When auto enthusiasts discuss muscle cars, it’s a fairly safe bet that two General Motors cars will be mentioned—the Pontiac GTO and the Chevrolet Chevelle SS. Both cars were built on the GM A-body platform and while the GTO is often credited with starting the muscle car era, the Chevelle deserves credit for being arguably the most popular muscle car.
From the 1964 through 1972 model years, the Chevelle was available in a variety of configurations ranging from meek four-door sedans with six-cylinder engines to sporty two-door convertibles with the largest powerplant offered by Chevrolet between the frame rails and everything in between. At the top of that list was the big block Super Sport convertible.
This 1971 Chevelle Super Sport convertible is a prime example of a highly-sought after muscle car. The Sunflower Yellow paint is contrasted by a black vinyl bucket seat interior and powered black convertible top. Power comes from a non-matching number but date-code correct 402 cubic inch big block engine rated at 300 horsepower backed by a four-speed transmission. Factory options include power steering, power brakes and air conditioning, with A/C being a rare option for convertibles of this period. A full complement of factory gauges monitor the engine and electrical systems.
The car was acquired by the present owner in October 2011 and was restored at some time prior to his purchase. Since that time the car has been driven recreationally and regularly participates in local parades. During his ownership the car has been stored in a humidity-controlled environment. Documents obtained at purchase indicate previous ownership in Arkansas and Georgia. According to statutes governing the operation of licensed motor vehicle dealers in the state of Missouri, this car is sold mileage exempt due to age.

NOTICE
Because of the number of vehicles we represent we cannot drive every vehicle for long distances. These vehicles have been part of static displays for long periods of time, in some cases for decades, and are subject to the flaws and imperfections consistent with that. While we do our best to disclose all issues we known about a vehicle in our advertising, these are old cars and something that has always worked in the past might not function properly today. Please check the requirements of your state regarding the licensing and registration of classic vehicles and make sure the vehicle you are looking at meets those if applicable. Unless otherwise noted, all vehicles represented by Evergreen Digital Showroom possess a clean (non-branded) title which will be provided the new buyer when purchase funds clear our financial institution. Virtually all our vehicles are sold as mileage exempt due to their age. We do not warranty any vehicle, nor any part of the vehicle including air conditioning systems, brake systems, electrical systems and gauges, fuel systems, accessories or powertrain components.
These are old vehicles and it is very common for them to require certain maintenance and upkeep for them to be operational. In many cases issues with leaks may develop when being driven after a long period of not being used. This is common, as classic cars at some point will leak fluids. For this reason, we do not encourage buyers to attempt driving their purchase home as we cannot guarantee functional reliability of these vehicles. We strongly encourage prospective buyers to be sure they are comfortable with these issues before purchasing a classic car.
Descriptions of vehicles represented by Evergreen Digital Showroom are intended to be informational in nature and do not in any way constitute any sort of warranty, expressed or implied. Again, these vehicles are presented “as-is, where-is” without guarantee or warranty. Vehicles manufactured prior to 1981 will likely not be included in the databases of companies such as CarFax and AutoCheck that provide vehicle history information to consumers. If you have specific questions regarding a vehicle we urge you to contact us at 417-532-8000.
