According to Wikipedia, the Iraqi 1981 Malibus came with a combination of the lowest-spec offerings, with the 110-horsepower carbureted V6 and 3-speed manual transmission (w/floor shifter). They also came with AC, a heavy-duty cooling system, AM-FM cassette deck, front bench seat, 200 km/h speedometer, tweed and vinyl upholstery, and 14-inch body-color steel wheels with small hubcaps.
So yes, while there are a few different changes, it would be relatively easy to recreate it with a custom config. Also, fun fact: They didn't end up shipping all of them out, so they just sold the rest of the surplus to Canadian citizens for $6,800.

That's an entirely different car from the Caprice

Well, that's the car that they are mentioning, unless Chevy made another deal with a Middle Eastern country in the 80s

Oh, my bad. I don't really know my Chevy products, so I got them confused.

I'm not sure if anyone noticed, but the drip rails should be chrome.

I was wondering what made the sedan look so off
