1971 Chevelle SS LS3 - 38,000 Actual Mile Survivor

[Mr.Nickey Nova]

I too saw this Chevelle at the Mecum auction,very nice car.The only thing i saw that didn't look correct was the outer corners of the stripes.These stripes have pointed outer corners instead of them being rounded.Either they were touched up at some point or the stripes added to a stripe delete car. I liked this car a lot,congrats on your purchase.

I bet those stripes were added on the car as it was standard to get no stripes on all the SS cars unless you paid extra for the Stripes or ordered Cowl Induction which stripes were added for free with the CI option.
The build sheet will verify if the car came with optional stripes or not.
Let us know what the build sheet has.

These cars came standard with no stripes so you can not call them &quot;Stripe Delete&quot;. You can say &quot;Stripe Delete&quot; when you ordered Cowl Induction and then asked your dealer to DELETE the stripes from your cowl induction option as stripes came standard with Cowl Induction optioned cars.

Thanks for the info Dan,just thought that the stripes were part of the SS package when ordered like the rally stripes on the Z/28's. A 70-72 Chevelle just doesn't look the same without the stripes.
