This 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu sport coupe was refurbished under previous ownership and is powered by a 454ci V8 fitted with a Holley aluminum intake manifold and four-into-one headers. Shifting is through a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission linked with a 12-bolt rear axle and a Positraction differential, and the car is finished in blue with black stripes over black vinyl upholstery. Further equipment includes a cowl-induction hood, front disc brakes, and 15″ Super Sport wheels along with front bucket seats, a center console, and a horseshoe-style shifter. Acquired by the seller in 2023, this Chevelle sport coupe is now offered in Turlock, California, with a clean California title in the seller’s name.
The body left the factory finished in Ascot Blue (24) and was repainted as part of the aforementioned refurbishment completed under previous ownership. The car wears black over-the-top stripes and features a cowl-induction hood secured by pins. Further details include a black grille, hideaway windshield wipers, and chrome side mirrors and bumpers.
The 15″ Super Sport wheels wear chrome trim rings and are mounted with 235/60 front and 245/60 rear BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. Braking is handled by power-assisted front discs and rear drums. The seller notes that the power steering system is weak.
The front bucket and rear bench seats are upholstered in black vinyl, and are complemented by color-coordinated door panels with SS badging. Further interior appointments include a center console, a heater, and seatbelts for four occupants. The Delco AM radio is not working and the factory air conditioning compressor and hoses are missing.
An SS-branded two-spoke steering wheel is paired with a horseshoe-style shifter. Instrumentation consists of a tachometer with a 5,500-rpm redline accompanied by a 120-mph speedometer, an analog clock, and readouts for amperage, fuel level, and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 7k miles, less than 100 of which have been added under current ownership. True mileage is unknown.
The 454ci V8 is equipped with a Holley aluminum intake manifold, a Holley-Slayer four-barrel carburetor, Moroso-branded chrome valve covers, Pertonix electronic points, and four-into-one headers. The seller states the fuel tank was replaced under previous ownership, and further notes that the battery has been replaced.
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission and a 12-bolt rear axle equipped with a Positraction limited-slip differential.
