The Chevelle underwent a transition from the 1970 to the 1971 model year, maintaining its body profile while introducing restyled front and rear fascias, a wider grille, new bumpers, and dual round taillights.
If you’re a fan of the 1971 Chevelle, there’s an intriguing car to consider: featuring a black exterior paired with a tan interior, black 17/18” US Mag wheels, a cutout hood, dual chrome sport mirrors, and 4-wheel power disc brakes. The grille might resemble one from a Chevelle sedan.
Inside, Pro-Car bucket seats with custom upholstery, a center console with a floor shifter, auxiliary gauges, and an upgraded Sony AM/FM/CD radio await.
The highlight is its powertrain configuration: equipped with a supercharged Dart 400 ci V8 engine with Brodix aluminum heads, two 4-barrel Holley carburetors, headers, dual exhaust, and an aluminum radiator with dual electric fans.
Power is transmitted via a three-speed TH350 automatic gearbox. While the ad lacks specific performance figures, the combination suggests considerable power, possibly comparable to a Hellcat. As for its value at $60k, it depends.
Comparable models have varied in auction outcomes, suggesting subjective valuation. However, considering its unique features and potential performance, the price seems reasonable, albeit subjective due to its customizations.
