Ooh baby. 

This is my first car. I got it and starting building it with my mom's boyfriend when I was 15. He told me when I was like 7 or so that he give me his Jaguar when I was old enough to drive. And when I was about 12 or 13 I was like "so in a couple years you're giving me the Jaguar right?" And he was like "uhhhh I'll get you a nice old muscle car you like" so I said a 1969 hemi barracuda. And he said he'll see what he could do. 

Originally it was white with a soft top. When I took off the vinyl it had spots rusted through where you could stick your fingers through. So we went to a junkyard and cut the top of another one and welded it to Vicki. 

I wanted it flat black with the gold stripe. 

As for the Malibu bit, it's just a body style for the Chevelle. 

Most people say one or the other, "it's a Malibu" "it's a Chevelle!" But technically it's both🤷🏽 I took off all the emblems though and should stop saying Malibu because I want to plug in a 454 and make it look like it's an SS🤷🏽 

 Got it! Idk man I'm kind of an SBC fanboy. You don't need no stinking big block to make some power anymore :) 

 Nah my 307 is pretty rad actually. Sounds mean. And I mean I'm never really going above 80 anyway unless I'm showing off 🤷🏽

So you're probably right. 

Plus in the 70 Chevelles if you go big block there's no room for the air conditioner which suuuuckkkssss in LA
