Up for sale is this 1971 Malibu Convertible. I purchased this car in 1997 and have enjoyed it over the past 16 years as a great driver for trips to the beach and
car shows. The car was in good driver condition when I purchased it with a fresh engine and transmission. Over the years the car has received several improvements
such as a new paint job in base coat clear coat and during that time the floor boards were inspected and a new passenger side front was replaced with Goodmark
sheetmetal. The rest of the floorboards appear to be factory and in good shape. I also added new dual exhaust with flowmaster two chamber mufflers,
all new front suspension and conversion to disc brakes, new cloth top with glass rear window, CD player with amp, 12" sub woofer, CD changer,
and four speakers, new chrome bumpers and trim, MSD ignition with HEI distributor, Edelbrock performer manifold and 4bbl carb. Recent improvements include new A/C compressor, receiver/dryer and thermal expansion valve and system was converted to R134. Blows cold and nice. I also changed the wheels to Torque Thrust D's 15 x 7's with brand new BF Goodrich Radial T/A's size P255/60R15 for the rear and P245/60R15 for the front. The tires are new and have less than 200 miles on them. Battery is new as is the Master cyl.

Car is in excellent mechanical condition. All gauges, lights, turn signals, idiot lights, horn, wipers, A/C, Power brakes, charging system, P/S, work excellent. Only thing that doesn't
work is the dash clock. The car starts and runs smooth, the choke works exactly as it should. Trans shifts firmly with no lag at all. Steering and handling characteristics are
fine. The brakes are excellent and in fairly new condition. The disc brakes are a huge improvement over the drums and the car stops straight.

The paint and body are in good driver quality condition. The paint was done in 2002 and the car has been stored inside for most of the time since then, though it has
spent some years outside. Some chips are there, there is a half dollar sized bubble in front of the drivers side rear wheel and a very small rust spot at the trailing
edge of the drivers quarter. Hood has a medium sized chip with delamentation of the clear coat. Passenger side door jamb has some cracked and missing paint in a small
area.

All in all the body and paint are very presentable and shows well. but please remember this is a 11 year old paint job that has seen some weather and highway use.
The interior appears to be the original and I haven't really done anything to it. There are no tears or rips in the upholstery, the carpet shows well, and there are
no cracks in the dash pad. Over all the interior is decent, simply appears a bit worn due to it's age. The convertible top is excellent. It raises and lowers with no issues
no leaks in the hydraulic system. The cloth top is very nice and looks good as does the rear glass window.

All of the pictures shown were taken either this past week or within the last year.
