Default '71 Chevelle SS/4-sp Project, Not Terrible

Sure, it's a bit of a mess, but I have seen WAY worse for $6k. Has to be a Super Sport, at least it's highly likely to be, given the round dash, bench seat 4-speed hump, cowl hood with orig paint, orig SS emblems, F41 front stabilizer bar, etc.

Cool project and there aren't a lot of halfway decent Chevelles available anymore at this price point.

Be interesting to know where it came from, because the severity of rust sure didn't happen in Austin, TX...

Any idea which engine it came with? If its got a 10 bolt that would only leave one option a 350/245hp L65. Am I correct?

If it’s a real SS and the 10-bolt is original to the car, then yes it could only be an L65. The only problem I see is what looks to be an original paint ZL2 hood which was only available on big block optioned SS cars in 1971-72 so it was either added a long time ago or the 12-bolt was swapped out. I wonder if it has a BB steering shaft, the pic doesn’t show the important end.

The L on the trim tag is a good indicator that the car is a real SS and the B next to it is for black D88 stripes.

If the car has a factory tach, it would tell you if the car was originally a SB or BB, 5000 vs. 5500 redline.
