Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to list this stunning 1971
Chevrolet Chevelle Convertible. This car is turn key and fire right
up just ready to hit the streets. Nothing like the sound of a Chevy
V8 engine and in a convertible to really make you enjoy a summer
night cruise. The 1971 Chevelle was treated to new front-end and
rear-end styling that included large Power-Beam single-unit
headlights, a reworked grille and bumper, and integral
park/signal/marker lights. New dual round taillights were integral
with the back bumper. Because SS models suffered heavy insurance
surcharges, Chevrolet introduced the "Heavy Chevy" at midyear,
which was based on the base Chevelle, and was available with any V8
engine except the 454, which was exclusive to SS models. Chevrolet
specifications for 1971 included both "gross" and "net" horsepower
figures for all engines. The standard Chevelle SS engine was a
two-barrel 350-cubic-inch V8 rated at 245 gross (165 net)
horsepower. This stunning Chevelle does have a newer crate 350
small block that was installed about 20 miles ago and it runs
great. It is paired to a smooth shifting 3 speed automatic
transmission. The red paint on this car shines bright in the sun
and has been redone to be in great condition. The black vinyl
interior does not show its age due to it not having any rips or
tears. This car even has upgraded sound system to a more modern
stereo and speakers. The classic style is kept with the Cragar
wheels and white letter BF Goodrich tires, it does have another set
of rims that come with it as well. This car is set up with the R12
original A/C that still blows cool to this day. The power top makes
an aggressive look go to a sporty convertible and even more fun
drive in a matter of minutes. This car is perfect for any
collection and could even be used as a daily driver. Everyone
should enjoy dropping the top on a classic Chevelle and pushing the
throttle down to feel the rush of American muscle. To see 100+ HD
