When I was a freshman in high school, my neighbor ordered a '71 Chevelle SS convertible as a gift from his parents for graduation from high school that year. He had to order the car with a bench seat, column shift and no stripes at all to secure reasonable insurance on it. It was a 454 and a neat car. On occasion he'd give me, a drooling freshman, a ride to school in his SS 454. I remember it had an AM 8 track. Not an AM/FM 8 track, just an AM 8 track. The car was absolute trash in about three years and I'm sure it's long gone now.
