Description : Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis is proud to present this 1979 Chevrolet Malibu 5.3 LS! This ride has been tastefully customized with a lot of high end parts and paint!
Under the hood of this 1979 Malibu street cruiser is a 5.3 LS-based V8. To simplify installation and future maintenance the factory intake was swapped to a more correct looking carburetor style intake/fuel system. What looks like a carburetor is actually Holley fuel injection! This combo seems to be the perfect combination of LS performance, but with some old school tricks!
This vehicle was purchased by the current owner for Temecula, CA five years ago, and had much of the work seen here done professionally. The paint and body was done by a professional shop, and much of the mechanical appears to be correctly done as well.
Some additional goodies include custom exhaust, 890 lift camshaft, heavy duty valve springs, Moser front springs, rear air shocks, 3.73:1 posi-traction, pro-built transmission with 3,200 RPM stall converter, and 4 core-electronically-cooled-aluminum radiator.
This 1979 Chevrolet Malibu 5.3 LS is offered by the St. Louis sales staff and can be seen in full detail on our website. Our listing all include 100+ HD photos and a detailed video! GatewayClassicCars.com

About Chevrolet
Chevrolet aka Chevy, founded in 1911 by Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant is the best selling and biggest brand by General Motors -mainly due to low pricing. No wonder Chevy the "working man's car" has become such an iconic part of Americana in films and pop-culture.
When talking about Chevy one must not ignore Chevrolet small-block V8 the world's most produced engine that has been in production since 1955 and still going strong.
Surprisingly, "America's only sports car" Corvette was introduced under Chevrolet brand rather than its own. To us the most memorable Corvette has to be The second generation (C2) Corvette, Sting Ray.
To compete with VW Beatle Chevrolet introduced Corvair a compact automobile built in 1960–1969 It was the only American designed, mass-produced passenger car to feature a rear-mounted air-cooled engine. Corvair handling was deemed notoriously bad mainly due to Ralph Nader's Unsafe at Any Speed. Although, any handling issues were soon solved the reputation did stick.
With Pony / Muscle car mania taking over the Americans, following the introduction of Ford Mustang, Chevrolet came up with one of its most famous models Camaro. During the first year alone they managed to sell 220,906 Camaros.
