Vehicle Description
What looks better than a classic Chevelle? A black one. Garage Kept
Motors is pleased to offer this super clean and fully restored 1972
Chevrolet Chevelle SS for consideration. The car was born at the
Van Nuys, California plant as a Malibu and eventually moved to Utah
where our client acquired it in 2006. The car came to Michigan in
2010 where it was professionally restored by Bush Autoworks of
Comstock Park. Terry Gardner did the engine build to a level of
perfection. No expense was spared and now the car looks mean, and
drives the same.
This car was finished in Black, and it shows no imperfections,
which is a high order with black paint. It is a mirror finish and
beautiful from every angle. SS stripes were added in Graphite Gray,
which really makes the body lines pop. Kudos to Bush Autoworks for
a fantastic job on the body. Mr. Gardner was no slouch with the
drivetrain either, dropping in a 496ci/520hp Big Block V8 mated to
a 700R4 Automatic transmission with 3.73 rear gears. The motor has
Jim Valako race heads, Crower crank and rods, and aluminum
radiator. It runs with Brad Penn oil and was just serviced with an
old change and grease job. It also has power steering, power
brakes, and front disc brakes. The car is outfitted with Classic
Air that blows ice cold. The wheels and tires are also new and
really set this Chevy apart. It is extremely clean from top to
bottom and you won't find a corner cut in the body and engine
build.
Black cars are hard to pull of well. Every guy with a paint booth
simply cannot do it. But this car was done right. Its one of the
cleanest we've ever seen and you won't be disappointed. Comes with
all receipts and records too. Be sure to check out all the photos
and video on our main website: Garage Kept Motors. Call if
interested or e-mail with any questions. Thank you for looking.
