Here is a real treat for Chevelle lovers. It is a genuine 1971 SS454 that has been fully restored with just over 500 miles since completion. With a show quality finish and monster big block, the final product looks and performs better than it did off the showroom floor. It also retains many of its factory options included air conditioning, cowl induction, power front disc brakes, and more. The car is finished in its original code 26 Mulsanne Blue with a black vinyl top and black stripes. The paint is excellent as is the vinyl top. Same with all the chrome and moldings. It also includes the correct emblems, hood pins, and a working cowl induction setup. The underside looks great too; be sure to see the shots of the rocker panels. This Chevelle rolls on US Mags wheels with Nitto NT555 tires (245/45ZR17 front, 295/40ZR18 rear). The original 454ci engine is nowhere it be found, likely the victim of abuse in the 70’s. However, its replacement provides a significant upgrade. It was built by Long’s Machine and uses a 3999289 block with 353049 oval port heads. Everything was worked over and many performance parts installed. Highlights include a hydraulic roller camshaft, roller rockers, Edelbrock intake, and Quick Fuel carburetor. There is also an electric fuel pump, MSD ignition (hidden under the dashboard), and ceramic coated Hedman headers. Additional features include a serpentine belt drive and dual electric cooling fans. The exhaust is a full 3” with H-pipe and sounds fantastic!
