1971 Chevrolet Chevelle SS

Here we have the quintessential muscle car. A 1971 Chevelle SS replete with many archetypal hot rod mods. First and foremost, it’s a big block – and a great one, the time-honored 375 horse 396. Underneath the chrome open-element air cleaner is a big Holley 4 barrel mounted on a Holley aluminum intake. This combo makes maximum use of the intake charge from the trademark Cowl Induction hood and high volume fuel pump. A free-flowing exhaust system consisting of a set of headers, dual pipes, and flow-through mufflers expels the spent gases. The rest of the drivetrain is definitely up to the task. The Turbo 400 is regarded as one of the most rugged transmissions of all time, and this car has it. The secret to a long life for the tranny is to keep it cool. So the trans is equipped with a high-capacity deep finned cast aluminum pan and a tranny cooler mounted in front of the radiator. Finally, you have the comfort of knowing there’s a brawny 12-bolt rear axle to put the power to the pavement. The black vinyl interior features bucket seats and a center console with the easy-to-grip basket handle shifter. The hot muscle car theme continues inside with a column-mounted Sunpro tach and triple gauges mounted under the dash — racing style. White paint with black Super Sport stripes give the car an all-business appearance, along with the classic Rally wheels and the aforementioned Cowl hood. This 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle SS is the perfect answer for drivers looking for a great muscle machine or anyone who appreciates power, performance, and that unmistakable sound, look, and feel.
