1971 Chevrolet Chevelle SS Tribute 540 Restomod

Description

This 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle SS tribute 540 Restomod gives you the best in classic style while also delivering the best upgrades. So if you look through the whole package, you'll see an A/C interior, an upgraded suspension, the control of six-speed, four-wheel disc brakes, and growling fuel injected 540 V8 that make this awesome.

We like how the Shadow Gray has a darker tone and metallic element to give this Super Sport tribute a modern and more aggressive look. This car was given a full multi-year rotisserie restoration completed in 2005, and it included a quality application of this distinct color. And you can tell quality and care were the big themes for this car once it was restored. The lines are clean, the gaps are even, the doors shut confidently, and there's a beautiful glow to the brightwork. But this beauty is also a beast. The dark tone of the color makes for the ideal companion to the black racing stripes painted on for permanence. And there are more aggressive SS features, like the cowl hood, hood pins, and blackout grille. Plus, those 17-inch American Racing Torq Thrust wheels set the tone for a polished, powerful, and upgraded car.

Finding a better color than black for a proper muscle car interior is hard. That's why we're happy to see the seating, door panels, and dash have a clean dark look. It makes for the kind of coupe you'll proudly share with family and friends. There's even air conditioning (needs servicing to blow cold) to keep them all happy. But what you'll like is how this focuses on the driver. It includes front bucket seats, an upgraded Lecarra steering wheel, added oil pressure readouts, and a clear round gauge panel with a large speedo and tach. Plus, the FAST EFI module mounted to the dash face hints at something special under the hood. And have you counted the gears on the shifter yet?

The engine bay has a fresh, clean style perfect for showcasing all this muscle. This awesome 540 cubic-inch V8 has been built for all-around appeal with performance pieces such as an Edelbrock intake, AFR aluminum heads, serpentine belt setup, MSD ignition, and an aluminum radiator with dual electric fans. It's then topped with a FAST electronic fuel injection system that upgrades both the power and consistency of this mighty big block. The long tube headers add even more muscle as they feed into the dual exhaust and Flowmaster mufflers. It makes for a powerful and easy-to-enjoy package, so having the right worthwhile driving upgrades is nice. This includes four-wheel power disc brakes, power steering, tubular control arms front end, and a Hotchkis performance four-link rear. The Richmond six-speed manual transmission also means extra gears and better ratios than the factory ever offered. It feeds into a 12-bolt Moser rear end with an Eaton Positraction diff for confident take-offs from every stoplight.

Titled with a salvage brand. The sale comes complete with a detailed build timeline. This is the Chevelle SS restomod with the right power and style to be a true head-turner. So don't miss your chance at a terrific total package. Call now!
