Nascar Malibu

[UNGN]

With no inner fenders in front, rocks and road debris thrown up by the tires will dent the hood and fenders from the underside and crack the paint. Something to think about.

7/16 or 12mm studs?

Greetings 84dragcut & all; I want to thank you for posting the video's & info. How much NasCar history can you remember from late 70's & early 80's? What year did the "A-G" body's become eligible? And do you remember the #28 Le Mans prepared by Robert Yates that won the Busch Clash, sat on the pole & led all but the last two laps? What year 80 - 81? I was under the impression that Nascar out lawed the Malibu & Le Mans body soon after that race? I seem to remember something about the sloped back window being so much faster that it wasn't fair to the other brands & manufactures? Then of course the 84 - 85 Thunderbird arrive & just drive away from all the GM veridical back windowed want a be Cadillacs of the day. Anyway I'd better sign off before I make any of my fellow vertical back windowed "A-G" car brothers think I'm bias. Ole' Bob

I can't remember the date G bodies first ran in Cup but I can say that May of 1989 they were outlawed and replaced by the "Lumina". When nascar went with FWD bodies.

Side Note - The G bodies in Cup were not 108" WB

I acquired a 1985 Monte SS with on a trade 12 years ago. It was black, tinted windows, lowered 2", 4.10 gear. The last guy kept the motor and wheels. It definitely had a hard life from the previous owners but looked great from 20 feet.
I installed a used, stock 5.7 Vortec with an intake and carb, New Black 15x8 Aero wheels with used BFG 275/60/15 on all 4 corners!
The thing looked Badass going down the road!!! I didn't have it 3 days and a young lad had to have it and gave me 6800.00 for the car. I didn't want to sell it but I only had 2800.00 invested.
Everyone loved the Nascar vibe, look of the car. I'm sure yours will get lots of attention!!!

What? Lowered with 275s all around???

I guess you 're-shaped' the front wheelwells to turn the car. 275 or even 255/60s on 15x8 w/ 4" BS wheels wouldn't fit mine upfront... even with the stock 'nose up' springs in the front those rubbed.

Think '80/'81 since B bodies ran until '80 with 3rd gen A bodies. '81 was only 4th gen A bodies. I do remembering the '81 LeMans were deemed to slippery & banned for being too aero.

Your right, nascar allowed them in back in 81.
The Olds nose was the one to have in the beginning (pre AeroCoupe) on super speedways with early Gs and late As,
Some guys ran Chevy everywhere except Daytona/Talladega. Terry Labonty comes to mind in the 44 car.

I have some "Nascar" lug nuts if you want them.

Nascar Malibu? All I see are Pontiacs. Must be my selective vision acting up...
They also cut the rear 1/4 panel, jacked up on the rear bumper, then filled/welded in the gap to create a "factory" spoiler affect.

Those would go good on the car
