1971 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu 400 1 of 548 built
This 1971 Chevelle is a rare Malibu 400 model. It was built the second week of March and is only 1 of 548 built.
The Chevelle came from the factory with a 402cuin Big Block, but in the fall of 1971 it was replaced with a direct replacement "CE" 402 block (CE155787- see below for information) under factory warranty at the Chevrolet Dealership. Only the block was replaced, all other items were reinstalled and are original to the car which include the heads, intake, carburetor, oil pan, water pump and distributor.
These are some other items that are original factory options and still equipped on the car:
Muncie Heavy Duty 3 Speed Manual Transmission (vin number stamped on housing), 12 bolt 3:31 Posi Rear End, F41 Suspension, Front & Rear Sway Bars, Entire Black Interior including Bench Seat Type including Lap and Shoulder Safety Belts, AM Radio with front and rear speakers, Sport Steering Wheel, Deluxe Astro Ventilation with upper and floor controls, Chrome Wheel Well Trim, Chrome Rocker Molding, and the Original Spare Tire and Bumper Jack.
All of the electronics, lights and accessories work perfectly, except the gas gauge hasn't worked since I have owned the car (2006). The Key Buzzer even comes on when the door is open and the key is in the ignition.
The car drives well and needs nothing to be enjoyed and shared with others at car shows.
The car sits on Cragar SS Rims - 15x8 with 215/60/15 BFG RWL on the front and 15x10 with 255/60/15 BFG RWL on the rear.
The exterior is a 10-footer with is original sheet metal. The paint job was done by the previous owner (early 80's) Cranberry Red matching the original Factory Color and cowl tag code 75. The previous owner also told me he only had to do a little body work hence the reason it only needed a frame-on restoration. And at that time he also added a mild cam, ceramic coated headers, MT valve covers, dual exhaust and an air cleaner.
It fires right up, runs, drives, and stops great! The engine growls, the transmission shifts smoothly, the brakes are strong and it moves very well. Structurally, the car is in great shape. The frame is rock solid. The floor pans are actually very good and the trunk is literally perfect.
