That might also explain the absence of '454' emblems underneath the 'SS' emblems on the front fenders.

Nice find :biggthumpup:

Exactly right confirmed by the owner who had it repaired in early 80’’s. Car was parked in 85 and not touched until few months ago.

As found pics

Wow

I searched for Carolina Blue Chevelle Super Sports. A number of 1969 and 1970s. Couldn't find a single 1971

More Wows also best of luck w/ Everett coming up w/ any original paperwork!
If they don't have old Plate Frames, there's one on eBoy also an emblem same as you already have.

Great pic - thanks!! I have heard that Everett was known for performance muscle cars.

Awesome Find. 71 LS5 Vert in Carolina Blue. Doesn't get much "Specialer" If that is a word. ;), than that!
There was a guy around my home town who had a 72 1C37 Carolina Blue Chevelle. It was also an Arlington car. From what I've seen most of the Carolina Blue Chevelles came out of that plant. A few from the Baltimore plant.
Hard to find build sheets in Arlington cars that are salvageable. For what it is worth I did find a build sheet on top of the gas tank in a 72 Arlington car....I know that is not the norm, more of a Van Nuys thing but may be worth checking out. May get lucky.
Late build as well 06. Got the bullet mirror vs the earlier chrome 70 style remote.
Got to love the "Square" stripe on the Arlington 454 cars.
Definitely keep us posted. Cool car for sure.

That previous owner could give a clinic on how not to store a car.
