Details: Heres the bottom line on this 1971 Chevelle: its a really nice car. With a stout 355 under the hoodand#44; a gorgeous Lemans Blue paint joband#44; and a 4-speedand#44; its a great all-around performer with a very attractive price. With so many garden-variety Chevelles out thereand#44; its really refreshing to see one that is just a little outside the ordinary.

There are a lot of guys who think the 71 Chevelle is the best looking of the bunchand#44; myself included. Add in the Lemans Blue paint and black SS stripesand#44; and you have a car that wont be overlooked despite its relatively subtle combination. The bodywork looks really clean on this oneand#44; and the unadorned flanks are straight and free of ripples and blemishesand#44; which is a tribute to both the workmanship and the care this car has received since it was finished. There might be a few signs of useand#44; some inevitable scratches in the black parts of the paintand#44; but for the moneyand#44; this is a very good-looking car. Its also nice to see that they skipped the cowl-induction hood and shaved all the badgesand#44; so this one looks clean and sleek rather than over-dressed. Chrome is nicely doneand#44; and the blacked-out grille gives it an aggressive look thats not over-the-top.

The bucket seat interior is largely stockand#44; and we like the way buckets without a console look: industrial strength and focused on performance. Showing almost no wear and nice workmanshipand#44; this handsome interior is a great place to spend your weekends. Its not a real SSand#44; so you get a standard gauge clusterand#44; but its been augmented by a set of white-faced dials under the dash and a tach hanging next door. Theres also a Grant GT steering wheeland#44; an AM/FM/CD stereo that might need replacementand#44; and a Hurst shifterand#44; just in case. Stock carpetsand#44; door panelsand#44; and headliner round out an interior youll be proud to call your own. The trunk is tidyand#44; offering spatter-finish paint and a correct mat and no major signs of trouble.

Power comes from a 355 cubic inch V8and#44; which is the ideal powerplant in a cruiser like a Chevelle. Making great torqueand#44; it moves this big blue coupe with real authority and a snarling exhaust note leaves no doubts as to its performance intentions. Theres no secret to performanceand#44; so it has an upgraded Edelbrock intake manifold and 4-barrel carburetorand#44; a mild cam insideand#44; and a set of long-tube headers. There are a few dress-up itemsand#44; including chrome valve coversand#44; but I appreciate the builders desire to stick to the factory look as much as possible. The transmission is the aforementioned 4-speedand#44; which feeds a 10-bolt rear end that doesnt seem to mind the power running through it. The chassis is quite solid and cleanand#44; but not detailed for showand#44; which means you can drive this one without worries about dirt and the occasional rain shower. Rounding out this handsome A-body is a set of traditional Cragar mags wearing 235/70/15 white-letter tires.

This car is every bit as cool as it seemsand#44; and the workmanship throughout is very nicely done. And yesand#44; it really is as sleek as it looks in photos; come down and see it in personand#44; and I guarantee youll want to take it home. Call today!
