Jim - I'd love any more info you have on the car you are describing. It sounds similar to my Monaco Orange 70.

Although you're saying this white and blue car was built "with SS equipment," the options you listed could be installed on any 70-72 Chevelle since they were not SS-specific. This includes the 402 BB, although it would have been the 330hp LS3 in a non-SS car rather than the 350hp L34 (in 1970). In 71 and 72 there was a single 402 engine (the LS3) for both SS and non-SS cars.

Here's the build sheet from my base model 70 Chevelle with those same options you listed. Interestingly, it was built at the end of June 1970 - right around the time you say this 71 was built:
