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.
