Vehicle Description
A 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 tribute is already a darn
attractive car in its black-on-black appearance. But you'll find it
irresistible when you dig deeper and find out this affordable one
is also turn-key ready with plenty of performance goodies on the
big block and the control of a four-speed stick-shift.
We always love the look of a modern clearcoat black on a
well-prepared muscle car like this. 1971 is arguably one of the
best years for Chevelles with the single headlight setup, and its
long, streamlined rear deck. It looks particularly nice on this
example because the wide form-fitting bumpers have a mirror-like
shine that can attract people from across a show field. Someone
spent a lot of time and money getting the big picture right to
create the aggressive package and this car looks downright
menacing. The expensive details are correct like the power bulge
cowl induction-style hood, 15-inch Rally wheels, and expertly
applied dual white SS stripes that are part of the clearcoat finish
- that way the light rolls evenly between the dark black and the
bright stripes.
The exterior's sporting attitude was built into the interior, too.
It comes complete with black bucket seats, dark carpets, and slick
door panels with a trim line that runs the entire length of the
interior. Your left hand will love the wood rimmed three-spoke
steering wheel, and your right one rests comfortably on the Hurst
shifter. Intermediate-sized Chevelles in 1971 were certainly large
enough to carry plenty of family and friends, and so you have a
nice upgrade to a Audiosound digital AM/FM tuner with an aux input
for modern music players. But as the driver, we know your favorite
soundtrack comes every time you twist the key and hear the big
block roar.
One look under the hood, and you know a performance driver was in
charge of this build. Sure, it has a very tidy setup, and the air
grabber and valve covers have a terrific shine. But beyond the
style is some true substance. The 454 is already a legendary
powerhouse for these coupes, and this one has been upgraded with
go-fast goodies like an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock
Performer 2.0 intake, and long tube headers. So you know this
Chevelle gives off a ferocious growl from the H-pipe dual exhaust.
Best of all, you have complete control over this monster V8 and its
thunderous soundtrack thanks to the four-speed manual transmission.
Add in thick sway bars (front & rear), power steering, and front
disc brakes, and you soon realize it's quite easy to tame this
beastly big block Chevelle.
A beautiful turn-key muscle machine that has all the right features
and plenty of power. When such a desirable classic is this ready to
hit the streets, you know it's going to be leaving us quickly. Call
