1971 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu For SaleThis 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle
Malibu Sport Coupe was acquired in 2023 and has since undergone a
comprehensive, documented restoration completed between February
2024 and November 2025, said to show roughly 195 miles since the
build's completion. The dashboard and door cards are original to
the car, while nearly everything mechanical beneath them engine,
transmission, suspension, and rear end has been rebuilt or replaced
with new components, with receipts on hand for the major work.Power
comes from a blueprinted 383 long block, purchased and installed in
March 2024, fitted with Blueprint aluminum cylinder heads and
billet aluminum pulleys. Fuel and air are handled by an Edelbrock
Performer intake topped with a Thunder Series AVS2 carburetor rated
at 800 CFM, backed by an Edelbrock Performer series mechanical fuel
pump, with an MSD Street Fire HEI distributor providing spark.
Long-tube headers feed into a ceramic-coated Flowmaster Super 44
Delta Series exhaust, and cooling is handled by a three-row
aluminum radiator. Behind the engine is a TH350 automatic
transmission, installed in October 2025 with a 10-inch racing
torque converter and a B&M Quicksilver shifter. Power
reaches the ground through a GM 8.2-inch 10-bolt rear end fitted
with a 28-spline Yukon Dura Grip posi-traction unit and 4.10 Yukon
ring-and-pinion gears.Braking is handled by front discs and rear
drums, backed by a Delco power brake booster and a Corvette-style
cast-iron master cylinder. The car rides on American Racing Vintage
Torq Thrust wheels, 15x8 in a satin black finish, wrapped in Cooper
Cobra GT tires 225/60R15 up front and 235/60R15 out back. Inside,
the original dash and door cards carry over from the factory, now
paired with new ProCar 90 Series bucket seats and a matching rear
bench, both fitted to new seat frames installed in January.1971 was
the last model year before Chevelle's platform redesign for 1973,
and clean second-generation Malibu coupes like this one have become
a popular starting point for driver-focused restomod builds. This
one pairs its factory sheet metal and largely original interior
with a fully rebuilt drivetrain, braking, and rear-end package, and
with 4.10 gears backing the 383, it's set up for real street
performance rather than just show.NFI Empire specializes in
