1971 Chevrolet Chevelle SS Description
Frame off rotisserie restored, only 3,700 miles since completed. Has all the upgrades you want- SS package, plenty of muscle, upgraded brakes, new air conditioning system and a gorgeous color.
EXTERIOR: They started with a really clean original body and gave it a fabulous color. Deep brandy wine metallic set off with gray metallic SS stripes. A deep clear coat is polished glossy. The paint even feels slick to the touch. The trim looks like it's all been replaced- the bumpers, grill, headlight bezels, stainless, mirrors etc. New windshield, window seals and weatherstrips. The door jambs are painted real nice. Bottom of the doors are clean.

Has a new center console with the horseshoe shifter. Door panels, rear seat, and carpet are replaced. Headliner was replaced but has some wrinkles.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: I'm impressed, good looking motor compartment. Has a performance built 468 big block making over 600 hp. Has performance cam, high rise aluminum intake with a giant dual feed Holley carb, MSD ignition system and a set of headers. Dressed up with tall aluminum valve covers, front of the motor has March billet pulleys and brackets. It has serpentine belt system, aluminum alternator and an aluminum mini a/c compressor. Runs cool with an aluminum water pump, dual electric fans and a polished overflow bottle. The engine bay is all painted up very nicely. It features power modern power steering with braided stainless steel hoses and power brakes. New wiper motor, has an external vacuum pump because of the performance cam.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It's perfectly clean, dry original metal trunk floor and even the quarter panels are the originals. You can see the factory seams and spot welds in the jamb. There's still some factory spatter paint on the inner quarters. It does have a new tire on a rim for a spare. Bottom of the trunk lid is painted glossy, has new weather strip.
UNDERSIDE: Body was off the frame and the bottom is very clean metal painted body color. The chassis was completely restored and detailed. The front steering and suspension is completely rebuilt or replaced- ball joints, shocks, springs, bushings, sway bar etc. Bottom of the motor has a chrome extra capacity oil pan and a high-torque starter. It has the flywheel cover, the turbo 400 transmission has a chrome pan. There is a driveshaft safety loop. In back it has boxed lower control arms, Hotchkis adjustable upper control arms, air shocks and a new sway. It also has a 12 bolt rear end with a chrome cover and a 4.10 posi. All new upgraded brake system with discs at all four wheels. Drilled and slotted rotors in front. The calipers are painted the color of the car.
