1971 brought several significant changes to the Chevelle lineup, including styling improvements, but as far as the SS version was concerned, the standard offering continued to be a two-barrel 350ci (5.7-liter) V8 engine.
On the other hand, a 402ci option was also available as the SS 396, eventually becoming one of the most popular versions of the new Chevelle.
That's the same unit powering the Chevelle SS we have here and which, according to its owner, comes with zero rust and with everything original.
In other words, it’s a rare all-original 1971 Chevelle SS 396 without a single spot of rust and which comes in “awesome condition,” as eBay seller motorsguy7881 themselves promises.
The photos indeed indicate the car is currently in good shape, and some improvements have already been made, including a full repaint performed several years ago.
Currently at its second owner, this Chevelle comes with full documents, it seems, though what’s missing right now is some info on the powertrain and the mileage. While we’re not told if the engine starts and runs normally, the seller claims the car “does some lifter noise and will need to be adjusted.” Other than that, it’s up to you to determine what’s happening under the hood.
No data has been shared on the mileage either, and the info published on eBay is just a placeholder.
The car is being sold as part of a no-reserve auction online, and the starting bid is $34,000. That’s quite ambitious, there’s no doubt about it, so it shouldn’t be such a big surprise that nobody submitted a bid since the beginning of the auction.
But at the same time, this Chevelle is definitely worth a look, especially given it’s an all-original example of the 1971 SS—but only if the price goes down a little. You can check out the car in person in Louisville, Kentucky.
