Vehicle Description
Sleek, powerful, and iconic, this 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle SS
Tribute gets it right. There have been the right investments in the
V8 power, suspension, overdrive transmission, interior, SS style
upgrades, and metallic paint to amplify everything you love about
this hardtop icon.
This coupe is coming off of long term ownership with the consignor
owning this since 1981. The was even a complete restoration done in
2015, and only about 14k miles since then. That's how you get a
well-kept car with some cool upgrades. For example, the green paint
has a distinctive style all on its own. But when you add sunlight
into the mix, the metallic element really pops for the kind of
radiance you notice from across a parking lot. This shine also lets
the light roll evenly over the crisp body and letting people know
this is a thoroughly restored coupe. And so it gives the exact
right first impression you want on a car like this: something
that's quite classic but also has had a ton of more recent
investments. Contrasting the deep green glow are the speedy dual
racing stripes. And the SS-style blackout grille and tinted windows
coordinate for some added intimidation. In fact, this gets the
right Super Sport attitude with upgrades like the cowl hood, hood
pins, full SS badging, and wide dual exhaust tips. Plus, those
15-inch American Racing Torque Thrust wheels add to the performance
style, and at the same time, they are part of the full brightwork
package that includes the full trim and excellent chrome
bumpers.
The tan interior makes for a tasteful color combo against the deep
green exterior. The seats, door panels, and headliner are
particularly nice in this restore coupe. When they worked on this
coupe there was a nice effort to keep the factory pieces in place
while still adding the right upgrades for a great driver. For
example, the Delco AM/FM radio is still in the dash, but cleanly
mounted below it is a modern AM/FM/CD stereo with USB input for the
best in modern driving music. This was born a factory A/C car, and
so the controls are still in the dash. But now the updated R134a
system works from controls mounted in the glovebox (it will need a
recharge/service before ideally blowing cold again.) You get the
classic high-back bucket seat, and the driver's experience is now
upgraded with a B&M floor sifter, wood-rimmed steering wheel,
an AutoMeter auxiliary readout trio, and a large column-mounted
tach.
Under the hood is 350 cubic-inch V8. It has an upgraded appearance
with polished components and flame-kissed valve covers. But what
you'll really love is the added performance of the Edelbrock
four-barrel carburetor, Weiand aluminum intake, and long tube
headers feeding the X-pipe dual exhaust. This even has good
supporting components, like an MSD ignition and an aluminum
radiator. It's a strong all-around package, and so you get to take
full advantage of it with the upgrade to a 700R4 four-speed
automatic transmission with highway-ready overdrive. The
undercarriage photos show you upgraded components like fresher
bushings and the SS-style reinforced rear suspension arms w/sway
bar. And you also have power steering and upgraded four-wheel power
disc brakes.
The sale comes complete with owner's manual, maintenance records,
and restoration photos. This is the long-term loved Chevy hardtop
that was built to really enjoy the drive and look great everywhere
you arrive. Call today!!!
