Vehicle Description
When ordinary just won't cut it, this 1978 Chevrolet Malibu answers
the call. Built from the ground up since 2005, this street machine
evolved from a mild-mannered V6 into an asphalt-eating monster. The
sinister black paint lays across every curve, while the lightweight
fiberglass front and rear bumpers plus hood shed precious pounds. A
GNX-inspired attitude flows through the fender vents, while the
15-inch Rally wheels wrapped in meaty 245/60R15 rubber plant this
machine firmly on the street. Modern touches like carbon fiber
B-pillars, an upgraded 1982-83 front clip, and high-output
headlights complete this Malibu's street-fighting arsenal.
The cockpit means business with its black and gray battle station
setup. Race-ready bucket seats take inspiration from the legendary
Buick Grand National, keeping you planted when the g-forces kick
in. The dash tells the real story through AutoMeter gauges, while
the B&M Pro Ratchet shifter clicks through gears with military
precision. A removable Grant steering wheel adds extra security,
and the AM/FM CD player brings the soundtrack. Out back, the trunk
houses a competition-grade fuel cell and battery box setup.
The 355 cubic inches of Detroit muscle breathe easy through a 298
cam and 10.5:1 compression ratio. A 700R4 4-speed automatic
transmission with a rowdy 2300-stall converter puts the power down.
Cooling stays on point with dual electric fans, a Flex-a-lite unit,
and an aluminum radiator. QA1 coilovers out back work with
beefed-up upper and lower control arms up front for precise
handling. Long tube headers feed into a Flowmaster dual exhaust
that announces your arrival. Power disc brakes bring this street
warrior to a halt when duty calls.
