Got rid of my high 10 second Malibu for a 69 Barracuda convertible, slant 6/auto. Talk about going from one end of the spectrum to the other!!!! Lol.
Original interior (in great shape), original motor (104k), top is in excellent condition and works great (except for the vinyl back window) and mostly original body. I think I'm going to just leave it alone and drive it the way it is for the summer! I do need some parts though!

I had the Malibu for about 17 years. It was bone stock when I got it, I redid everything on the car. It's been "completed" since about '02, and since then, only had maybe 2000 miles on it. Pretty much just got bored with it and I have always like the body style on the second gen Barracuda, so when my buddy made me a good offer to trade the Malibu as a roller for the Barracuda, I just couldn't pass it up.
 
WOW ! Nice car ! I'd like to know what that fish sold for.
Without a/c you probably wont enjoy the black vinyl before fall.
There a terry cloth seat cover that you can make easy with beach towels though.
Once the leaves start turning you'll love driving that vert.
If you decide to sell it, let me know. I need to drive it home before the snow flys :)

It was an '80.
Traded with a very good friend of mine who has been trying to get me into a Mopar for 20 years! He got the car "cheap" and was going to sell it to me for exactly what he had into it. I couldn't do anything til I sold the Malibu so he made me an offer I just couldn't refuse. From what ive read, there were only 248 slant six, convertibles made in '69, 48 were 3 on the tree and the other 200 were automatics. A lot more rare than the Malibu.....lol
