1971 Chevrolet Chevelle Super Sport

A genuine big-block Chevelle with its original drivetrain, factory documentation, and largely untouched body structure is exactly the kind of car serious collectors look for. This 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle Super Sport checks those boxes in a major way.

Factory equipped with the Z15 SS 454 Group and retaining its numbers-matching LS5 454 engine, M22 heavy-duty four-speed transmission, and 12-bolt rear axle, this Chevelle also includes its original build sheet and an NCRS Shipping Data Report, supporting its pedigree.

Built in Baltimore, Maryland, and delivered new to H B Chevrolet in Flushing, New York, the car was originally finished in Antique Green Poly (Code 49) with a Sandalwood interior (Code 715). It retains its original sheet metal, floors, and interior, making its preservation especially noteworthy. The exterior has received one repaint in a modern base-clear finish, while the underside has been painted black. The car has never been frame-off restored and shows no patchwork underneath, preserving much of its original structure and character.

Under the hood is the factory numbers-matching LS5 454 big-block, one of the most desirable engines offered in the Chevelle lineup. The engine was recently removed, resealed, and repainted, helping to refresh its mechanical presentation while retaining the original powerplant. It is backed by the numbers-matching M22 heavy-duty four-speed manual transmission, providing a direct, mechanical driving experience characteristic of a true muscle-era Super Sport.

The rear features the correct-stamped GY2 12-bolt rear axle with a 3.31 ratio and G80 Positraction. The car is equipped with the desirable F41 Special Suspension Package, making it one of the more serious factory performance configurations available in 1971.

Additional factory equipment includes N40 power steering, J50 power brakes with front discs, U14 gauge package, U80 auxiliary rear speaker, and the A51/D55 Strato bucket seat and console combination. The rear brakes have been upgraded to discs for improved stopping performance, while the front power disc brakes remain original.

This Chevelle was also built with factory air conditioning. The compressor and condenser are currently removed, but the engine brackets are included, allowing the next owner to restore the system to operation while maintaining the fact that this was originally an air-conditioned SS 454.

The original wheels have been recently powder coated and fitted with four brand-new tires, giving the car a fresh, correct stance. The original interior remains in place, presenting in factory Sandalwood, which contrasts attractively with the Antique Green exterior. The combination of factory colors, original materials, and documented SS equipment provides an authentic feel.

The original build sheet is included, offering valuable confirmation of the factory configuration. The NCRS Shipping Data Report further documents its original dealer and delivery history. Together with the matching engine, transmission, rear axle, original floors, and sheet metal, the paperwork adds credibility to this highly desirable Chevelle.

With its numbers-matching LS5 454, M22 four-speed, correct 12-bolt Positraction rear, factory SS 454 package, original build sheet, NCRS documentation, original interior, and sheet metal, this 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle Super Sport offers a rare pedigree. As the final year for the LS5 454 in the Chevelle lineup, it represents an important chapter in Chevrolet's big-block muscle car era and is ready to be shown, driven, and appreciated by its next owner.
