The 1979 Chevrolet Malibu Wagon marks the dawn of a new era, tossing aside the Chevelle name like yesterday’s news. This generation is shorter, lighter, and more efficient, but for muscle car fans, it might be as thrilling as a Sunday drive with grandma. Under the hood, the lineup kicks off with a modest 200 CID-V6, climbing to a 305 CID V8 for those craving a bit more grunt. The wagon here, though, is a sleeper with IROC tune port induction and a 700R4 automatic, ready to surprise unsuspecting drivers.
