For Sale: 1978 Chevrolet Malibu in Lithia Springs, Georgia

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.
