Default 1983 Chevrolet Malibu info request

1st: Hi all!

then; perlease somebody, anybody help me out. Now let me tell a story..............

I am from Northern Ireland and have seen a '83 Chevy Malibu 5L V8 CL?? for sale. I am really tempted by this proposition (classic, american, big engine,etc.) but really can not find any info on this rare animal.

Can anyone help with any specs for this wagon, such as BHP, engine size, rear wheel drive, reliability, and general opinions????

Any feedback will be more than welcome

Thanks in advance,
Andy
