Start talking muscle cars and the second generation Chevelle is
almost always directly referenced. Offered in trim levels ranging
from stripped economy champ to luxury pavement pounder, Chevrolet
produced Chevelle's that were capable of satisfying nearly every
buyer and every wallet. That legacy of universal appeal has
continued throughout the last 50 years, giving fans and enthusiasts
the parts and inspiration to create their own unique hot rods. Take
this '72 454 LS5 Super Sport for example. Restored with only top
shelf products the drivetrain and interior components were
professionally reconditioned during an extensive, ground-up
restoration, this tastefully rebuilt Chevy turns a traditionally
appealing platform into a time machine bringing you back to the
summer of 1972 . If you're ready to hit the streets in a fresh,
head-turning muscle car, check out this stunning 1972 Chevrolet
Chevelle SS 454 LS5!
Originally manufactured in Arlington, Texas this solid SS 454 spent
most of its life roaming The Land of the Free and the Home of the
Brave. Recently, within the last 10 years the car underwent a
detailed, rotisserie restoration that involved widespread
refurbishment of every panel. Once countless hours were spent
making sure the mix of OEM sheet metal was aligned to
better-than-factory fit, bright Cranberry Red base was applied with
black rally stripes, covered in PPG clear. Presently, this coupe
carries an exceptionally clean finish on top of a high quality
restoration that's simply stunning.
An obviously solid road warrior and one of the most remarkable
rides to ever hit the streets, this red-hot Chevy is a picturesque
magazine centerfold that's just waiting to be discovered. At the
front of its body, halogen headlights float between a black grille,
bright parking lamps and a fresh chrome bumper. At the top of that
grille, a familiar cowl induction hood founds new glass beneath
polished stainless trim and OEM fitted sport mirrors. At the sides
of the lower fenders, "SS" emblems and "454" scripts hint at the
true nature of the big block's personality, while traditional door
handles perfectly complement straight fender lips and factory-spec
marker lamps. And at the back of the car, a second fresh bumper
hangs traditional taillights between a third "SS" emblem and bright
stainless exhaust tips.
Glance under this Chevelle's sculpted hood and you'll find a 454
cubic inch LS5 big block V8 that boost an estimated 270+
horsepower. At the top of the mill, the stock air cleaner feeds
oxygen to a 750cfm Demon 4-barrel that's centered on an Edelbrock
intake. That air/fuel mixture travels into stock heads, which hang
cast Chevrolet-branded valve covers over forged rods, forged
pistons, a forged crank with a fully balanced rotating assembly. At
the bottom of those heads, coated Hooker Competition headers send
spent gases into high performance, true-dual pipes. At the top rear
section of the manifold, an aftermarket HEI distributor shoots
spark through 8mm ignition wires. In front of those wires, an
attractive Stock pulley system spins a longneck casted water pump
between a Ac Delco alternator and stock OEM power steering
components. In front of those components, a brass-cored radiator
makes good use of the stock 7 blade clutch fan. Aesthetically, the
spotless engine bay's selective combination of dim and vivid paint
creates an alluring palette that attracts gearheads in the same
manner flowers attract bees. And everything, from the OEM grade 8
bolts and the stock AC Delco brake booster to the OE fuel lines and
OE spec radiator support, has been professionally installed and
thoughtfully detailed.
What good would a killer big block engine be without a tough
drivetrain and solid suspension to back it up? Behind the car's
thundering 454, a rugged Muncie M22 4-speed twists between a heavy
duty clutch and proven true balanced steel driveshaft. Torque flows
to a familiar GM 12-bolt that's fitted with 3.55 gears, a stock GM
posi-traction differential, That road-ready drivetrain rolls on a
fully rebuilt double A-arm/4-bar chassis, which features Stock OEM
control arms, sway bars and new reproduction shocks. Spent gases
escape through 2.5-inch exhaust, which, thanks to turbo Street
mufflers sound simply amazing. At the corners of the car, fully
restored 5 spoke GM rally wheels wrapped in new BFG white letter
radial tires.
Naturally, this Super Sport's comfortable interior is a masterful
blend of both form and function. The Vinyl-wrapped Bench seat is
restoration-fresh attire that, along with factory door panels,
present clean and crisp. Directly adjacent of the bench seat an
etched 4 speed shifter ball which tops a long Muncie shifter. Below
that shifter, rich carpet floats monochromatic, "SS" branded floor
mats under stock kick panels and foot pedals. At the front of that
carpet, an "SS" branded dash frames a stock AM head unit and OEM
Classic Dash instrument panel incasing all featured gauges. In
front of the driver, a comfort grip SS embossed steering wheel
spins a thick wrapped rim around a stock tilt column with a reverse
lock out ignition switch. And behind the passengers, a
restoration-fresh trunk features weather-free spatter paint.
With its awesome motor, incredible body and pristine interior, this
killer Chevelle SS 454 LS5 is an attractive, well-done muscle car.
And best of all, being a late second generation Chevelle, its
likeness isn't nearly as prevalent as Chevy's more famous, and too
often duplicated, '66-'70 offerings. If you're in the market for a
no excuses true SS 454 LS5 Chevelle with an unbeatable combination
of style and performance, this Chevy is right for you!
