1971 Chevrolet Chevelle Hardtop

• Dark green paint with white stripes and a white vinyl top is glossy and straight, with bright chrome and SS 454 badging — no paint or body budget from these photos.
• Much of the gallery is documentation display boards and build photos rather than the car itself, but the car photos that are there are thorough — judge only those real car photos.
• The green interior — buckets, rear bench, door cards, carpets and headliner — looks exceptionally clean and original in feel — no interior spend showing.
• The engine bay is concours-tidy with a correctly detailed orange big-block, black air cleaner and spotless inner wings — no engine-bay spend showing.
• On the lift the underside is strikingly clean, with black floors, fresh exhaust and an orange sump and steering gear showing no road grime — no underside spend showing.
• BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires on correct SS wheels look fresh, though no trunk photos are shown — trunk condition can't be judged from these pictures.

Money: at $98,000 the photos support the ask — the underside, bay and cabin look restored to a very high standard, with the paperwork boards reinforcing rather than substituting for condition.
