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.
