1971 Chevelle Malibu

[Reeves Racing]

When I was a Juinor in high school I traded the El Vega off on this beauty. The color is the actual color of the original car. When we did a repaint of the car we painted the model at the same time. This build is over 23 years old.

Here is a picture of me at the strip with my old Chevelle back in the day.

I was working at a GM dealer at the time and that is a NOS SS hood I put on the car and then some 69 Camaro RS emblems and badging. My on own special RS Chevelle.

Nice build! You matched the color pretty well!

But I never was a fan of...beige.....

For your next build you might want to try this stuff to black out the grill work.....it works almost effortlessly! Ya just brush it on lightly and it sinks into the crevices and leaves the chrome ribbing!

And it's pretty inexpensive! $2.99 a bottle and $1.50 shipping! Works like a dream!

cool build! my first car was a '72 Malibu that i changed the front to '71. 16 flat you must have been running a 307 with a 2-barrel, my car had one too and i thought i had a musclecar

No it was a 350 with a quadra jet and 2bbl heads and WAY TOO MUCH cam (a CRANE blue print 350 horse 327 cam). It sounded good but was a real nag off the line. Oh and the 2.56 rearend didn't help much either ....

Looks great and i agree you need to clean up the grill. You have done a great job on your conversion..
