Vehicle Description
The Chevrolet Chevelle is a nameplate that needs no introduction, a
name that is always associated with the golden era of American
muscle. Taking a single look at this intimidating 1971 Chevrolet
Chevelle Malibu SS makes it crystal-clear as to why that is, with
its sleek profile, bold grille, and muscular contours. Dressed in
an attractive black-over-white paint scheme, this Chevelle doesn't
just look frightening, it's got the power to back it up because
when the terms "big-block" and "Chevelle" are combined, good times
are almost guaranteed to be had. Powered by a massive new 454 C.I.
V8 breathing through a 4-barrel carburetor, this Chevelle is ready
to melt its rear tires at a moment's notice. Adding to this
Chevelle's appeal is an upgraded new TH400 3-speed automatic
transmission, which shifts smoothly and seamlessly and is
accompanied by a trademark Chevrolet horseshoe shifter. The
exterior's laser-straight, flowing bodylines are covered in a
gorgeous gloss black paintjob, which reflects like a mirror in the
sun after being buffed to a brilliant shine. That paint is
complimented by a fantastic black vinyl top and a pair of stunning
white rally stripes, running the length of this Chevelle's cowl
hood and rear deck. In addition, the floors, frame, trunk and jambs
on this Chevelle are rock-solid and all are in great shape.
According to the previous owner, this Chevelle comes with plenty of
items that are all relatively new and refreshed for this car! Some
of these items include cosmetic pieces such as all-new glass,
interior, front bezels and moldings, weather-strips, dashboard,
vinyl top, and window felts. Some of those new updates are more
functional, such as the new retro-sound radio, gas tank, 3" dual
exhausts, wiring harness, wiper blades, bumpers, battery, starter
motor, 12-Bolt Posi rear axle with 3.23 gearing, aluminum radiator,
and MSD ignition. That's a lot of new equipment! Opening the twin
doors and stepping inside welcomes you to a pristine black vinyl
interior, complete with very nice textured bucket seats and a
correct full center console. The car rides on a striking set of 18"
5-spoke Riddler wheels over blackwall tires for a low-slung,
athletic stance that's sure to turn heads. Rest assured, as mean as
this Chevelle sounds, it runs and drives even better and even
meaner than it looks. If you're looking to draw a crowd anywhere
you park, then this ominous '71 Chevelle Malibu may be just what
you've been waiting for.
