    1972Mach1 Just some M.M.O.G. guy.....

    Thanks. I hear that a lot actually, and I agree. I don't like most 71-73 mustangs I see.. It's a tough one to get right and a really easy one to screw up. Owning it for 29 years has given me time to sort it out :D

    Here is the 1974 Malibu Classic that has been in my family since new. My Grandad bought it at the Chevrolet dealer that he worked at, in New Jersey, as a car that someone had ordered and didn't want after it came in. Apparently someone made an error on the order form and selected a manual transmission. The customer wanted an automatic. He probably got a great deal on it. It is a stripper car, with the only options being power steering and the 350 CID V8. Originally it was a 3-on the tree.

    When he passed away in 1994, it was left to my uncle. He drove it down to Florida, kept it for a few months, and gave it to my younger brother, who was his godchild. His 2 daughters didn't want it. My brother had it until his passing in 2016. He asked that I take it, since I had helped him do a lot of work to it. We had put another 350 in the car, when the original one let go, converted it from a 3-speed to 4-speed with an early 70's Borg Warner transmission, added the gauges, and replaced a few clutches and carburetors.

    When I picked it up from where it was stored, one of the front calipers locked up after a mile or so. I guess it had been there for a while. It was towed to my girlfriend's garage where I rebuilt the brakes and front end. When she sold her house in 2018, it was transferred to the garage in my house in Pinellas Park, where is is now. Before I bought the GS400, in 2020, I had started to replace the intake, and ignition, trying to make it a more reliable car to drive. Being a former Jersey car though, it's got it's share of rust holes. When I bought the Buick, it kinda got pushed to the side, where I left off.

    Now I'm faced with having to move it again, as I am either going to sell or rent out this house. I now have to put the current projects with the GS400 on hold, to get this Malibu back to a running state again (and replace some other safety related items) so I can drive it to Zephyrhills (about 50 miles away). Once there, I have to figure out what I'm going to do with it. I really don't have the storage room and it doesn't have AC. We'll see how it goes, I guess. Keeping it around would be best for my soul.

    Just thought I would share, since this is what I'm working on today.

    Here is what it looked like in 2018

    Sounds like a great truck, can't complain about a good riding dually! Mine is mostly just for highway comfort for our trips and also provides a very comfortable ride, we are very happy with it so far (it's my 4th ram though so pretty familiar with the brand).

    Thank you!

    I bought a black 94 Lightning new that got totaled 4 months later when someone pulled out in front of me. Replaced it with a black 95. Wish I still had it. Nice Bronco, my son's new daily driver is a 95 Bronco Eddie Bauer. He loves it.

    My college roommate had a white one as well. He was willing to let it go for 5k. Being a broke college student I didn't have the cash.

    Man your trucks look super clean.
