This 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu sport coupe is believed to have been on long-term display at a Chevrolet dealer before being fitted with a GM Performance Parts 502ci V8 circa 2005. The car was repainted in red with black stripes before the seller’s acquisition in 2020, and subsequent work consisted of overhauling the four-speed manual transmission and installing a Holley Sniper EFI setup. Further equipment includes a 12-bolt PosiTraction rear end, a cowl induction hood, exhaust headers, 15″ SS-style wheels, power-assisted front disc brakes, black vinyl upholstery, air conditioning, a CD changer, and front bucket seats. This Chevelle Malibu sport coupe is now offered with transferable New York registration in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in red with black rally stripes, and it is believed to have been repainted many years ago. Exterior elements include a cowl induction hood, a split black grille, driver’s sport side mirror, locking hood pins, and chrome bumpers and wheel arch moldings.
The 15″ SS-style wheels are mounted with Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/T white-letter tires. A full-size spare with a Goodyear Polyglas tire is stowed in the trunk. The car is equipped with power steering, and braking is handled by power-assisted front discs and rear drums.
The front bucket seats have headrests and are upholstered in black vinyl. A Hurst shifter is found in the center console, and air conditioning and a CD changer are also noted.
The two-spoke steering wheel frames a circular 120-mph speedometer, tachometer, and an analog clock in addition to readouts for amperage, fuel level, and coolant temperature. An oil pressure gauge is installed below the dashboard. The five-digit odometer shows 43k miles, approximately 500 of which were added under current ownership.
The GM Performance Parts 502ci was installed in 2005 and has been fitted with a Holley Sniper EFI system.
The seller tells us the four-speed manual transmission was overhauled in 2026, and the 12-bolt rear end has a PosiTraction differential. Long-tube headers are linked with a dual exhaust system. Corrosion is noted on underbody surfaces.
The car is being sold on its transferable New York registration, which serves as an ownership document in the state.
