1971 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454

Description

The 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle is the ultimate muscle car for most of us. So when you find one in bright red, with full Super Sport livery and a big block, then you know it's love/lust at first sight. And when desire on wheels is also a convertible with A/C, you realize this is everything you've ever wanted and more in one turnkey package.

A bright red Chevelle is always a source of pride, but you can really tell that there was plenty invested in keeping this one a cut above. Bodywork is excellent all around, with great gaps and a lot of attention paid to getting those iconic black SS stripes correct. The result is a car that looks amazing as the sunlight highlights every curve from the cowl hood, to the subtle crease that runs the entire profile. A car that looks great on a sunny day is exactly what you want when you're iconic muscle car is also a rare convertible. And as you get closer to look for the details, it only gets better. The blacked out grille, hood pins, and all that correct SS badging gives this some real attitude. It's built before new bumper laws so those big chrome kings fit much snugger to the body, and the rear still houses the taillights in a very cool way. The bright attitude and performance image come together perfectly on those large 17-inch REV alloys.

Beneath the black roof is a nice black interior. There was some investment in all of the vinyl so you have a deep black appearance no matter with the top up or down. High back buckets, center console, and iconic horseshoe shifter means this is truly everything you love in a Chevelle already in place. You'll slip behind the classic three-spoke performance steering wheel and gaze at the desirable U14 gauge panel that gave the SS vehicles a full round gauge package, including tach. And while the stereo looks like an original knob-style unit, it's actually an AM/FM digital tuner with an aux input for the most modern music players. But one of your favorite features will likely be the air conditioning. Because with the touch of a button, the power folding roof opens you up to the world but the A/C means you can stay cool while looking cool in this Chevelle droptop.

But while this convertible has all the right features for cool cruising, you won't be able to resist stopping off at the car shows and lifting the hood. That's because the engine bay is filled with big block power. The proper orange block of the 454 cubic-inch motor just radiates power out of the slick black engine bay, and the shine of the air grabber and valve covers looks fantastic. But of course, your favorite feature of this V8 will be the roar the Flowmaster dual exhaust makes every time the big block comes to life. Add in power steering, power brakes, and a stout TH350 three-speed automatic transmission, and you've got the perfect anytime driving package.
