This brings back some memories... I had a blue 77 Malibu Classic and I installed the 75/76 Laguna opera window louvers painted to match the color of the car which made it very unique and quite stylish and they fit without any modifications
I LOVE DA CAR JUST BOUGHT ONE LAST WEAK STARTIN TO RESTORE IT HAVIN PROBLEMS FINDIN A GRILL AND REAR BUMPER....GLAD TO SEE ONE FINISHED...THE CAR IS OLDER THAN ME BUT IM A OL SOUL

ok people.... so many people seem to know so much more about my car than I do... I have had this car since it was new... this car IS a 77 Malibu Classic Landau.... it has been completely changed... it has a 74 front end, why??? because I wanted to change it!! I am so tired of people not reading earlier posts... i've already been through explaining thisstuff at least once...
Haham nice car! I have a 77' Malibu Classic as well, but not nearly as good condition. I love it though, the best car to drive in my opinion. I have the stock 305, with either 11000miles, or 21000 miles. Either way its still running great. Oh and mines RED. :D
I had the same 77 malibu also.305 elderbrock 600cfm2.5 straight duals with $20 cherry bombs. Earl Schibe $199midnite blue(looked black) Took 1990's stangs from a 15mph roll(3.08,s rear) all for $2500Getting laid for the 1st time in that HUGE back seat PRICELESS! Round lites look 1974ish Chevelle I took dark headlite tints from a bronco,cut em to 4 squares and fit em inside the metal headlite retaining ring!One day ill do it again!sweet car brother.. Where are yopu from?
That's clearly a classic. My step dad has a 74 Chevelle Malibu Classic and a 76 Malibu Classic. He doesn't like the 76 and 77 header panel so he put on the 73. 76 and 77 header panels just look ugly. Nice car man!
Awesome Malibu. Where did you get parts to redo the interior? Also the outside trim, etc. I have a 77 Malibu Classic 4 door and am having issues finding parts.
That was the last good year of Malibu‘s. After that, they were junk. I had a 1977 Malibu classic myself that had 350 2 barrel, engine, two-door, silver, and a red interior. The only extras it had was a cassette player and air conditioning, the latter which didn’t work. Is that the original paint job on it? GM’s metallic paint jobs were notoriously horrible in the 1970s and 1980s, they turned into sandpaper after a few years.
its nasty! did you swap out the front clip? mine has the double stacked headlghts. they ran those round ones in some 76 models but you already know it im sure
@todd77malibu By the way, have you ran it down the track? If so what does it run in 1/4? My step dad's runs 14.24. His is built like yours... very powerful and fast but isn't the quickest.
are you sure its a 77?i had a 77 malibu classic landau,the original color was same as yours,is that the original front piece,thought 77`s had 4 headlites dim/high beam lites,mine had 4 headlights.
i about to buy a 77 malibu for 6200, and its practically in showroom cond. 350 looks just like the one in this vid. my only concern, is that it didnt start up right away, how concerned should I be? any experts out there? fair price?
Nice Malibu! I like the swivel buckets and the homade console. My 74 had the swivel buckets, and I put them into my 77. Loved that car!!!!

really nice. I have one that's still original and in great shape. but getting ready for full Resturation . I really like the way yours looks
The '74 header panel really cleans up the front.

Love your car. Everyday I regret letting my b@#ch ex-wife making me sell my 76 Malibu. It had a rippin little 350 in it.
Nice car you don't live that far from me haha.

i like the light conversion on the front and the ss atripes where did you get the rear sway bar off of??
Nice '77. Check out my '73 when you get a chance.
How did you change the front clip like that? I really like the look!
thats funn we have the sam engine..idk what headers u got but we sound totaly diffrent
I just put a very similar setup in my 85 monte carlo. Is that the one with the Vortec heads, flat tappet lifters and 67 Corvette cam?
its nasty! did you swap out the front clip? mine has the double stacked headlghts. they ran those round ones in some 76 models but you already know it im sure
Bitchin whip!
Guys noob question: What is that circular structure that is mounted on top of the engine? I've always wondered what it was called.
@todd77malibu yeah i agree, I have a 75 malibu classic, and people call it a monte carlo, do you have problems with people like that too?
@todd77malibu By the way, have you ran it down the track? If so what does it run in 1/4? My step dad's runs 14.24. His is built like yours... very powerful and fast but isn't the quickest.
todd77malibu.. i forgot to ask you also whaere you got your hood and console from thanks again
