Overview of 1979 Chevrolet Malibu Sport Coupe For Sale by Owner

Malibu is a name from Chevy that even Gen Z will probably remember. After all, the Malibu was available right up until last year. But did you know where the Malibu legacy started? In 1964, Chevy used the Malibu to denote the top tier trim of their popular Chevelle mid-size car line-up. By 1978, Chevy spun off the Malibu from the Chevelle, as its own, distinctive model. Today’s 1979 Chevrolet Malibu comes from the fourth generation of the nameplate, which was when the spin-off occurred. This Richmond, Virginia-based coupe currently awaits a new owner, which might just be you. Get in touch with us if you feel that this symbol of Seventies automotive luxury deserves a place in your life.

Exterior and Interior

The squared-off lines of the fourth generation Malibu are nicely showcased by this 1979 Chevrolet Malibu’s maroon paint scheme and tinted windows. From the side, you can really see the car’s large glasshouse and sleek silhouette, as it rolls on a set of shiny Weld aftermarket alloy wheels. The car also bears stickers from well-known aftermarket component retailer JEGS, telling us that it’s received some attention there. Chrome bumpers, mirrors and trim lines complete what is a pretty sleek package. The interior of this 1979 Chevrolet Malibu can seat four adults on black vinyl seats. You can tell that the car has definitely been enjoyed, but it’s still in decently presentable shape. Some aftermarket gauges have been added, including a tachometer from Auto Gage, and there appears to be a rear console as well, with cup holders. There’s no visible radio, but you can easily fit something if you want music while driving this car. The dashboard hosts air vents but we don’t see a climate control panel either, again something that can easily be retro-fitted since there are plenty of choices from brands such as Vintage Air.

Engine

Powering this 1979 Chevrolet Malibu appears to be a V8 engine with Moroso cam covers and a Summit Racing air cleaner. We haven’t been told much about the drivetrain of this car, but we know that it’s rear-wheel drive and uses an automatic transmission to send power to the road.
