1981 CA MALIBU, FROM NEAR MALIBU BEACH, CA WHERE MALIBU'S ARE NAMED AFTER. LAST 2DR YEAR, BECOMING QUITE DESIRED AND THE FAVORITE OF COLLECTORS FOR THIS STYLE. THE ONLY YEAR WITH A CHROME GRILL. VELOUR BUCKET SEATS (SS) WITH CONSOLE, VERY RARE, HAD TO BE SPECIAL ORDERED AS ALL 2DR'S WERE BEING PHASED OUT. UNLIKE A BENCH SEAT CAR, THE PASSENGER BUCKET SEAT OF THIS BOLTS FURTHER UP TO MAKE EASIER ACCESS OF GETTING IN THE BACK - THE EASIEST WAY TO KNOW IF A TRUE (SS) SINCE EMBLEMS OF WERE NOT ALLOWED BECAUSE CHEVY WAS PUSHING THEIR MORE PROFITABLE CAMARO DESIGN. 73K ACTUAL MILES, RUNS & DRIVES GOOD. HAS TILT, WORKING CRUISE, PS, PB, AM-FM, AC THOUGH NEEDS WORK AS WELL AS BLOWER MOTOR, ALL ORIGINAL FACTORY TINTED GLASS. V8 ENGINE #S IN THE CAR SHOW IT TO BE EITHER '81 4BL 350 OR ROLLER CAMMED '79 267. IT'S CLEAR TO SEE IT HAD BEEN A 4BL INTAKE FROM A LITTLE SILICONE SHOWING AT FRONT OF INTAKE BUT REPLACED WITH 2BL INTAKE & CARB SO INCLUDED WITH CAR IS A HI PERFORMANCE CHEVY 4BL INTAKE. NOW TAKE YOUR CHOICE WHICH TO SAY WHEN ASKED, THE BRAGGING RIGHTS OF AN '81 350, SAME YEAR AS CAR, OR MAYBE A '79 267 BECAUSE OF THE 22 MPG, ALTHOUGH IT RUNS SLOW ENOUGH WITH IT'S 2.41 GEARS TO BE A 350? NEVER RACED, AND ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND THAT'S NOT BEEN. THESE LAST STYLE CHEVELLES MAKE EXTREMELY GOOD DRAG & CIRCLE TRACK RACE CARS WITH THEIR VERY COVETED & NOTORIOUS FACT OF BEING THE LIGHTEST FULL FRAME CAR EVER MADE WITH A BACK SEAT! COULD USE SOME MINOR IMPROVEMENTS INCL. DASH PAD, WINDSHIELD AS HAS SMALL DISCONTINUING CRACK IN CORNER, ETC. NO FRAME, FENDER OR FLOOR RUST ALTHOUGH WEAK ON THE UNDERNEATH OF A DOOR. NEARLY NEW, $2000. 17" AMERICAN RACING MAGS WITH HI PERFORMANCE TIRES ON CAR FREE TO MUCH MORE THAN COVER ANYTHING THOUGHT NEEDED. WITH ONLY 108" WB, INSTEAD OF ALL THE EARLIER STYLE'S 112", THIS IS A MUCH NICER, LIGHTER, SPORTIER LOOKING SIZE CAR! IT'S VERY STRAIGHT WITH 1 REPAINT ABOUT 6 YRS AGO. MAYBE DO A LITTLE TOUCH UP & WAX IT. HAS NEW OR NEWER PARTS INCL. BRAKES, STARTER, ALTERNATER, CARPET, ALUMINIZED EXHAUST, HEAVIER DUTY REAR SPRINGS TO SUPPORT HEIGHTH & PULLING WITH INCL. HITCH WITHOUT NEED OF AIR SHOCKS. GETS LOTS OF ATTENTION & THUMBS UP WITH IT'S VERY APPEALING COLOR, STANCE & ATTRACTIVENESS! SORRY, THE PICS AREN'T SO GOOD BUT CAN'T RETAKE AT THIS TIME. THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST BUY ON A MALIBU YOU COULD EVER OWN!!! AM RECENTLY DISABLED - ONLY $7,995. SW IA 712-313-0250. SORRY, NO TRADES, MAY END EARLY & THANKS FOR YOUR INTEREST! HAPPY CRUISING AND ALWAYS TAKE JESUS WITH YOU!

I WASN'T REFERRING TO 4 DRS WHICH ALL 82-83 ARE.On Oct-16-18 at 02:41:33 PDT, seller added the following information: BEGINNING IN LATE 1961, CHEVY INTRODUCED THEIR NEW SS (SUPER SPORT) LINE, DESIGNATING TO BE EQUIPPED WITH BUCKET SEATS IF A 2 DR AND WOULD OF OTHERWISE BEEN A BENCH SEAT. ALTHOUGH I'VE HAD SS'S IN ALL CLASSIC CHEVY MODELS INCL. IMPALLA, MONTE CARLO, CHEVELLE, CAMARO & NOVA, THIS '81 MALIBU, THE ONLY ONE I'VE HAD OF THIS STYLE AND THE LAST STYLE AND YEAR OF 2 DR CHEVELLES, IT'S THE ONLY 1 THAT'S HAD THE PASSENGAR BUCKET SEAT FURTHER FORWARD, ALLOWING EASIER ACCESS TO THE REAR SEAT. VERY FEW OF THESE LAST STYLE MALIBU'S HAD BUCKET SEATS, ALTHOUGH OFTEN THEY'VE BEEN ADDED, SO THE EASIEST WAY TO KNOW IF IT'S A TRUE SS, BUT FOR THIS LAST STYLE ONLY, IS TO MOVE BOTH SEATS ALL THE WAY FORWARD AND SEE IF THE PASSENGER SEAT GOES FURTHER FORWARD. THE BUCKET SEATS IN THIS MALIBU HAVE BEEN CHANGED TO THE MORE COMFORTABLE MONTE CARLO SEATS.
