1971 Chevy Chevelle SS 402 4 Speed Convertible Barn Find wit hbuild sheet included.

Own a piece of documented history...... this makes the value sky rocket!


This is a 1971 Chevelle SS Convertible that was recently procured from it's original owner. 

The car retains it's original coat of Nevada silver paint that GM applied back in 1971. The original owner purchased the car in 1971 from a dealer in Elgin, IL. He used the car up until 1980 or so and the car has been off the road since then. The car seen a few trips to the drag strip in the mid 80's, but sat for a long time. 

The interior is completely original and will need plenty of work. The SS dash is in great shape. The car has a power top, the original M-20 4 speed. The engine is unfortunately not the original. It is a 1971 454 that only has about 3,000 miles on it. It was last run about 3 years ago and is free, but I have not started it. 

The frame is completely solid front to rear. The car is truly a very solid piece. The quarters, obviously original to the car are really nice. Inner/outer wheelhouses are issue free. Trunk is rock solid. Floors are super nice, the driver and passenger front pans each have golf ball sized holes at the toe board front seams, but do NOT need replacement. The doors are super nice. The only real rust issue with the car is the dog leg portion of the front fenders. They have some rust. Obviously, the top is shot. The top frame is very nice and it is power. The car has disk brakes, power steering, power top. The original posi rear end. The rims and tires are not original to the car. 

The trans shifts in and out of every gear fine...the clutch engages. 

The brakes...well those are going to need to be gone through. 

I have no POP, have the original title. 

The car is as honest as they come. It's a REAL SS 4 speed posi convertible that when you get done with will have all original metal. I urge a local inspection.


This car is a investment, not a expense.

Veyron and C7 Corvette join cast of Transformers 4

Wed, 29 May 2013

Like the Fast & Furious franchise, the Michael Bay-directed series of Transformers movies has become known as much for its bad acting as its impressive lineup of cars. As filming just started for Transformers 4, Bay's website has confirmed two new cars for the next installment as well as a makeover for everyone's favorite tractor trailer hero, Optimus Prime.
Joining the cast of T4 are a "race-inspired" Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. While Bay's website did not supply names for either car, Bugatti is reporting on its Facebook page that the Veyron will join the Autobots. Speaking of the good guys, top Autobot Optimus Prime is getting an all-new body based on a Western Star with a gaudy appearance that was seemingly inspired by Trick My Truck - right down to the six smoke stacks and side pipes!

2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.

Joe Flacco wins C7 Corvette along with MVP honors

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

As part of a longstanding tradition, the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII, Joe Flacco, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, was given a new car directly after the game and trophy celebrations. For 2013, that car is a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and it was presented to Flacco by Rick Flick of Banner Chevrolet, a dealership in New Orleans that was wiped out by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 before returning to prominence as the only Chevy dealer in Orleans Parish.
Last year, Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning took home a 2012 Corvette GS Centennial Edition. Manning also won in 2008, when he selected a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid as his reward. In 2011, quarterback Aaron Rodgers accepted the keys to a Camaro convertible.
Though we're most definitely an auto-obsessed group, we did watch the Big Game along with nearly everyone else in America. And we've gotta say, as if winning the Super Bowl and receiving the Tiffany-designed Pete Rozelle Trophy wasn't enough for the multi-millionaire MVP athletes, a brand-new C7 seems like an awfully generous prize.
