Description:
GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR FOURTH GENERATION MALIBU ENTHUSIASTS. THIS CLASSIC HAS EVOLVED THROUGH THREE SEPERATE INCARNATIONS IN THE HISTORY OF THE CAR. BORN AS A NO FRILLS, SIX CYLINDER, NO A/C, GROCERY GETTER. TRANSFORMED INTO A RADICAL STREET MACHINE. NOW HAS BEEN RECONFIGURED TO A NICE, AGGRESSIVE, VERY STREETWORTHY CRUISER/STREET MACHINE. MILEAGE ON ODOMETER DISPLAYS A LITTLE OVER 7,700. ACTUAL MILEAGE UNKNOWN. REPAINTED IN CORVETTE WAR BONNET YELLOW. MODIFIED, BUT VERY STREETWORTHY DRIVE TRAIN. VERY NICE STOCK FACTORY INTERIOR. THE FOURTH GENERATION MALIBU IS WILDLY POPULAR AT THE DRAG STRIPS, AND THE AFFORDABILITY OF THE CARS HAS LAUNCHED THEM INTO THE FOREFRONT OF THE CLASSIC CAR HOBBY. A NICELY BUILT MALIBU CAN BE PURCHASED FOR A FRACTION OF THE COST OF A CHEVELLE OR CAMARO. THIS IS ONE OF THE NICEST EXAMPLES OF THIS MODEL THAT YOU WILL FIND IN THIS PRICE RANGE. RUNS AND DRIVES AS WELL AS IT LOOKS. DON'T LOSE THIS OPPORTUNITY.

As stated above, this beauty has a unique history. Originally a base model, with six cylinder engine and no air conditioning. A family grocery getter. The car was then reconfigured into a ground pounding street machine, with a 383 stroker engine. Finally, a decision was made to tame the beast into a mildy modifed, extremely drivable street machine.

Southern body has been refinished in War Bonnet Yellow, which was available on Corvettes. The original color appears to be Camel Poly, which is still present under the hood, in the trunk, and the door jams. Base coat, clear coat that has never been wet sanded and buffed. Although the current exterior has a glossy shine, a wet sand and buff would significantly enhance the finish. All steel cowl hood. Dual sport mirrors. GM Rally Wheels with derby caps and trim rings. Radial tires all the way around. Radial Touring P195/65R15 on the front. Cooper Trendsetter P225/70R15 on the rear. Rear spoiler added. All glass is in very good shape. Chrome and stainless bright work in very good shape. Both bumpers are in great shape. Seals and weatherstripping in very nice condition.

The monster stroker engine was removed and replaced with a rebuilt 350 Cu. In. engine. Edelbrock Competition Series carburetor mounted on an Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold. Cast iron heads. Hydraulic cam and valve train. HEI ignition. Headers flow through an X pipe, then split out to a dual Flowmaster Exhaust. Exhaust dumps out behind rear axle. Turbo automatic transmission. Shift kit and 2200 RPM stall converter. Column shifted. Ten bolt differential. Heavy duty coil springs with heavy duty shock absorbers. Undercarriage is not highly detailed. However, it is extremely clean and rock solid. Trunk is very clean. Spare tire and jack are present.

Factory Saddle bench seat interior. Seats and cushions of the front and back seat are in very good condition. Front door panels in very good condition. Rear panels have some sun fading, but could easily be redyed. Headliner in nice condition. Dash is in good condition, with a few minor cracks. Carpet is in good shape. Power steering. Power disc brakes. A set of gauges were mounted in the driver pillar, but they have been removed. There are three Sun Pro gauges, volts, oil pressure, and water temperature mounted in the dash. All gauge faces are all clear. There is an electric fuel pump switch on the left side of the dash. This is disconnected, as there is now no electric fuel pump. There is also a master cutoff switch under the dash, which is functional. Full set of seat belts. AM/FM/CD with nine inch coaxial speakers in the package shelf, round speakers in rear door panels, and front.

If you are looking for a quality, fourth generation, nice looking and driving Malibu, at an unbelievable price, take a close look at this one. You won't be disappointed.
