Hello. My name is Bret. I have a '74 Malibu Classic. It is light blue with a white vinyl roof, midnight blue cloth interior, 400 with new transmission. I have parked it since '09. I'd like to start restoring the interior and exterior. It will be a slow process, but I'm really looking for help finding parts.
Right now I'm interested in finding the driver's side remote sport mirror, the rear body to bumper filler, one rally hubcap with Chevrolet Motor Division stamped on it, and new upholstery. I'd really like some cross reference for the mirrors so I know which other models and years will fit. I've found the filler from replica plastics but would like some opinions on that product. I've found many upholstery suppliers, but most only offer all vinyl; mine is cloth with vinyl on the sides. None of the color options list midnight blue, which is on the build sheet. I'm also interested in leather if anyone knows how to get that. I guess the hub cap is not that hard to find.
Please let me know about good places to find these items.
Thanks,
Bret

there's a company in California that can do your seats in leather. It's would be pricey. Here's their number:

714-701-3620

Yeah I am hoping to get up there this week end he says he has an extra nose in excellent shape even better then theone on the car. All new window gaskets the original 400block and crank,dash pad spare quarters, deck lid, and a load of literature and other misc parts. The bad news 10 hr drive one way if roads are good.

by Mcarlo77 Wed Feb 13, 2013 4:43 pm

Hey, Brett...welcome to the site! You'll get lots of helpful info here, buddy!

As for parts, I've got a remote driver side sport mirror and rear bumper fillers. Tell you what, if that guy who's 10 hrs away only has a good dash pad for you at a reasonable price, it's worth the drive. Keep us posted.

by Bret Mullikin Wed Feb 13, 2013 4:54 pm

Mcarlo77,
I'd like to know about your mirror and fillers. Please give me more info.
Thanks,
Bret

by Mcarlo77 Wed Feb 13, 2013 8:33 pm

I'll PM you with pics and information. Fillers are nice used ones I pulled off a '74 Malibu. The jury is still out with how well the repro fillers work. Some find them a p.i.t.a. and others are okay with making them work. Just ask for opinions...you'll get a few!

by 77mali Wed Feb 13, 2013 8:40 pm

Welcome Bret

I got a rear filler from Mcarlo77 a while back- very nice condition & reasonable $$$. I'll vouch for his good eye pulling parts.

by Darkcalling1 Wed Feb 13, 2013 9:05 pm

Hey M I think we are getting messed up on the thread here I am going to get a whole '76 Laguna it's a 10 hr 1 way trip I was just listing extra parts that come with it lol. $3500 whole car running solid frame looks ok he says whole car is good shape.

by Bret Mullikin Thu Feb 14, 2013 10:55 am

Thanks, guys. My passenger side filler crumbled to dust in my hands when I was waxing it to store for the winter. Bummer.

Hi my name is Cody I just got a 76 Laguna from my cousin for changing his ball joints on his, it was his dad's car and he passed away a few years ago and I told him how I loved the old car and wanted to fix it up it is all original but the engines been blown up then changed out and I know that car is worth some money like that but it's set in a field rusting for the last ten years so it's in ruff shape but still good enough to drive on the roads if I wanted the way it is the reason for it being parked is cuz my uncle drove it and the starter went out and they parked it. So on that note I want to fix it up the way I want with some go and ten inch wheels and tires on the back but stay true to the car and keep the 15s inch rallies that come on it new just want the ten inch off the corvette s on the back to give it the muscle car look. Thanks for having me on here and for all the help and leads.

by dynchel Sun Feb 17, 2013 1:24 pm

Corvette rallys are 8 inch. You would have to have them widened, or buy aftermarket 10 inch rally wheels. Very Happy
