Ok welcome to my page my names Mark, and this is my 1978 Chevy Malibu Sedan aka "Malibutay".

Muney's 1978 Chevrolet Malibu

These are the before pictures of it I just started finding parts for it its taken me a while but I just found the time and the money to put into this project.

I must add that this is my very very very first car lol. I was car shopping for a caprice classic when I came across a white 79 malibu. The guy was selling it for 1200 I had 1300 in my pocket. He told me he was going to put a new engine in it because the one it has was basically no good at all. So I go back a week later and the price had changed and was now 2,000. Sadly to say after that day I was giving up hope on finding a car. This happend saturday, so sunday comes around and I'm in the classifieds looking for a cheap car. What do ya know a guy was selling a 78 malibu for 800 bucks and nothing was wrong with the car AT ALL. Whew I called him and it was bought in full that day. And thats when I took this pic Muney's 1978 Chevrolet Malibu

As you can see from the pictures its been thru a rough couple of decades lol. I'll have it to tip top shape in no time. Currently it has a v6 as I stated before but soon to be a 383 Stroker I just purchased as you can see from the picture lol. So no no photoshop editing.

Other modifications will include a new paint job, redesigned interiror, 383 stroker decal on the rear above the word Malibu. Enjoy the rest of the pictures I will be updating this page with new pictures as alterations are made thanks for stopping by. Also if you have any information on replacement parts or where I can find more parts for my malibu please help me out and post a comment or link or sumthing lol.

In the mean time check out the other pictures

Muney's 1978 Chevrolet Malibu

Muney's 1978 Chevrolet Malibu

Muney's 1978 Chevrolet Malibu

Ever since the day I bought it I've washed it like crazy just so happen to take a nice pic of it that day though lol.

Muney's 1978 Chevrolet Malibu

As I said earlier the very furst pic I took of the Malibutay.

Muney's 1978 Chevrolet Malibu

A a nice pic of the lil v6 motor thats in it. Its funny wen I went to buy the 350 the guy argued me up and down that only chrysler's came with 3.3 engines. Then he bet me 200 off the 350 and bam I came out right 3.3 engine was only put in the 78 4 door malibu. Ha take that.

Muney's 1978 Chevrolet Malibu

This pic here is of the driver side door mane before I got those door panels off a 80 malibu there wasnt anything there at all everytime I closed the door pieces of the door panel would fall off.

Muney's 1978 Chevrolet MalibuThese are the pics of the back door panels both left and right side Muney's 1978 Chevrolet Malibu

Muney's 1978 Chevrolet Malibu

This is the most up to date pic now its has 5% tint on the windows and '78 Malibu on both the stationary back windows and a Chevy symbol on the back window I don have the pic for that one yet though lol but it all goes together with the Antique Tags b-)

And finally the picture of the 350 motor I bought I'll have the pics of my machanic working on it later lol adding the 383 stroker kit.

Muney's 1978 Chevrolet Malibu <---Rebuilt 350 about 2 months ago...just added the stroker kit...Comp Cam Thumpr Cam....Flowtech Headers....holley 650 carburator...holley intake....Summit racing dress up kit...mane its lovely pics coming soon

---UPDATE 383 Stroker----

Finally got around to putting this motor together. It's now a 383 stroker which cost a heck of a lot of mula. 3 inch Dynomax headers, with 3 inch Original 40 series flowmasters. Motor has a few extras to it the nothing major, but its a longgggg way from a regular small block 350 lol. Post me a commment and tell me what ya think lol.

Its not a drag car but I have a nos system for it that hasnt been installed. I'm still debating on it, but hey tell me what ya think I should do lol.

From a 200 cubin inch 3.3 v6 to a 5.7 350 :D I wish I knew what they rated a 383 at lol.
