        Gs are awesome. You can fit any motor/engine combo you want, and all the Grand National and Monte Carlo SS stuff bolts in. If you can find a GN 200 trans and posi rear, grab it.

        Also these cars are pretty lightweight, not much over 3000 lbs I think. A malibu coupe with a 4 headlight ElCo grill looks awesome.

              Holy crap, I haven't heard the name Food Lion in a long time. Moved here from Mass in 1989 lol.

                My mom had a ~1980 malibu. It was a POS. I wrecked it in ~88 when I was 16. My dad thanked me later.

                +1 on the donk, though. Donks are the best.

                  Just can't get past the donk platform, I'm sure they can be cool but the body style does nothing for me.

                    just pretend you didn't see the last pic! ;)

                    But yeah, it is true that the car has a bad rap because of the prolific donkery that goes on with these things. It's sad, because the same car can be a bad ass muscle car that runs 9s.

                        We usually have Caprice and Impalas down here that are donked out.

                          i love G-bodys! Never had a Malibu though, just a 81 Regal and 85 Grand National





                          My grandma still has her 78 Monte Carlo that she bought brand new and has been garage kept since the day she bought it. A couple of my friends in high school had the Malibus. One was like the maroon one that was posted, and the other was an ex cop car, but it was a 2 door! Both had 350s. Also, there is a gold Malibu around here that shows up at the shows, and it has a big block with 4 speed in it!!!

                          1992 BMW 325iC
                          1978 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
                          1965 Chevrolet Corvair Monza 140hp

                              I love the g-body! The two doors and wagons are such awesome platforms. If I can't get in a mid 60s muscle car then I will probably try to pick up a g-body to mess with. Almost picked up a 64 Tempest to make similar to the 64 GTO my dad used to own but missed out, now trying for a 65 skylark.

                                Funny, I was just looking at an Auto and RV magazine and IIRC there was a Chevy Malibu in it that caught my eye, looked similar to the burgandy one posted except it was blue. I thought it looked pretty rad, a lot less flashy than a Camaro yet still looked like it was down to business.
