454V8, TH400 AUTO, COLOR SHIFT PAINT, BLACK BUCKET SEATS, TOPLESS FUN!
HIGHLIGHTS: Wow! This 1971 Chevelle Convertible is a beauty! You'd be hard pressed to find one in this condition, with a 454, and in this price range especially with a slick paint job like this! This Chevelle is a blast to drive, and will make a great addition to anyone's garage!
BODY OVERVIEW: The body on this Chevelle is clean and straight, having seen a restoration in the past. The restoration has held up well! The body is straight, and it's clear this drop-top Chevy hasn't been abused since it was restored. Plus, the polished Centerline wheels really set it off!
PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW: The paint really makes this Chevelle stand out! Breaking from tradition (in a good way!),the blue/purple color shift paint is something you don't see very often. Coupled with the polished wheels, this slick paint job really makes this car pop! This Chevelle is the definition of curb appeal!
INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW: What could be better inside a classic Chevelle convertible than black bucket seats? Not much! Beautifully restored, like the rest of the car, the black interior is a great pairing with the exterior color. Plus that classic automatic console is a nice touch! Restored to original style, the only notable change is the addition of aftermarket gauges under the dash to ensure you know what's happening under the hood. All of the interior components are in great shape, and this car is ready to go!
MECHANICAL OVERVIEW: We cannot stress enough how mechanically satisfying this Chevelle is! Turn the key and the 454 comes to life, creating a nice low rumble that is sure to turn heads. It runs great, is a blast to drive, and the exhaust alone is sure to turn some heads. This car is incredibly fun to drive, and is well-suited for spirited weekend cruising.
WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR: It's a big block Chevelle convertible!
WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR: For some people, air conditioning is a dealbreaker. Fortunately, this car is a convertible!
DOES IT NEED ANYTHING? The only item we noted as inoperable was the horn.
WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR THIS CAR? Anyone looking for the ultimate weekend warrior.
