Vehicle Description
You're looking at the rare opportunity to own the end of an era.
This 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu convertible represents the last
of the Chevelle droptops. Less than 5,000 were produced in this
final year, so it's great to see such a significant and rare car
treated properly and given all the right attention - from the
custom color to the A/C interior.
Redfire Metallic is the name of the paint that's grabbing all your
attention. This is a recent professional application, and so it
really knows how to radiate the moment the sunlight finds it. And
that's exactly what you want on a sunshine-friendly classic
convertible. And it's this upper class distinction that lets you
enjoy the exceptionally straight sheetmetal with gentle curves,
well-defined creases, and flowing front hood. A car this solid and
nice deserves the best brightwork, so the Rally wheel package looks
terrific and the chrome bumpers are freshly re-dipped. And speaking
of the bumpers, 1972 was also the last year before federal
standards took over, so we appreciate how artfully they're
integrated into the overall design.
If you like the way the black roof looks against the darker red
paint, then with the flip of a switch, you'll love powering it down
to reveal the full black interior. These might have been the
midsize Chevys back in the day, but there's plenty of room for you
to carry all your friends and family with the two rows of bench
seats. Plus, everyone can even stay happy on the long trips thanks
to the upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo and cold-blowing R134a air
conditioning. But a convertible like this is really about the
driver. That's why the dash insert was specially painted an
exterior-matching red, and the factory dual-spoke steering wheel
gives you a commanding view of the old-school speedometer that's as
long as the horizon.
Under the hood is a 350 cubic-inch crate V8. It looks nice with
crisp components and plenty of polish coming off the air topper,
intake, and Chevrolet valve covers. More than just look upgraded,
they added the right power with a large Edelbrock four-barrel
carburetor and an Edelbrock intake feeding the V8. This means good
power going down the road and a great sound out of the dual
exhaust. And with power steering, power brakes, and a three-speed
automatic transmission, we know you're really going to enjoy
open-top motoring to the fullest.
This convertible spent nearly the last three decades under the same
local owner. It's the kind of classic that has been cared for
exactly how you'd want it to be, and we understand exactly why.
This is the last of the droptop Chevelles. So don't let it slip
away, call today!
