My first car was my uncles silver 1977 Malibu, a 2 door, 350 engine 2 barrel with barely any extras other than a cassette player. And it had hubcaps instead of those much nicer looking wheels. Got it in the summer of 1984. And a VERY bad paint job! GM cars back then did a horrible job if you bought a car with metallic paint. They turned into sandpaper and rust a few years later. I got a new paint job with red pinstripes and it looked a lot better! BUT, even worse problems. Like many GM dashboards, it was all cracked from the Texas heat. The vinyl upholstery in the drivers seat was torn. The air conditioning didn’t work. And I didn’t get any praise for my car! Kids that thought they knew all about muscle cars didn’t even know I was driving one that had potential! But I enjoyed it. I liked the vertical dashboard of the speedometer and the rectangular blinkers that had a loud bling bong sound to them. And a sticky steering wheel I had to put one of those covers on. Now I’m stuck with a 2007 Prius and 2015 Camaro. They’ll never have the magic this car did!

The 305.cc.engine was a so-so one with 115hp.I put a 1966 327.cc.small Jurnal,crank oversized berings ,11:1 flat top pistons,202,160cc.heads bolt in studs ported and polished etc,etc. so on so on. As for the grills,I liked the 1977 honeycomb as the 1976 grill was straight bars like.I had a 75 laguna t3.front end that would of went on but I didn't do it.The grills of 76 &77 was the only difference that changed.I used the 10 bolt posi. out of the Laguna for my 76 Chevy Malibu .

nice car, I had a 76 milibu but with the inline 250 long block 6 cylinder it was rusted,and was running fine 149000miles I was still in high school 1991 at the time so I couldn't do much with it, it was brown with a bench seat but dam would love to have that car now cause there is so much I could do now with it . that was my first car, did you do all the work yourself?

The front and rear bumpers are original....Ive had them re-chromed though. As far as the dash, they are notorious for cracking on the top right across the center speaker vent. A nice original dash with no cracks is VERY hard to find...and VERY hard and tedious to put back in. You can check ebay and craigslist for them though. There are many companies that carry a dash pad for our cars though. They are just a plastic cap that fits over the original one. Just places like The Parts Place and
