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.
