Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is excited to offer this 1971
Chevrolet Chevelle for sale. This bad boy is a real sleeper, too -
a classic American muscle car that combines vintage aesthetics with
modern performance. This beauty is dressed in a striking Marina
Blue exterior, complemented by a matching blue interior (recently
installed by Westside Upholstery using new synthetic leather
seating and AAC OEM-style carpet), creating a cohesive and
eye-catching look. Under the hood, you'll find a Don Hardy Racing
418 CID LS3 V8 engine, equipped with dual quad Holley Sniper EFI
fuel injection for superior performance and efficiency. The engine
also features coated headers and relocated coil packs for improved
performance and underhood aesthetics. A serpentine belt accessory
drive ensures smooth operation, while the heavy-duty Stage II 4L80E
4-Speed automatic transmission, built by Century Automotive and
Transmission, guarantees seamless gear changes. This powerhouse is
further enhanced by a 258mm Pro-Billet Stage II Torque Converter
for optimal torque delivery. A massive Proformance aluminum
radiator (with twin Spal 16" electric fans) keeps the powerplant
properly cooled. Out back, a GM 12-bolt rear end with 3.73:1 gears
and an Eaton Posi unit ensures that you'll get all of that power to
the ground via the Mickey Thompson E/T Street drag radials. There
are even hidden windshield washer-type water nozzles poking out of
the frame ahead of the rear tires for when you want to engage in a
little water-aided burnout fun, and opening up the QTP electric
exhaust cutouts when you do that ensures that everyone nearby will
get an earful of all of that power! The 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle is
not just about performance, it also offers a comfortable and
enjoyable ride. The Vintage Air air conditioning system (which has
never been charged) will ensure a cool and comfortable cabin (once
you charge it with R134a), even on the hottest days. The car rides
on chromed steel GM Rallye-style wheels, adding a touch of classic
elegance to its robust profile. For your entertainment, the car is
equipped with an AM/FM/CD head unit. The automatic convertible top
allows you to enjoy the open air at the touch of a button. Safety
is also a priority, with 4-wheel Wilwood power disc brakes
featuring multipiston calipers (6-piston front, 4-piston rear) and
slotted/drilled rotors, along with a high-pressure CPP master
cylinder for immense stopping power. The suspension is a full
Ridetech setup, with their Street Grip setup in front (including a
beefy swaybar), and a full adjustable coilover setup (with swaybar)
out back. The car also features power steering for effortless
maneuverability, radial tires for superior road grip, and seatbelts
for added safety. Inside, the blue vinyl interior adds a touch of
retro charm, creating a comfortable and stylish environment for
both the driver and passengers. In summary, this 1971 Chevrolet
Chevelle is a remarkable blend of classic style and modern
performance - a true wolf in sheep's clothing. This is a car that
commands attention and delivers an unforgettable driving
experience, so contact our Houston Showroom today!
