This 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Convertible is a strong running muscle car with fantastic options! 1971 marked the beginning to the end of the muscle car era, ironically with John Z. Delorean, one of the granddaddys of the muscle car, at the helm of Chevrolet. Of course, the genesis of the muscle car originated from when Delorean (while at sister GM marque Pontiac) put a full-size powerplant into an intermediate-sized car. In 1971, Chevrolet's mid-size division consisted of the Chevelle which was divided into four sub-series, the base-model Chevelle, the fancier Chevelle Malibu, and two station wagons. Styling changes to the '71 Chevelles were fairly modest. Up front, Chevrolet reverted back to a single headlight design surrounded by a square bezel and a new imposing twin-level grille. In the rear, the dual taillights were more recessed into the back bumpers as well. The interiors also featured modest updates that were a bit more plush than the previous year. Powering this '71 Chevelle is a 350 V8 engine fed by a Single 4 Barrel Carburetor mounted atop an Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold. It's backed by an automatic transmission and exhaust exits through a set of headers and dual exhaust setup. It has some nice options, like a positraction rear differential, power steering and power front disc brakes. The white vinyl power convertible top is in wonderful condition and it goes up and down with the simple flick of a switch housed in the dash. Riding on a set of BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires mounted on a set of Keystone Klassic wheels, this 1971 Chevelle Convertible has a great period look and even better ride. The exterior of this Malibu has been correctly refinished in beautiful Cranberry Red paint along with white SS-style hood and decklid stripes. The interior of this 1971 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible is gorgeous! The front bucket seats and rear bench seat have been reupholstered in Ivory vinyl so that you can stay cool while cruising on a hot summer day. The ivory vinyl upholstered door panels, black carpeting, black padded woodgrain dash, center console with horseshoe-style shifter, and steering wheel are all in fantastic shape and appear to be in their stock configuration. The instrument cluster is equipped with a 120 MPH speedometer, 7,000 RPM tachometer with a 5,000 RPM redline, amp gauge, temperature gauge, and fuel gauge, along with a clock. The woodgrain trimmed dash is completed with controls for the heater, headlights, windshield washer and power convertible top controls, along with a cigar lighter and upgraded retro-style AM/FM/Cassette entertainment system. Whether you're adding to an existing Chevy muscle car collection or you're buying your very first classic car, this 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Convertible would make an excellent addition.
