This 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle has the sleekness, speedy style, and
enhanced V8 power to have some serious Super Sport-style fun. And
you'll also discover some nice details - like the overdrive
transmission and AC interior - that makes it an all-around good
cruising classic.
The slick coat of red paint has an awesome shine. You can tell it's
a professional application by the way the luster is even across the
whole body. They made sure to give it the best of everything that
makes this Chevelle a Super Sport tribute that emits a speedy style
from every angle. This includes the cowl hood, hood pins, correct
SS badges, and wide dual exhaust tips. Plus, the SS grille and
crisply painted racing stripes give this one a hint of blackout
appeal. More than just sporty style, there's attractive brightwork
where the chrome bumpers and trim complement the shine of the
paint. There's a quality here that goes down to the details, like
the clean drip rails and how the doors close with confidence. The
overall idea of this car is to have a sleek SS-style machine that
you'll enjoy driving. So it's show-worthy but also has been driven
responsibly. After all, the American Racing Torq Thrust wheels look
good with their added shine, but their real purpose is to use the
18/20-inch front/rear setup to add a sporty stance and grippy
modern performance tires.
We like it when the exterior stripes are a preview of what's
inside, and let's face it, a muscle car deserves an all-black
interior, too. It's quite clean and complete, right down to the
working dome light. This hardtop has been upgraded in all the best
ways. Some are subtle, like the newer front bucket, and the
overdrive setting in the center console shifter. Others are a bit
more obvious, like the Vintage Air air conditioning and the
upgraded Sony AM/FM/CD stereo with USB input and subwoofers in the
trunk. And you love the grip of the classic Chevy sports steering
wheel. It also gives you a clear view of the full AutoMeter Cobalt
gauges.
The dark inner walls of the engine bay funnel all your attention to
the shining components in the idle. So this has the clean look of a
well-built powerhouse. This is a later 350 cubic-inch V8 that we're
told was enlarged to a 383ci stroker. While that's unproven, it
does have the feeling of a strong motor. Of course, that would also
have to do with the added performance upgrades. It includes a
Holley four-barrel carburetor, a high-rise intake, and headers
feeding an H-pipe dual exhaust. There are also the right supporting
components, like an MSD digital 6 plus ignition system, an electric
fan, and a March serpentine belt system. The transmission has been
upgraded to a 700R4 four-speed unit. It's stout enough to handle
the enhanced power while also delivering overdrive comfort. So you
can see how this was built to be a good all-around driver. There
were even recent investments in the driveshaft, sway bar bushings,
and power steering pump. And the new tires are backed by a nice set
of power brakes with front discs.
This is the hardtop Chevelle that has the power to live up to its
SS style and the comfort to let you show it off everywhere. Call
