers what's actually going on when he's working under the hood instead of the dog view we have now what's the point of it how nice the grill is
Ugly as but I love the fact resurrecting an old V8 anything is probably about a 1000 times more environmentally friendly than producing 1 single brand new electric vehicle.
Arms not long enough 😂 more like to much belly in the way 😂
305=CRAP, period.
Exactly
🐕 💩 engines 👎👎👎
Mr. Goodpliers you picked a dog. That front end style is terrible. The bumper bolts look like Frankenstein. I can't find any redeeming value in it. Let Silas crush it.
Its what the man was looking for. Not to my taste either, but what the heck if he’s happy with it. And in the end if he’s not……..Silas ain’t going anywhere.
carriage bolts are filling holes in the bumper where the rub strip is missing
