Few muscle cars command as much recognition and notoriety as the Chevelle. One look at this 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 Tribute, and it's easy to see why this car has left an indelible mark on enthusiasts worldwide, despite being out of production since 1977. Fully repainted in a head-turning Cranberry red complemented by a set of full-length black painted SS stripes to go along with its pinned cowl-induction hood, this Tribute shows off the aggressive lines of the Chevelle from any angle.
Inside, we find a clean black vinyl interior. A center console separates dual bucket seats, while a power-assisted, two-spoke steering wheel sits just ahead of a big three-pod gauge cluster featuring a 7,000 rpm tachometer and 120 mph speedometer. An old-school AM radio handles limited soundtrack duties, while a chrome cueball shifter combines with the easy-to-see shift pattern plate to provide all the entertainment necessary for any long drive.
Under the hood, we find a clean engine bay with a massive 454 cubic-inch V-8 engine, on display. This big block sports a single four-barrel AVS2 carburetor and Edelbrock intake manifold, while spent gases are expelled through a set of long tube headers and guttural StreetMax dual exhaust. That power is routed through a Muncie four-speed manual transmission before being sent to a twelve-bolt rear end, which translates those ponies to the pavement via a set of 15-inch powder-coated black wheels with Chevrolet center caps, shod in Firestone Wide Oval tires.
