For Sale: 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle in Lithia Springs, Georgia

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. So you get iconic lines, rarity, and plenty of shining style in this classic V8 droptop.

Code 75 Cranberry Red is the car's original color, but when the sunlight hits this convertible, you instantly can tell it has the extra luster of a respray later in life. It's great to see someone invest in quality because we all love it when a sunshine-friendly drop-top looks great in the sunshine. This one did not get the SS treatment added over the decades, and instead, it wears its premium Malibu personality with pride. It's this upper-class personality that lets you enjoy the straight sheet metal with gentle curves, well-defined creases, and a flowing hood. A car this solid also retains all the right brightwork pieces - from the form-fitting bumpers to the delicate wheel arch trim. And the larger 18-inch American Racing Torq Thrust wheels add to this cruiser's individuality.

Black always looks great against red, and so you'll be happy to see that the black roof powers down to reveal a full black interior. The door panels, dash, and upholstery all have a deep/dark color of quality, and so you'll happily share this interior with the world. In fact, with two wide rows of bench seats, you can also happily share the cruising experience with plenty of family and friends. This one really likes to show off its vintage style, right down to details like the correct trunk mat, the Delco AM radio as a display, and courtesy lights that greet you when the door opens.

When you lift the hood, the dark and tidy presentation makes this a motor you'll love to show off. The 350 cubic-inch V8 looks great in the engine bay with the full Edelbrock suite that includes the ribbed valve covers, matching air grabber, upgraded intake, and four-barrel carburetor. The V8 fires up eagerly as headers add power and a sweet tune to the H-pipe dual exhaust. Out on the road, the power steering, three-speed automatic transmission, power brakes, front discs, and the modern grip of ZR-rated performance tires all come together to give you an easy, anytime cruising feeling.

This Malibu convertible is a real treat, and so it's great to see it come with terrific paperwork, like the factory buildsheet, dealer invoice, warranty card, title documentation, maintenance records, and build receipts. It's a terrific total package, so don't miss your chance at it. Call today!!!
