'71 Chevelle SS/4-sp Project, Not Terrible
Sure, it's a bit of a mess, but I have seen WAY worse for $6k. Has to be a Super Sport, at least it's highly likely to be, given the round dash, bench seat 4-speed hump, cowl hood with orig paint, orig SS emblems, F41 front stabilizer bar, etc.
Cool project and there aren't a lot of halfway decent Chevelles available anymore at this price point. Link to 1971 Chevelle auction 136371K104657 |

Be interesting to know where it came from, because the severity of rust sure didn't happen in Austin, TX...

The L on the trim tag is a good indicator that the car is a real SS and the B next to it is for black D88 stripes.

And there we have the answer to the extensive rust. I'm willing to bet there is more we can't see. If it could be verified as an original BB, it would, probably, be worth restoring, but to me, the hood looks more white than faded green. Not sure it's original to the car. Yep, need lots more pics and info to decide what it was. Casting date and assembly code off the rear axle would be a good start.

Any idea which engine it came with? If its got a 10 bolt that would only leave one option a 350/245hp L65. Am I correct?

If it’s a real SS and the 10-bolt is original to the car, then yes it could only be an L65. The only problem I see is what looks to be an original paint ZL2 hood which was only available on big block optioned SS cars in 1971-72 so it was either added a long time ago or the 12-bolt was swapped out. I wonder if it has a BB steering shaft, the pic doesn’t show the important end.

Not that it means much but aren't those small block power steering pump brackets ?
