Vehicle Description
You're looking at the rare opportunity to own a standout classic.
There were less than 5,100 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu convertibles
produced in 1971, and very few convertibles ever came after this.
And this one is a nicely restored example to be a street-eating SS
tribute. So you get iconic lines, rarity, and even the right
upgrades in this powerful and classic V8 droptop.
When the sunlight hits this convertible, you can instantly tell
there was a well executed investment. With barely over 100 miles on
it since the full restoration, it's a true stunner. It takes a big
investment to get the black this glossy. And more than just the
paint, there were new panels expertly fitted so that you get a
solid classic that has a better fit than factory - oh yeah, this is
exactly the kind of classic that has people talking about your car
long after you've driven away. The dual white stripes draw
attention to the super scoop cowl hood, and they also combine with
the SS badges to provide a timeless contrast to the black. A
shining classic like this needs all the right brightwork, too. So
you'll love everything from the mirror-like chrome bumpers, to the
upgraded 15-inch American Racing Torq Thrust polished alloys.
While we love the way the black top coordinates with the interior,
it gets even better. With just the flip of a switch, the roof
lowers to reveal a full black restored interior. These might have
been the midsize Chevys back in the day, but there's plenty of room
for you to carry all your friends and family with the two rows of
bench seats. Plus, everyone can stay entertained thanks to the
Retrosound AM/FM stereo that features Memphis speakers and an iPod
input (yes, modern music in this very vintage ride!) And it sounds
crisp thanks to thoughtful details, like the FatMan sound
insulating material in the floor. But a convertible like this is
really about the driver. That's why the classic dual spoke steering
wheel gives you a clear view to the upgraded Dakota Digital VHX
readouts featuring a large speedo and tach.
The moment you see the engine bay, you can tell they built this
Chevelle to live up to its Super Sport appearance. The 400
cubic-inch V8 looks fresh, and it has all the right upgrades. This
includes a Holley carb, Edelbrock Air gap intake, RHS aluminum
heads, solid lifter gear drive cam, large capacity oil pan, Mickey
Thompson fined valve covers, Holley electric fuel pump, and an MSD
Ignition. The headers add even more power while contributing to the
rumble of the MagnaFlow dual exhaust. The three-speed automatic
transmission was built with a stall and shift kit, so it's nicely
paired to make the most out of this power package. As you look at
the undercarriage photos, you'll see more reminders of how fresh
this build is. And you'll spot plenty of new components, like the
springs, ball joints, tie rod ends, boxed lower control arms. Power
steering, power brakes w/discs up front, and meaty Cooper Cobra
tires complete this well-rounded performance package.
Complete with build receipts and service manuals, this is a rare
and iconic convertible that is a looking fresh and mean. It's a
terrific total package, so don't miss you chance at it. Call
