First time on Station Wagon forums

Hello to all,
Just purchased 1983 Chevrolet Malibu CL wagon. Original car with a GM Good wrench 350 motor. Good overall condition, White with Blue Vinyl interior. Great project car has original Dealer warranty paper work in the glove box. Car is about 90% original, power windows, cruise, tilt, car has original 14X6 steelie wheels with rare Cragar S/S wire hubcaps [woo-woo]. Still has the old pancake type catalytic convertor in place!!!! This will be the first thing to go!!!! Well, It's been a long time since I had an old Chevy to play with, this is going to be a blast.
Thanks Mike

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

to the forums!

Would love to see some pics, I just picked up a 83' bu myself not too long ago and loving it so far.

 

Lets see the wagon and lets see these hub caps! I've never heard of "Crager" hub caps before, I'm curious. The only thing I found searching was these for a golf cart...

 

Welcome man!!

Thanks for joining from all of us.

to the wagon train, Mike. You will have fun with that bu. Post up some pix when you can.

 

You will find a "New Post" button at the top of the page. Click on "Welcome Wagon", click "New Post", then enter your post. As it is, you have infringed on michaelbluewolf's intro. You will receive replies and welcomes to your new intro but may be ignored here. It is generally considered rude to hi jack someone else's thread with non related subject matter. I welcome you and hope that you will introduce yourself in the Welcome Wagon with your own post so that all our members will have a chance to see your intro and respond.

 

You're in the right section, JTC, just in somebody else's intro post. Do your own by going to "Introductions" section, then clicking on 'New Post'.

Oh - and welcome, Michael!!!

 

Glad your having a blast with your new(old) wagon...just curious what does the CL stand for? Sounds like you made a great find there...are you able you post a few pictures? aboard hope you have a blast here too.

 

classic = cl

 

Thanks to all, for the welcoming thoughts and words. I have been wide open here lately, had a motorcycle I was selling to be replaced by the Malibu Wagon. I will have to take some pics in the next couple days and get them posted. I too, have been puzzled as to the origin of the Cragar hubcaps. I seem to remember seeing them for sell in California some 15 to 20 years ago, like the car they are in fairly good shape. I will try to reply sooner in the future. The car drives great the power windows need work verrrryyy slllooww to go up or down. Hey, I worked as a technician at a Chevy dealership back then when these car were new, so I can think of nothing that I can't repair or replace on this little car. I will do updates as time goes on.
Thanks to all, Michaelbluewolf
