This is mostly about the 65 NASCAR Impala that was found and is being restored but about 3/4 of the way down the page is a few picture of a 74-5 Malibu at Laguna Seca, pretty nice picture.

Notice the Corvette exhaust manifolds in the engine2 picture? That is what I wanted on my engine and I let my engine builder talk me into Comp headers. If I had the money I would hunt up those headers and redo the hundreds of dollars worth of exhaust work I did on it. The spoiler on the 76 Chevelle looks exactly like mine. I am glad I left mine satin black. JB

Judging from the front bumper, it's a 74. Notice how slender it looks.

Maybe they put a 74-5 bumper on a 76-7? Those are for sure quad headlight buckets.

Not so sure about the quad headlights. Covers can be deceiving.

True. But look at the one on the drivers side. Looks like you can see the square opening all the way around.

Looks like you are probably right about the headlights. The driver was Gary Johnson & it's a 1976 Chevelle. He ran a 73 Dodge up until race #3 in the 1976 season, when he switched to a 76 Chevelle sponsored by Noble Auto Parts. Strange that it has a 74 front bumper though & even stranger that it isn't a Laguna being a new Nascar race car in 1976.

TECHNICALLY

If it was a Malibu, then it was a Chevelle. If it had quad headlights, then it was a Malibu Classic, not a Malibu. Smartass.
