This 1971 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS coupe is finished in Lime Green over green cloth and powered by a 454ci V8 paired with a Turbo 400 three-speed automatic transmission. Features include a dark green vinyl roof, power steering and brakes, air conditioning, and the SS 454 Package which added Automatic Leveling Suspension, heavy-duty springs, and Rally wheels. The car was delivered new to Les Shellabarger Chevrolet of Grand Junction, Colorado, and was acquired by the seller in 2007.
The car is finished in Lime Green with a dark green vinyl roof. Exterior details include SS badging, chrome trim, and a dual exhaust system. Flaws include dings on the passenger side, a crease in the left quarter panel, corrosion on several body panels, and separating vinyl on the roof.
15″ Rally wheels are wrapped in Michelin XW4 whitewall tires, and a matching spare is housed in the trunk along with a factory jack and tool kit. The SS featured Automatic Level Control suspension, power steering, and power-assisted front disc brakes.
The cabin is upholstered in green cloth and features woodgrain trim. The seller notes there are holes in the headliner and that the air conditioning, heater, and speakers do not work. The radio was reportedly inspected and cleaned in 2020.
Instrumentation includes a 7k-rpm tachometer and a 120-mph speedometer as well as an optional auxiliary gauge package. The five-digit odometer indicates 65k miles.
The 454ci Turbo-Jet V8 was factory rated at 365 horsepower and is paired with a Turbo 400 three-speed automatic transmission and 3.31:1 rear axle gearing. The starter was reportedly rebuilt during current ownership and an oil change was performed in 2020.
