now ive sunk big money in it.. it has full aftermarket suspension, global west LCA, SC&C UCA. GW springs, double adj Varishocks, delalums, 1-5/8 GW sway bar.. boxed frame, solid body mounts, Currie curectrac rear controll arms, Fays 2 watts link, moser rear bear 12 inch rear brakes, ATS spindles, 13 inch Touring classics front brakes, hydra-boost, Heads, intake and Cam LS1 engine.. twistmashine paddleshifter, full leather interior, recaro seats and forgeline 18 inch wheels, two tone paint, adjustable spoiler, front splitter....but being a 79 malibu somhow disqualified it as being a Pro Touring car...

Seriously? I would take that as someone who's jealous of what you've built.

Your car is pro-touring all the way. Don't pay any attention to that dumb sh_t.

You should have laughed in his face and asked him what he considered pro-touring. 
The Malibu sounds pro-touring to me!

Deuce:
If you like your car, tell the Turd Head that said something demeaning to you about your car to, "Go Piss up a Rope."
Don't feel obligated to spend extra money for anyones approval other than your own.
A car is a personal thing that is shaped by you, your funding, your spouse or a mixture of things. (.... and I have my Wife's Permission To Say So.) ;-)
Take Care and, "Nil Illigitum Carborundum".

You got that translated spot on! It seems to be exceptionally helpful when your out in public and you just have to say something that fits.
Sometimes a Bastard needs to be called a Bastard, and nothing less. People who verbally "Dis" your ride that you have poured you Blood, Sweat, and Tears, not to mention a truck load of money on, need to be called out.
That's my .02. (I know your not suppose to give a sh*t what they think, but it still make my rear end red when it happens by a couple of jealous idiots)
Anyway, thanks for translating.
Ty
