a 77 malibu 2dr is a big ass car and then add 2 more doors.. not something you wanna be racing.. but i will say there is not many malibus that yr with 350's in them most had a 305... i used to own one. they are tanks.. seem mine hit an escort. pushed the rear of his car to the backseat and the malibu drove off with a scuff on the front bumper...
