I been trying to decide between two cars one is the classic 1965 malibu and the other a 1969 impala. Now I know what your thinking IMPALA ???? WTF??? right well i saw a drawing of one in custom rodder and fell in love. Now the problem with that is that no one make any parts for this car ( brakes,drop springs, suspension, etc.) .So I'm leaning towards the 65 malibu but as we all know to get one in bad condition your looking at a least 5k and usally thats a steal if it wont take 10k in body work to get it back nice again. The other problem with the malibu is that you just about have to keep it true to forum with the clones being frowned uponed thes days you have to keep it with bench seat and coloumn shift. Now I want buckets seats with a center console a 6speed trans and a ls2 engine or 4l80e trans w/ paddel shifters. So please help I'm leaning towards the 65 but would love to do the 69 if I can find the parts.
