BODY

Restored to roughly the same state in which it rolled out of GM's Arlington factory, his Chevelle features an arrow-straight body that hides virtually no imperfections. Naturally, he car's fit and finish has benefitted from over 40 years of improved build techniques. It's correct Tuxedo Black 2-stage is super reflective and much nicer than original lacquer. And Antique White stripes and a fresh white top, hich replaced an original black top, re tight, ight and ready to ride. At the front of the car, correct Super Sport grille centers a pristine, hite-inlayed emblem between familiar T3 headlights. Behind that grille, n optional ZL-2 cowl induction hood is complete with correct stainless pins. And an array of prominent "SS" emblems stands out like skid marks on sun-bleached blacktop.

DRIVETRAIN

In 1971, he biggest and baddest engine you could shove between the fenders of a Chevrolet passenger car was the mighty LS5 454. And, ccording to the factory, his coupe's original LS5, hich hangs a familiar 3963512 casting number behind a correct "CPA" suffix stamp and matching partial VIN, wists 365 horsepower into an impressive 550 lb./ft. of torque! That massive twist flows through a tough Muncie 4-speed on its way to a sturdy 12-bolt axle. Holding that killer drivetrain off the ground is a familiar F41 Special Performance Suspension, hich is equipped with factory power steering, eavy-duty sway bars, oxed control arms, nd stiffer springs and shocks. That hardware floats between rebuilt power front disc and rear drum brakes. Spent gases exit through high performance, rue-dual pipes that are finished with factory replacement mufflers. Power flows through monochromatic Super Sport wheels and fresh, 70-15 Firestone tires. And, esthetically, his road ready Chevelle's fresh exterior transitions nicely into a Satin Black chassis that perfectly contrasts vivid Chevy Orange block paint.

INTERIOR

Featuring a correct Black interior, his convertible's crisp cockpit is both simple and inviting. Its slick bucket and bench seat combo is firm to the touch and shows no signs of wear at all. In front of those thrones, straight Super Sport dash hangs deluxe telemetry above a correct radio and factory air conditioning. Below that dash, stainless-trimmed console anchors a modern Hurst shifter between color-keyed floor mats. In front of the driver, simple steering wheel laps a tilting column. And behind the passengers, fully restored trunk hides a full-size spare tire.

With its incredible motor, ust-worthy body and proven Super Sport chassis, his Chevelle is the very definition of muscle car. If you're in the market for a top-notch classic that can win trophies and literally own the street, on't miss your chance to take home a storied Chevrolet legend!
