About The Malibu
Just a bit of info
Clean Missouri Title.
Passes Missouri safety inspection, emissions inspection exempt.
This car is in GREAT condition. Is it perfect? No, I mean its over 40 years old. At $30k firm, I'm taking a large loss, but we don't fix these cars up to recoup what we put into them. I have almost all the receipts. A lot of the work was done by myself and other professional institutions. The engine was installed by Hillside Automotive in O' Fallon MO. They did most of the mechanical work. AC system was installed by Midwest Speed and Fabrication.
Does the car have some flaws? Yes, she is not ready to go on Mecums Auction, but she is one sexy daily driver. There are a few areas that could stand some paint correction and repair. The front bumper fillers for example. I use this as a daily driver in the better weather from O' Fallon MO, to work off Tesson and Lindberg, so she is reliable.
Appraisal can be found in the PDF section as well as the link below. This appraisal is a bit dated, as its before I replaced the motor mounts, and added the AC.

Things to be aware of
Fuel gauge does not reflect 100% tank level. I have the matching fuel sender for the gauge, but a new tank would be needed as well as some minor fabrication to utilize.
I gave up on looking for correctly fitting rear interior window trim clips.
Video
Walk Around
My first walk-around, sorry for the bobbing. A lot has been done to the BU since this was taken.
Crate 350
Just your standard engine running video.
Duels, no catback, no "x" connection.
Video is self explanatory
Its not a Chevelle, its a Malibu. For the 1978 model year, the Malibu name, which had been the bestselling badge in the lineup, replaced the Chevelle name and stood on its own.
