This 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle is for sale in our Louisville KY
showroom. The 1971 Chevelle was GM's 4th year using the rounded
body design with only minor changes from the previous year. As with
all the other manufactures the cost of fuel combined with the high
insurance premiums took its toll on performance with even the
highest rated LS5 only putting out a mere 365HP. The HP wars were
over but GM's classic 3rd generation Chevelle is still considered
to be one of the best-looking cars to leave Detroit. This 71
Chevelle has taken those looks and added some custom touches making
it into the car you see today. The paint is a deep Candy Red with a
dark and deeper burgundy SS style stripe paying homage to the
original SS paint scheme. With the chrome bumpers and trim polished
to high luster this car is guaranteed to turn heads. The lower
stance adds to that aggressive look while the 18" wheels in the
front and 20" wheels in the back make it appear even lower. The
4-wheel disc brake are easily seen through the Boyd rims which not
only look good but add to the performance side of things. Under the
hood is probably the most recognizable big block made. The 454
engine sounds great with its mild cam giving it a throaty sound at
idle. Hit the gas and this red rocket squats down and goes. The
TH350 trans shifts out nicely with the 1st to 2nd shift being firm
but not too the point where it will break your neck. A peek inside
reveals a custom interior that is laid out nicely. The tan with red
snake skin accents goes well with the exterior scheme. A set of
bucket seats with a console separating them is a nice touch. The
one off stereo system has speakers molded into the side of that
console as well as the rear deck. The custom interior has been
continued inside the trunk as well with the amp recessed into the
floor and 71 embroidered into the sides finishing off the custom
look. If you have been looking for a Chevelle that has a one-off
look while retaining those great body lines this 71 is the perfect
fit. Options on this 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle include; AM/FM/CD,
Power Steering Power Brakes, Power Sunroof, Leather interior, Seat
Belts, and Aluminum Wheels with Radial Tires. To view this 1971
