This car is originally believed to have been ordered and sold new by Bill Rutland Chevrolet in Florence, South Carolina. It appears to have been in South Carolina its whole life.

The 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle factory SS 454 is just as formidable as it's counterpart from a year earlier, with updated sharper and sleeker styling. This beautiful example sports a 454C.I. V8 engine NOM under the hood paired to a strong Turbo-Hydramatic 400 automatic transmission and a 12-bolt rear end, giving this stunning muscle machine plenty of power to smoke just about anything that dares to challenge it at a stoplight. Other features on this Chevelle include power front disc brakes, power steering, factory air conditioning, and the desirable U14 gauge package.

The exterior was an evolution of the much-loved 1970 design with a more squared-off front end with a change from quad headlamps with a bumper integrated turn signal to a single lamp on each side with a turn signal and side reflector combination. The rear was changed as well to a somewhat Corvette-like quad round taillight design with more chrome and a larger SS logo.

The exterior on this Super Sport has been re-sprayed some years ago in bold Cranberry Red accented by black D88 sport stripes and the 5-spoke Cragar Chrome Special Sport wheels. The interior in covered in smooth black vinyl and features front bucket seats and a center console that houses the legendary ""Horseshoe"" shifter. This Chevelle looks to have been taken care of by its former owners; the bottom is clean and original, the pinch welds are good, and the steering rack & front suspension looks to have been recently rebuilt. The rear quarter panel on thepassenger side has some rust in it (see pixs). Overall, this 1971 Chevelle FACTORY SS 454 would make an excellent classic muscle car that you could have fun and make memories with for years to come. Makes a perfect weekend driver.

Stephen Becker personally works side by side with the Shelby American Automobile Club registrars and have supported their efforts to keep Carroll Shelby’s automobiles and contribution to the automotive industry alive.

Stephen Becker is one of the most renowned Shelby authorities in the world, announced the introduction of a new certified appraisal program for 1960s Shelby Cobras, GT350s and GT500s. Previously available only to a select group of companies and celebrities, SGB’s invaluable expertise is now available to individuals contemplating the sale or purchase of a vintage Shelby car.

“For years, MOPAR, Corvette and Ford collectors have had access to detailed appraisals from experts in those cars, but enthusiasts have not been able to tap a form program when considering the purchase or sale of a Shelby,” said Becker. “With the expertise, records and access to details of Cobras, GT500s and GT350s available through me, collectors can now have the knowledge they need when making a decision on a Shelby they want to purchase or sell.”

Becker personally has performed evaluations for years and attended key collector car auctions for a small group of corporate clients like insurance companies and manufacturers. In late 2009, Stephen Becker provided an appraisal of 75 cars in the corporate and museum collection of Shelby American. The appraisals were done for Shelby’s insurance company, which requested current values of the extensive collection of significant cars. Other high profile corporate and celebrity clients have included the famous Shelby Parts & Restorations company, as well as leaders in the music and entertainment industry.

“Shelby cars are usually considered blue chip collectibles, but each must be carefully inspected and appraised to understand the true value,” noted Becker. “Not only is it important to ensure a car is a genuine Shelby, it’s critical to understand its history. The value difference between a survivor car with great provenance and a Shelby ‘rebuilt’ from a few major components left over from a wreck can be hundreds of thousands of dollars.”

Stephen’s knowledge and extensive library led to the creation of the Becker Certified Shelby Certification program. A proprietary 25 point inspection and exhaustive research provides the most thorough report on the market for genuine Shelby vehicles.

Over the past decade, Stephen Becker has been retained by key automotive groups, collectors and industry leaders to authenticate and value Shelby vehicles. This led to the creation of a program for individual collectors and enthusiasts. When completed, a client received a detailed report with a history of the vehicle, if available, and documentation to validate the value.

Since 1977, Stephen Becker has been regarded as a leading authority on 1960s era Shelby Cobras, GT350s and GT500s. The company’s expertise and in-depth knowledge have been tapped by clients to purchase, consign and restore original Shelby’s. SGB has represented clients around the world on stage when their Shelby’s crossed the block.

Founder Stephen Becker was one of the youngest people to ever be selected as a finalist for the Ernst & Young/Inc. Magazine “Entrepreneur of the Year” in the early 1990s.
