1971 Chevrolet Chevelle ss Description:

1971 SS454 Chevelle LS5

what this is...a real deal SS454 chevelle. The car has been around my area since new. The chevelle had been inside the back of garage without being started for 30 years. Brought it home and put a battery and fresh fluids in it and got it started The original old school proper American Racing wheels (not Repops!) were pretty nice but the tires were just carcasses. The wheels were cleaned up and the bias tires replaced with Mickey Thompson radials. I do havea set of four OE 71 SSmag look wheels to go with it. Drives beautifullybut the radiator core was rotted out, I installed an aluminum OE fit replacement and kept the original radiator that is steamed and cleaned and goes with car. The motor runs great, its a 1970 built car and has the correct 512 block but itsNOM. It has original intake, distribrutor, even some of the hoses and clamps that are still in good shape. The q jet was gone and it has a 750DP that works great. To the best of memory it had a LS6 cam, lifters and springs installed at the local chevy dealer when it was just about new and had a set of Mickey Thompson Super Scavenger headersand M/T valve covers installed...the covers AND Scavengers are still on it. I did put new walker turbo mufflers and 2 1/2 exhaust on with NOS real GM SS tips. With the solids adjusted and the scavengers TINGING & POPPING it takes you back a few decades.

I have the build sheet for it, pretty basic big block car; SS454 365hp / th400 / red exterior / black interior /bench seat / tilt wheel / tach and gauges / stripe delete / non cowl induction / 2.73 posi

The car was painted over the factory red, the jams and under trunk etc. are still original,the inside of trunk has never been touched. I replaced the front seat cover because it was split and put new carpet in because the original was worn threadbare. 95% of interior is unmolested original, along with trim, chrome, bumpers, lenses, hood pins and lanyards.has original SS wheel for the spare, jack, etc .all there. I have video, can take video, pics, whatever you need...Feel comfortable to ask away. Thanks and hope it goes to a new home to be maintained and enjoyed by another.
