This is a drop-dead gorgeous 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle SS presented
in its rare, original livery of Mulsanne Blue over White vinyl
buckets.� This original SS car was built in Arlington, TX and
shipped to its original owner in Colorado.� There is was driven and
cared for until 1990.� Surprisingly, the first owner of this car
only put on about 99,000 miles in those 18 years.� This is a true
SS featuring a 4 speed manual transmission and factory A/C.
When the 2nd owner purchased the car, he drove it for a short time
and then gave it a light refresh before taking it out to car shows
for the next 15 years.� Throughout this time, the 2nd owner only
put about 4,000 miles on the car.� It was at this time the 2nd
owner made the quantum leap to create the dream machine that he
always wanted.� That dream and about $40,000 got us to the
beautiful car that we have today.� There is a saying in the
restoration industry.... "to have a fantastic restored car; you
need to start with a fantastic example of a solid and well-cared
for car".� That is exactly what we have here.� This SS was still a
fantastic, and solid example of an American Muscle Car in 2005 when
it started it's restoration; and the end result shows.� This is an
outstanding automobile that can be driven daily while making some
of the pickiest critics quiet.
The powerplant of this Chevy features a correct, date-coded 402 big
block that performs exactly the way you expect.� This engine has
been tuned perfectly, and performs flawlessly.� The motor is backed
by a 4 speed manual transmission to allow the driver to run through
the gears just like the old days.� The 4 speed shifts perfectly
with no grinding or popping out of gear.� All this power is
transferred to a 12-bolt rear end featuring a set of 3:55 posi rear
gears.�
The exterior of the car is absolutely beautiful featuring
professionally laid Mulsanne Blue base coat clear coat over laser
straight sheet metal and painted on SS stripes.� The white vinyl
top is in excellent condition, and perfectly compliments the
interior and stripe package.� There are no surprises or
disapointments; the gaps are correct - the lines are straight - the
paint is beautiful.� To finish off the big block look; the previous
owner added a correct hood with working cowl induction set up.
The interior is 100% consistent with the exterior when talking
about condition and WOW factor.� The white bucket seats and center
console are in beautiful shape as well as the carpet, headliner,
dash and door panels.� Once again.... no excuses or
disapointments.� The full gauge package works as it should, and the
factory A/C blows cold.� Even all the lights inside the engine
compartment and trunk are in perfect working order.
The rest of the car remains as it came from the factory but
beautifully restored.� These options include:
Power Front Disk Brakes
Power Steering
Correct 15" SS Wheels
Cold Factory A/C
SS Gauges with Tach
Factory AM/FM Radio
Factory Tilt Wheel
Factory Buckets and Console
Lighting Package
White Vinyl Top
Cars like this don't come around every day.� This is NOT a "slapped
together", "shade-tree mechanic built", "rush job", or "previous
rust-bucket" type of car.� One test drive will tell you this was,
and is, a quality classic car that has been very well maintained
and loved it's entire life.
