1971 Chevrolet Chevelle

1971 Chevrolet Chevelle Pro Touring - ProCharged 502 / 800+ HP / 4L80E Automatic This 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle Pro Touring is a serious frame-off, nut-and-bolt-built street machine finished in slick **Cortez Silver** over a black bucket-seat interior. Built from a rust-free body with rust-free floors, this Chevelle combines classic A-body muscle car styling with massive forced-induction big-block power, upgraded suspension, modern braking, Vintage heat and air conditioning, and over **$100,000 invested**. Powered by a fully reworked **502/502 GM crate big-block V8** now making over **800 horsepower**, this Chevelle is far beyond a typical cruiser. The engine is force-fed by an **intercooled DB1 ProCharger**, paired with a blow-through 950 carburetor and complete MSD ignition system. Backing the power is a **4L80E automatic transmission**, giving the car a strong, proven drivetrain setup built to handle serious horsepower. Exterior The body is finished in **Cortez Silver**, one of the most attractive and timeless colors on a classic Chevrolet muscle car. The paint has a slick, clean presentation that works perfectly with the Chevelle's long hood, muscular quarter panels, chrome trim, and aggressive pro-touring stance. This car was treated to a **complete frame-off nut-and-bolt restoration**, and the build started with a rust-free body and floors. The exterior keeps a clean, classic look while the stance, wheels, hood treatment, and performance hardware make it clear this is not a stock Chevelle. The black top, dark hood accents, polished wheels, and lowered stance give this car a sinister street-machine look without taking away from the clean Chevelle body lines. Wheels & Stance This Chevelle sits on staggered **18-inch front and 20-inch rear billet wheels**, giving it a modern pro-touring profile with the right amount of attitude. The suspension has been upgraded with **Hotchkis adjustable rear trailing arms and sway bars**, helping control the power and sharpen the car's road manners. The overall stance is low, wide, and aggressive - exactly what you want from a high-horsepower pro touring A-body. Interior Inside, the car features a clean black bucket-seat interior with a factory-style layout and tasteful performance upgrades. The cabin includes bucket seats, a floor shifter, AutoMeter gauges, an Alpine stereo system, and **Vintage heat and air conditioning**. A 6-point roll cage with removable bars** adds to the serious street-car feel while still keeping the interior usable. The removable bars help maintain practicality while giving the car the performance-minded structure and look expected from a build of this level. The interior remains comfortable enough to enjoy on the street, but every detail reminds you this Chevelle was built with real horsepower in mind. Engine & Performance Under the hood is the centerpiece of the build: a fully reworked **502/502 GM crate engine** now producing over **800 horsepower**. The engine is equipped with an **intercooled DB1 ProCharger**, a blow-through **950 carburetor**, and a complete **MSD ignition system**. This is a serious forced-induction big-block combination. The 502 cubic-inch foundation provides massive torque, while the ProCharger adds the kind of boost and top-end pull that turns this Chevelle into a true street monster. A **mandrel-bent 3-inch exhaust system** gives the big-block the sound and flow it deserves. Drivetrain Backing the ProCharged 502 is a **4L80E automatic transmission**, one of the most respected and durable automatic transmissions in the muscle car world. Known for strength and reliability, the TH400 is the right kind of transmission for a high-horsepower big-block build like this. Power is sent to a **12-bolt rear end** with **3.73 gears**, Positraction, and **Moser C-clip eliminator axles**. That rear-end setup gives the car the strength and gearing needed to handle serious power while still keeping it stre
