   COMPLETED RESTORATION

"I couldn't let another winter go by and possibly loose the car to
a crusher or time so I transported it back to California for a 4 to almost 5 year full restoration.
 
I never really wanted to do
a marked car before as those seemed far fetched to even have, although I have saved
a few unmarked ones over
the years, namely box Caprices. Nonetheless everything just
came together for this car as
I obtained a real door shield
as well as an actual Whelen
5000 light. After I started on
the car, I even obtained a real plate!" ~ by Eric Kurz

The Restoration of a 1983 Chevy Malibu (Part-2)
Pennsylvania State Police Patrol Vehicle

Believe it or not I have so many original pieces still in the car looking brand new such as the full interior is all ORIGINAL: the seats, fabric, dash, door pieces, even the rubber floor! It also has the original engine and tranny so numbers are matching for your museum!

Furthermore it runs great! (a side note, it
still had 2 original Goodyear GT tires on it
when I pulled it from the yard so it wasn't
used very much before a minor accident
forced it into the depths of this yard from
1990-2004!!)
