Hey oppo, did a Malibu ever race in Nascar with this paint scheme? I know Earnhardt raced a red/white/blue Malibu like this in '76, but I've never seen this black/white scheme before.

That ad really showcases how uninteresting the modern Malibus are

My favorite C&H of all time.

Feeding your kids BS is fun. It's probably also a good way to get your kids to become better critical thinkers.

Who am I kidding? I do it for the lulz.

As far as I know , this is a cheap replica reminiscent of that Earnhardt/Rutherford #77, but the only other scheme for a #77 Malibu I've found is a simple white car with blue numbers (Rutherford). The next driver to drive the car had it renumbered to #47. Given the car's high stance and bumpers, it's clear not much modification has been done to the car in the picture, so I have no reason to presume it has an authentic paint scheme.
