1971 Chevelle SS 350

I Got My Chevelle,  I sold the Monte to a New Friend.   She has gone to a good home,  Still pretty local so all of you in PA here just might still her cruising around.    I bought the Chevelle in Cleveland Oh, from a Car Dealership.    They say it's an Authentic Chevelle SS 350 Car.    I know that without a protect-o-plate or acutal documentation stating its a true SS car.   It's kinda hard to tell on the 1971-1972 Models.   It does however have alot of the bells and whistles that the SS's came with for that year.   I've had several people come by and look the car over, and all have concluded its the real deal.   The owner at the dealership didn't have too much info on the engine, trans.   So from what I have discovered so far,  The Modifications go like this.

To all the V8 lovers

I am a V8 guy at heart,  I love my DSM, but there isn't words to describe the rumble of a built V8.   My dad owned three Chevelle's in his time.    He had a 1967 SS 396, a 1969 SS 396 & a 1972 454SS.   I plan to get one of these cars one day to follow in my dad's foot steps.   My dad is now passed since 11/2003.    REST IN PEACE. Daddy.   I LOVE YOU!!!
