Awesome find and an awesome wife. Nice to see MCOTW back again! 🙏🏼

[@MuscleCarOfTheWeek]

We always like to share cool car stories! Thanks for the kind words!

[@richarddevoe5871]

I absolutely love it ! My first car was a 68 Malibu 327 (I believe L-79) with a 4-speed, roll tach, 4:10 posi 12 bolt blue with black vinyl top and white interior. White is now my favorite color on a car … what a great gift from an awesome wife ! You never forget your first car and oh man I had some crazy times in that car… front and backseat 😮

Welcome back

[@MuscleCarOfTheWeek]

Thanks Jonny - we've got a lot of cool videos to share!

[@troynov1965]

I would take that over a SS 396 any day! Its a keeper. The 327 is one fine small block and I love bench seats. The options on it are just icing on the cake...........Congrats on your gift!

[@andrewmoser4118]

Let me ask ya why?

[@troynov1965]

@@andrewmoser4118 Well one thing I like the 327 over the 396. Plus its lighter engine so makes for better handling and braking. I just like the plain jane looks over the SS and it is very well optioned. Only thing I would prefer on it is 4 on the floor.

[@thefettfan3994]

If someone gave a present of that beautiful featured automobile, I'd drive and drive forever and then some. Some people have all the luck indeed. Nice story and presentation guy's!!!!!

[@MuscleCarOfTheWeek]

We agree! Thanks for the kind words!

[@deancoleman8969]

There are all kinds of surprises in performance from the small block 327.

[@markhellman-pn3hn]

the car is the star !! .... the exhaust sound is FLAWLESS !!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Love the '68 👍👍

[@GlobalWestSuspension]

We see those Global West Arms peeking through! Great looking car! Awesome surprise from the wife! This was a great story and video!

[@Swoose17]

Those are some great options.

[@barryrussell4106]

Drove a yellow 69 ss had a 427 transplanted factory 4 speed 12 bolt in the 80s Got some cool fast cars but wish I had that one. Our dream cars are our old cars no matter how many new ones we get.

[@michaelbaumgardner2530]

Electric windows,in all my years I didn't know that was an option in 68,beautiful car.

[@petemedina8446]

Sweet ride very cool options definitely a keeper there🎉🎉

[@paratrooperlane7022]

1968 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Classic Muscle Car

[@canadaverydry]

Viva Malibu!! : )

[@mlp-hot-rod5824]

Yeah, it's very cool. I'd personally swap a TKX into it, bucket seats & console, suspension kit, and a new alum radiator with electric fans. Otherwise, it looks great. He's a lucky man.

[@MuscleCarOfTheWeek]

Right on! The Global West suspension upgrade did a lot for this car. TKX would be cool over the bench!

[@mlp-hot-rod5824]

@MuscleCarOfTheWeek True, and it would help preserve the lifespan of that original 327. Much like a heart, the slower it runs, the longer it lasts.

[@garymckee8857]

I had a 69 SS 396 Chevell that had the same fiber optic light package.

[@scootosan]

Hey any chance his wife has a sister with the same qualities... I'm available. I like the "oddities" .... from the days when you could create your own instead of the now cookie cutter dictator options now. The 327 is a good power plant. The Malibu (stripe less) all the better and the options on it oh man it is awesome. Nothing wrong with updating the Go and Stop parts... that's a sweet ride, enjoy. It's not how fast you get there but how... and this a perfect example of How.

[@RaceCar21]

MCOTW coming back with weekly content?

[@MuscleCarOfTheWeek]

We have a lot of video on the way, we'll publish as often as we can. Thanks for hanging out with us!

[@jacksonmarshallkramer5087]

The motor needs to be pulled and send off to the machine shop for the big hp upgrades. It's small, but a 327 can be very mighty.

[@johnmartinelli5511]

Only 68 Chevelle to own was the L78 - 396/375 h.p.!! Or, L89 -396 with aluminum heads!! Both were 375- detuned(so Gm.. said), actually 425h.p. used in first year BB vette, 1965!!

[@MarkLee-bp9jk]

My dad purchased same car but maroon it had the L 79 327 and 4 spd one week after returning from Vietnam. Couldn't afford the L 78 SS Chevelle.
