This 1978 Chevrolet Malibu is one of those cars that just gets cooler the more you look at it. Sure, we all grew up with these buzzing around by the hundreds, but when was the last time you saw one decked out like this beauty? And with a recently built, stout 350 cubic inches under the hood, this is no late \'70s wheezer, either! Nicely finished to a level belying its contemporaries, this cool Chevy deserves closer examination.
These became so familiar back in the day that it\'s worthwhile to stand back and take a second look today. Pretty good looking car, isn\'t it? Clean lines, a chiseled roof profile, and great proportions make it a car that suddenly stands out in a crowd. The dark gray paint with killer metallic flakes was borrowed from Cadillac\'s late-\'80s palette and it keeps the finish from being too in-your-face, which is a good thing because the mechanicals do that part of the job just fine. It\'s remarkable to find one this straight and clean, and someone has obviously invested ta good deal of cash in making it look good. The steel hood was trimmed out to account for the breathers, shiny bright chrome was added for an aggressive look, but those are the only notable deviations from stock, but it works rather well on this big coupe and makes room for the burly small block underneath. Finish quality is very good, and anyone would be proud to show off this Malibu\'s handsome good looks. The front and rear bumpers are bulky and covered in chrome, which gives it a clean, modern look, and all the lenses are in excellent, clear shape.
