America's most popular mid-size car? �€" 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle
magazine advertisement The advertising copywriters wasted no time
answering their own question: Very carefully. Offered here is a
medium-blue-metallic (with white vinyl top and twin, white hood and
rear-deck stripes) over two-tone blue 1971 Chevelle hardtop in very
well-maintained, respectfully upgraded condition. The car's
odometer shows 116,341 miles, a very conservative. fewer than 2,350
miles per-year on average. The blue-metallic paint is in excellent
condition across the entire car, including door jambs, and trunk
lid. The white racing stripes are flawless and especially appealing
over the functional, cowl-induction hood. (To best assess the
quality of the paint and chrome finish, be sure to view the
close-up photographs of the car in the accompanying gallery.) The
car's sheet metal is free of dents, scrapes, or other damage.
Panel-alignment is straight with above-period-standard fit. The
white vinyl top shows no wear or other damage. All chrome-front
bumper (with single-headlight surrounds), and rear bumper (with
taillights incorporated), grille (with mall trim missing) hood
locks, window and lower-body-side trim, door handles, and
wheel-well trim-is in very-good-to-excellent condition, with light
patina on some surfaces such as the door handles. Cabin glass and
lighting lenses are free of cracks. Badging, with the exception of
the cowl-induction hood emblem, has been removed (shaved). Chrome
dual-exhaust tips add a hint of performance, and the slightly
raised rear suspension gives the Chevelle a purposeful stance.
Keystone® chrome 5-spoke, 14-inch wheels are mounted with
Firestone® Firehawk raised-white-letter tires. The blue color theme
continues in the nearly-all-stock interior. The front-row
split-bench seat and the rear bench seat are upholstered in blue
vinyl with vertically pleated velour-fabric center panels. Similar
materials are used on the door panels (with light puckering noted).
Blue carpeting covers the floors (there is some light discoloration
in front). Roll-up windows are stock. The blue padded dash is
undamaged but shows light sun-fading. The original Chevrolet-script
steering wheel with leather-wrapped rim fronts a horizontal
speedometer with warning lights arrayed below. The shift lever for
the automatic transmission is steering-column-mounted. To the right
are slide-lever controls for the heating and ventilation, above a
stock-appearing push-button AM radio. An aftermarket oil-pressure
gauge is mounted below the dash next to an aftermarket FM radio.
Under the hood, the stock, 350-cubic-inch Chevrolet V8 occupies a
clean and well-ordered engine bay. Braided-steel heater hoses,
Edelbrock®-branded, finned valve covers, and an Edelbrock®-embossed
chrome air-cleaner cover add flair. All hoses and wiring appear
correctly routed. Viewed from below, the chassis is straight,
complete and undamaged. There is expected light surface rust on
untreated metal surfaces. The performance headers and full-length
dual-exhaust system, as well as the view of the correctly
Chevrolet-orange-painted engine block and oil pan are focal points.
The car's original identification and data tags remain properly
mounted. While the more than 145 high-definition photographs and
the short walk-around-and-startup video available on the
GarageKeptMotors website showcase this '71 Chevelle in detail from
every angle, including from below, we expect and encourage
in-person inspections at our Grand
