Vehicle Description
1977 Chevrolet Malibu Classic
The Malibu nameplate was originally introduced in 1964 and started
life as a trim level applied to the Chevelle. It later became its
own model in the late 70s with a full redesign. Malibu proved to be
a popular vehicle for Chevrolet, so much so that after it was
dropped from the line up in 1983 it was brought back years later in
1997. The Malibu is still being produced today and after Impala was
discontinued in 2020 the Malibu remains as Chevrolets only mid size
sedan. This 1977 Malibu Classic is a pretty unique car with most
who are unfamiliar with them labeling it as a Monte Carlo on first
glance likely due to the similar stacked style of headlights. Based
on the cars condition and history we believe this car has been a
North Texas car since new. It has been repainted in a nice Bronze
Metallic that has a nice shine especially out in the sun. All of
the chrome pieces look great and this was back in an era where big
bumpers and large grills were very popular. All of the glass is
good as well with the very cool opera window mounted to the
fastback style roof line. The car has a great stance sitting on a
set of 15 inch American racing Torque Thrust wheels that look like
new. They are wrapped with BF Goodrich 55/60R15 tires. Should you
prefer the more original look the car does come with a set of 4
original rally wheels with beauty rings and center caps.
The car has had a ton of various work done to it making it into a
great driver. It is powered by its 305 V8 motor that runs great
with no smoking. It has new motor mounts, a new factory carburetor,
new rocker arms, a new high flow oil pump, and new true roller
timing chain (double row) and gear. It really runs out well. The
motor is paired with a Turbo 350 automatic transmission that
transfers power back to the 10 bolt rear end with 2:56 gears. The
motor isn't the only thing that has been redone however because it
has all new brakes/rotors/pads, new power steering box, new center
link, new end links, new ball joints, and new rear springs. The
brakes are power assist and have discs up front. The AC was also
converted over to 134 which is a very nice upgrade to have. It
blows cold and is much easier to get recharged (or do yourself)
than it was originally.
The interior on the car is in really great shape throughout. The
front split bench seat has been reupholstered and matches the rest
perfectly. The carpet, door panels, vinyl upholstery, dash and
headliner all look good. The dash has a stock appearance with all
of the original gauges, knobs, and even the woodgrain trim. The
only real modification is the AM/FM player with Aux port so you can
hook up your phone and play your favorite tunes. That being said
the system used has a very vintage look and the car also comes with
its original AM/FM/8 track player that was professionally restored.
The trunk of the car is carpeted and houses the spare as well as
original jack and tools.
This Malibu Classic is a really neat car and you just don't see a
lot of them out there. If you are looking for a unique classic at a
very competitive price, this might just be the car for you.
