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.

Crash victim found still inside car 6 hours after it was towed away [w/video]

Wed, Jan 7 2015

Police near Dayton, OH, have quite a confusing case on their hands after the victim of a crash early on New Year's Day couldn't initially be found. Six hours later, the man was discovered lying on the vehicle's floorboard at the tow yard. The unidentified person was admitted to a local hospital in critical condition with possible leg injuries. The police first responded to the scene of the crash around 3:00 am on New Year's Day when a Chevrolet Impala hit a utility pole and drove through a fence, according to WHIO News. The authorities claim that they searched for the man for an hour and a half and came up with nothing. The car was then hauled away to the yard, which was only about 500 feet away. The tow yard worker found the man around 9:00 am and called 911. However, he was clearly dubious about the injured man's predicament and suggested to the operator that he might have returned to the Impala. Police are still investigating the incident. According to WHIO, authorities might have somehow missed the man in the sedan during the search. Alternatively, he could have left the scene of the accident and later returned. Watch the video below for more about this bizarre case. The video meant to be presented here is no longer available. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Chevrolet planning low-cost Corvette under Stingray?

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

If you're burnt out on musings about the Chevrolet Corvette, you'll want to go ahead and skip this post. Motor Trend reports General Motors is hard at work on a low-cost version of the seventh-generation sports car for 2015. Rumored to be called the Corvette Coupe, the car will forgo the Stingray and skip the 450-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine in favor of a 5.3-liter V8 with under 400 ponies. If you're keeping track, that's a shade of the same engine found behind the headlights of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.
The report also suggests the Coupe will receive a number of aesthetic tweaks to separate it from the Stingray, including different front and rear fascias as well as new front fenders and a rear diffuser. Motor Trend says the point of all this is to cut the car's price tag, which means we may see a Corvette on showroom floors for less than $50,000 if this car comes to fruition.

GM puts 3 million miles on hydrogen fuel cell test fleet

Mon, May 12 2014

Have General Motors' hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles emitted enough water vapor over the past six-plus years to equal the steam coming out of Old Faithful? Not exactly, but GM has released a few figures related to the Project Driveway initiative it began in 2007. The numbers are impressive, if not quite of the geyser-spouting variety. In all, the General converted 119 Chevrolet Equinox SUVs to run on hydrogen, and those vehicles have just collectively surpassed the 3 million mile mark. And if you were waiting for us to tell you that the distance equals a half-dozen round trips between the earth and the moon, well, there you go. The better news is that the SUVs have combined to save almost 158,000 gallons worth of gas, and some of the vehicles have more than 120,000 miles on them. More than 5,000 drivers have participated in the project. GM reached that landmark about 10 months after it announced that it was working with Honda to accelerate the development of hydrogen fuel-cell powertrain technology. The two companies estimated last summer that it may have something to sell to the public as soon as 2020. For now, you can check out General Motors' press release below. GM Fuel Cell Fleet Tops 3 Million Miles Chevrolet Equinox fuel cell vehicles driven in real world reach milestone DETROIT – General Motors' fleet of fuel cell vehicles recently passed 3 million miles of hydrogen-powered, real-world driving. Some individual vehicles have accumulated more than 120,000 miles. By GM's estimate, using hydrogen to power these vehicles, the fleet has avoided 157,894 gallons of gasoline consumption. This specially equipped fleet of Chevrolet Equinox Fuel Cell vehicles are part of GM's 119-vehicle Project Driveway program, which launched in 2007. Since then, more than 5,000 drivers have provided feedback on the functionality and drivability of fuel cell technology. "Hydrogen fuel cell technology is an important part of GM's advanced propulsion portfolio and we continue to make substantial progress in furthering this technology," said Charlie Freese, executive director of GM's global fuel cell engineering activities. "These vehicles have operated through seven full winters and a wide range of environmental conditions, proving that fuel cells can meet the demands of real-world drivers." Last year, GM announced two fuel cell-related collaborations.
