1978 Chevrolet Malibu Classic Estate Station Wagon review from North America
"A definite SLEEPER!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Frame rails in the back got thin (typical of the model)
Being an (ORIGINAL FACTORY 4 SPEED CAR), I did DRAG race this car, so I did break a few things, but nothing I couldn't repair (correctly)!
General comments?
A very nice family friendly car. You can fit (6).
I am the second owner of the car, I have been trying to find out if anyone can help me with production numbers or rarity of this car??? VIN 1W35U8K568317.
Have every receipt since day one. Have Build sheet, Order sheet, Window Sticker.

It has full instrumentation (no Idiot Lights), Factory Tach., Posi., 305 CID V8, and of course a 4 Speed.
Still all Matching Numbers.
Beat a 340 4 Speed Duster (he was sleeping at the lights).
