Vehicle Description
Having a 427 cubic-inch V8 in your Chevelle instantly makes you a
muscle car hero. However, this 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Restomod
takes it far above the rest. That's because the motor is a modern
fuel-injected LS7 427 V8. Plus, this has been upgraded everywhere
that counts, including the suspension, transmission, and comfy A/C
interior. So dig into the details on a hardtop stunner that has
less than 550 miles on the build.
If you're going to have a superior muscle car restomod, it pays to
start with arguably the best hardtop icon, the '72 Chevelle. After
all, it was the final year for this generation, and it was the
final time we got the beefy front end, fastback profile, and a true
pillarless hardtop. Because this is a true performance juggernaut,
it needs the kind of black pant that looks like it slips through
the midnight air. Now add the best speedy details, like hood pins,
big exhaust tips, Super Sport badging, and high contrast racing
stripes. This was the final year for the bumpers to truly hug the
car's form, and so you want the chrome shining like it does here.
Plus, a good investment in factory-style brightwork goes nicely
with the upgrade to modern polished alloys. And the 15/20 inch
front rear stagger gives this an awesome forward-leaning stance
that signals there is some serious power within.
Just like the exterior, the interior keeps its classic style while
giving you an upgraded experience. This starts with the seats. Both
the front buckets and rear bench have a factory-style pattern. But
they have been restored with fresh padding and a cool red and black
two-tone that goes with the custom coupe's aggressive nature. The
door panels, carpeting, headliner, and dash are all done in a deep
black for a terrific look. You have nice comfort upgrades to keep
everyone happy, like a retro-style AM/FM digital tuner, custom cup
holder center console, and cold-blowing R134a air conditioning. But
the best treats are reserved just for the driver. You have a
wood-rimmed sports steering wheel on a tilt column, power steering,
a B&M shifter, and a Dakota Digital gauge package with large
speedo and tach.
You're going to want to lift the hood on this one everywhere you
park. After all, jaws will drop as people peek inside and see the
modern 7.0-liter (427 cubic-inch) fuel-injected LS7 V8. Oh yes,
this is the kind of powerhouse that made a modern Z/28 Camaro king
of the streets, and they are known to make 500+ horsepower right
out of the box! And this one was upgraded further with BTR Stage
III camshaft, BTR chromoly pushrods, ported cylinder head, ARP
bolts, five-angle valve job, ported LS7 intake/throttle body, and
headers feeding the MagnaFlow dual exhaust. This is a serious setup
that not only looks fresh, but also it was done with a major eye
for quality. That's why it has supporting pieces like the engine
computer, GM performance LS7 wiring harness, Holley LS accessory
drive belt system, Griffin aluminum radiator, and a performance
timing chain. The 4L80E four-speed automatic transmission was built
to handle this LS power, and even has a 3000-3200 RPM stall. It
feeds a custom driveshaft on its way to the stout 12-bolt rear end.
The suspension is a new front tubular A-arm setup, upgraded arms in
the rear w/sway bar, QA1 coilovers, and four-wheel power disc
brakes.
Complete with build receipts and maintenance records, this is a
total performance build wrapped around a muscle car icon. This
chevelle also comes with a brand new set of BF Goodrich 235/60R15
tires and new 15" wheels still in the box! So if you want the
ultimate restomod, call today!
