1971 Chevrolet Chevelle SS

1971 CHEVELLE SS 454.

A very nice example of what appears to be an SS 454 2 door Sports Coupe, built in Oshawa. This vehicle is equipped with a TURBO 400 Automatic Transmission, 12 Bolt rear differential with a 4:11 Posi-trac which has recently been serviced with Amsoil synthetic lubricants. The original engine was at some point upgraded to what was sold as an LS6 450HP 454 Factory GM Crate engine with a Hi Perf Pass engine block which has the correct XAA Stamping used during limited production of the open chamber LS6 454 Crate engines. The engine sports a factory high-performance solid lifter camshaft, a factory correct aluminum high rise intake designed for the application, a chrome high flow air filter breather with the 450HP decal. The vehicle also has the factory high rise hood. This vehicle also has sway bars front and rear, SS door panels and SS454 emblems as came on the SS454 production vehicles. If this car is a tribute it was certainly done properly.


The 454 Chevelle is one of the truly great American muscle cars and this one comes with a few very nice upgrades such as ceramic coated Hooker Competition Series exhaust headers with x-pipe and flow master mufflers, MSD electronic ignition system distributor and new 3310-1 Holley dual line carburetion.


The vehicle also has add on air conditioning. A/C was not offered as an option on the 1971 454 Chevelle. It has a beautiful set of factory black spoke wheels with brand new 60 series TA Radials mounted on them. The vehicle has seen a nicely done older restoration. It has been garaged continuously and kept very clean. The black interior is nice with minimal wear. Underneath, the vehicle looks free of any major body, frame or structural repairs and one can see that the brake lines and the fuel tank are among the many things that have been replaced on this vehicle.


There are a number of original parts ...including the original exhaust manifolds and ignition distributor that are included in the sale along with an owner's manual and shop manuals.

The vehicle runs fantastic, very strong. I saw a few of these go for over 60 thousand at one of the big car auctions recently. Those cars were so perfect and clean ... they almost looked like they had been sterilized. You certainly couldn't drive one of them around and enjoy it very much. You'd be too worried about a little dirt or dust getting on it. Does that sound fun? Well, this car is no trailer baby. It's a super nice driver's grade and THAT is way-way cooler. These cars were built to provide an amazing driving experience. They were never intended to sit in some building waiting for a trailer to haul it some place. Come check it out. You really need to experience this one yourself. I predict that by the year 2030 you will probably need 100 grand to own a car like this.
