During the Golden Age of muscle cars, there were so many options to
choose from that you really couldn't go wrong with almost any of
the Big Three's offerings. One of those high-powered choices was a
car like this 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 Tribute. From the
outset, its fully repainted black body, complemented by a set of
full-length white-painted SS stripes and a pinned cowl-induction
hood, showcases the Chevelle's aggressive lines from any angle.
Inside, we find a clean, black-vinyl SS-style interior. A center
console separates dual bucket seats, while a power-assisted,
four-spoke, power-assisted steering wheel sits just ahead of a
seven-pod gauge cluster, highlighted by a 120-mph speedometer. An
AM radio and sliding HVAC controls keep things simple, while a
staple-style shifter doubles as a grab-bar whenever it's
go-time.
Under the hood, we find a clean engine bay with a 454-cubic-inch
V-8 engine on display in all its glory. This primer orange big
block sports a single four-barrel Holley carburetor, while spent
gases are expelled through a set of long headers, true-dual
exhaust, and sweet-sounding FlowMaster mufflers that dump before
the rear axle. That power is routed through a three-speed automatic
transmission before being sent to a twelve-bolt rear end, which
transfers those ponies to the pavement via a set of 15-inch wheels
with Chevrolet center caps, shod in modern 225/70R-15 Cooper Cobra
Radial T/A tires.
