This particular 1971 Chevy Chevelle SS Tribute Restomod shows us a
clean exciting example of that sentiment, literally in black and
white (and maybe a little red). Its clean white repaint, accented
by a sleek black racing stripe, is only challenged for attention by
this Chevelle's red-rimmed 22-inch blackout Forgiato wheels. Setup
in true muscle car staggered widths, the narrower front tires
measure 245/30ZR-22 while the larger 285/25ZR-22 meats stand at
attention out back. Hiding behind those massively captivating rims
are a set of front and rear power disc brakes to help reign in that
muscle if it starts getting a little too overzealous pulling up
next to a newer WS6. But if the road starts to twist and turn, this
Chevelle has a tubular upper control arm setup in front and boxed
trailing arms out back, along with an added rear sway bar for added
road handling capability.
Under the hood of this classic Chevelle is a tried-and-true
5.7-liter small-block Chevy 350. While not the original motor, the
CKU code does tell us it is from 1973. It also has Sniper
electronic fuel injection that helps get power through the block,
out of a set of long tube headers, and ultimately out Thrush
mufflers. Connected to that engine is a column-shifted three-speed
TH350 automatic transmission that sends power out to the 12-bolt
rear and onto the pavement.
Inside, the almost stock-looking interior looks as clean as any
50-plus-year-old car possible could, with a sea of black vinyl and
carpeting to keep the focus where it belongs: on the gauges and the
road. The red-rimmed steering wheel is a nice nod to the matching
wheels, indicating a thoughtful rebuild. The subtle digital gauges
inlaid into the SS dash are a welcomed surprise in an otherwise
factory-looking interior.

With barely any miles on it since its rebuild, this 1971 Chevrolet
Chevelle SS Tribute Restomod is ready to roar back to life and
spend some time, albeit at car shows or traffic lights, reminding
everyone not to forget one of the baddest muscle cars that has ever
roamed the earth.
