You know that feeling when you go to the gym every day for like, three weeks or something? Then you wake up to go one morning, and it's snowing, so you say, "Well, I'll just skip one day," and next thing you know, it's four weeks later and you're sitting on your couch with a bag of potato chips, remembering the muscle you used to have and thinking, "Hmm..maybe someday I'll get it back?" Well, my friend, then you would be the human equivalent of the Chevelle SS. After a few great years, the SS was waylaid not by snow but by ever-growing restrictions on emissions, gas type, and engine size. The 1973 Chevelle SS would be the last of its kind, although the non-SuperSport Chevelle would continue to be produced until 1977. In its final year, only 2,500 SS 454's were sold. The anemic base engine was now a 350-ci V8 145 horsepower L65. Still fair by today's standards, this was nothing compared to the muscle the model had seen (kind of like you sitting on the couch, now reaching for a beer, looking at your bicep and thinking, "See? It's still there!") The SS 454 engine was still fairly respectable at 245 horsepower.

You have to be a product of the 50's or 60's to really appreciate this car. It's considered a small car, by muscle car fans from that era; however, it's a 350 small block with a turbo hydramatic 400 transmission. Hw can you go wrong? It's simple to work on. I swapped the timing chain in 30 mins (yes, I said chain!) after it reached 270,000 miles. It's a great ride.

The 73 Chevelle SS 454 was the last for two things, it was the last year for the SS package and the last year they put the 454 in Chevelle's. This Chevelle you are looking at is one of 1600 ever made in 73 with the 454 and if they have a 4 speed manual they are one of 600.

Excellent car. I have owned my SS since June of 1973. It has been a very dependable car, has left me stranded only once in 37 years. Gas mileage 18 on trips. The kids at school love my car. Many of them have asked to buy it from me since the late 70s. The car is medium blue with the SS stripes and black vinyl top. The car is very much fun to drive as it turns heads when seen.

Owned my '73 SS from '79 - '85; 127k - 285k. A well balanced car at 140 w/ better rubber & bigger wheels; L60/15 on Z28 steel. No cash winning greyhound she be off the line w/ 273z, but had embarraseed many 1/4 cars over a buck w/ a never reaching horizon for finish lines. Swapped the header panel to the heavier steel-backed urethane one-piece Laguna, added Z28 stoneguards onto the wheel openings & the center section of the Z'z rear spoiler onto the trunk lid (nascar style); stealthed all of her Chevrolet identities except for the SS emblems & dressed her in Dupont 2000S Guards Red. A Vette L82 w/ 40k reaspired my SS in the Year of Belushi + headers & sidepipes. She was a fun ride at nearly 21 mpg, thanx to them 273z!
