1971 Chevelle Production Numbers by Series/Model

The series and engine type (base I6 vs. base V8) are the 12nd & 3rd numbers and the model (body style) are the last two numbers. The first number shown in the 'Produced' column is domestic production, the second number is export production, and the total production is the last number.

The Series/Model columns correspond to VIN series & body style and not Fisher Body plate Style numbers.

Notes/Caveats:
(1) The total production according to the reported last VIN of each assembly plant totals 540,176 and does not match figures above.
(2) 19,293 Malibu/El Camino (Custom) series was equipped with RPO Z15 SS option and, of these, 9,502 were equipped with SS454 equipment.
(3) 6,727 standard Chevelles were ordered with RPO YF3 Heavy Chevy option.
(4) 1,919 Monte Carlos were ordered with RPO Z20 SS454 option.
(5) n/a indicates the series/model was not available with that engine type. A big decrease in 6-cyl engine availability is apparent for this year.

VIN search disclaimer This Chevelle website is not designed to help you locate a car you owned 20-30 years ago. To my knowledge there is no known database of a car's VIN and its past/current owner. Such a public database would be a gross invasion of privacy. Law enforment agencies can run a VIN in most cases to find the current owner but can only do so legally as part of any police action such as a suspected stolen car or one that has been in an accident to verify the owner. They CANNOT, legally, do a VIN search for personal reasons such as a favor to a friend.
