Vehicle Description
An iconic 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle in a correct and unique color
combo, with a performance-built big block under the hood. Need we
say more? If you're looking for a brutally fast piece of American
muscle that's both nicely finished and within budget, then this SS
should be the end of your search.
Sure, a brilliant respray of the factory-correct Mohave Gold gets a
lot of the credit, but even up close it lives up to the promises
made by the first impression. Bodywork is excellent all around,
with great gaps and a lot of attention paid to getting those iconic
black SS stripes painted on correctly. Then there's the cowl
induction hood, blacked out grille, and all that correct SS
badging. It's built before new bumper laws so those big chrome
kings fit much snugger to the body, and the rear one still houses
the taillights in a very cool way. And of course it won't be a
correct SS without boldly resting on the proper wheels.
One look inside, and you get more reminders of why this car is a
cut-above. The seats and carpeting look like they've been replaced
recently, so this one looks fresh from '72. Black buckets flanking
a center console make this Chevelle a lot more desirable than most
of its bench seat siblings. It leaves room for the iconic horseshoe
shifter that makes this coupe really feel like a Super Sport
should. It has all the right features for the driver, including the
three-spoke sports steering wheel, and the proper round gage dash
that has a tach, and working clock. There's comfort features like
the heat/defrost and a newer AM/FM digital tuner that fits in the
original knob-style radio opening. It even has an auxiliary input
to play modern tunes, but we already know what your favorite
soundtrack will be. It's irresistible just roll down all the
windows on this pillarless hardtop and listen to the rumble of the
dual exhaust.
You could still get a big block from the factory in 1972, but
nothing that ran like this one. A proper orange block 454
cubic-inch V8 was stuffed between the fenders and given plenty of
performance upgrades. This includes an Edelbrock four-barrel
carburetor, Edelbrock Performer intake, and long tube headers. A
snarky dual exhaust system gives the big block a baritone rumble.
Plus, with a TH400 three-speed automatic and a 12-bolt rear end,
you know you can reliably back up this Chevelle's bark with serious
bite. But when it comes to just being a nice cruiser, this one has
it well in hand, too. Features like the power steering, front disc
brakes, and modern BF Goodrich rubber at each corner make this a
nice anytime ride.
This Chevelle does a lot of things right, and looks great doing
them. It even comes with the owner's manual to show off at the car
shows. So you know you've got a cared-for coupe that can still
scare the lesser cars on a Saturday night. Call today!!
