INTRODUCTION: Don't compare this to the others-this one stands apart. It's a factory Tuxedo Black, no vinyl top SS 454, born with cowl induction, gauges, and a 4-speed! On top of that, it's a numbers matching motor, includes a copy of the build sheet, and is in truly impressive condition throughout.
EXTERIOR: This is truly a black beauty! The body has outstanding fit and finish-about as good as you'll find! Precise gaps and panels that are laser-straight from the rockers to the roof. It features the highly desirable original cowl induction hood with a functional flapper door. Refinished in its factory Tuxedo Black without a vinyl top, it looks better than it ever did new, with correctly painted white SS stripes and a mirror-like shine. The front and rear glass are new, the moldings are straight and polished, and the bumpers shine bright. It's sitting on a restored set of 15-inch SS wheels wrapped in Cooper GT tires, giving it the perfect stance. I need to say it again - this body is amazing!
INTERIOR: The interior looks practically new and is loaded with great features! The dash area has been beautifully restored and includes factory gauges including a tachometer, along with an AM/FM radio that looks original but has modern internals. Down on the floor is fresh carpet with reproduction mats, a complete set of original seat belts, and a center console with the factory 4-speed shifter. The seats have been re-cushioned and reupholstered, while the door panels and armrests have been replaced. The headliner and visors are new as well. It's very tidy, clean, and well-presented throughout.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: This is where it gets really good! Under the hood is the original, VIN # matching LS5 454 with correct 512 casting and proper date codes. In 1971, while most horsepower ratings dropped, the Chevelle actually gained 5 horsepower, and this big block delivers an impressive 500 lb-ft of torque. The engine is dressed correctly with stock manifolds, valve covers, and the factory functional cowl induction system feeding it fresh air. It's also equipped with power steering and power brakes. The entire compartment is beautifully detailed, featuring reproduction spark plug wires, a new wiring harness, correct fuel lines, and all metal surfaces painted smooth and tidy. It's finished with GM hoses and clamps, hooked-up horns and squirters, a fresh wiper motor, and proper hood insulation-everything looks just right.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The trunk is very clean and well detailed throughout. Under the trunk lid and in the jamb, the paint is slick and finished to match the quality of the exterior. Inside, it's solid, clean metal with a neatly applied spatter finish. The weatherstrip, decals, and trunk mat have all been replaced. It's complete with a jack assembly and a spare, including a matching SS wheel-just the way you want to see it.
UNDERSIDE: Underneath, it's completely restored, dialed in mechanically, and detailed beautifully. It features the F41 suspension with boxed rear control arms and front and rear sway bars, and the steering and suspension have been fully rebuilt- upgraded with air shocks in back. The brake system has been completely redone with front disc brakes, and all lines and e-brake cables have been replaced. The fuel system is new as well, including the tank and lines. It has a factory style dual exhaust with correct cowbell tips. Looking up at the motor, it's clean Chevy Orange with a fresh-looking starter. The Muncie 4-speed also appears fresh, and a rebuilt driveshaft leads back to a 12-bolt rear end. The floors, braces, and inner rockers are all smooth, clean metal, along with the chassis components and frame, which have been neatly painted black.
