Heres the bottom line on this 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle convertible: its amazing. With a thundering 454 under the hoodand#44; a gorgeous Tuxedo Black paint joband#44; and a restored red interiorand#44; its a great all-around performer that will fit right in on the show fieldand#44; too. 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 beautifully applied black paint thats bereft of any 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 fact that these are all the cars original panels. A functional cowl induction hood with pins makes it a little aggressiveand#44; but nothing outside the factory specifications has been doneand#44; so its very much the way Chevy might have built it in 1971. Chrome is nicely doneand#44; and the blacked-out SS grille gives it a monochromatic lookand#44; and aside from the red pinstripes along the sidesand#44; they just let the clean shape do most of the talking. This is a gorgeous car! The red bucket seat interior is almost entirely newand#44; and theres no better combination if you want to look elegant yet sporty. Showing virtually no wear and exceptional workmanshipand#44; this fabulous interior is a great place to spend your weekends. The center console features what might be the coolest shifter ever devised by the guys at GMand#44; and the original gauge cluster is full of restored dialsand#44; including a factory tach. A/C is an unusual addition but thanks to modern hardware working behind the scenesand#44; you cant argue with how effective it is. A powerful AM/FM stereo lives in the dash and fits like it was born thereand#44; and stock carpetsand#44; door panelsand#44; and dash pad round out an interior youll be proud to call your own. Theres a new black power convertible top with matching red boot and the trunk is cleanly detailed and ready to hit the road. Power comes from a 454 cubic inch V8 that was rebuilt to stock specs 729 miles ago. Everything under the hood is as OEM as possibleand#44; giving it a factory lookand#44; although the black air cleaner inside the cowl induction housing is a modern twist and theres a Sanden A/C compressor up front. There are a few dress-up items like the bright chrome valve covers and water neckand#44; but the intent was to let the hardware do all the talking; that means a 750 cfm 4-barrel carband#44; aluminum intake manifoldand#44; and a rumbling dual exhaust system. The transmission is a 700R4 4-speed automatic with a deep overdrive for easy long distance cruisingand#44; even with the 3.73 gears on a Posi in the 12-bolt rear. The chassis is very nicely finished and almost all newand#44; which means you can drive this one without worriesand#44; because its totally sorted. Power front disc brakes provide confident stopping powerand#44; heavy duty sway bars help in the handling department. Rounding out this handsome A-body is a set of chrome wheels wearing low-profile rubber that gives it a predatory stance. This car is every bit as cool as it seems and the workmanship throughout is top quality. With overdrive and plenty of horsepowerand#44; its a fabulous long-distance cruiser and you can proudly display the spectacular paint and interior anywhere you go. Call today! |
