For Sale: 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle in Mesa, Arizona

This 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu SS tribute has a distinctly sporty exterior, a cool-looking interior, four-on-the-floor, and a thundering big block. It makes for an all-around attractive muscle car hardtop.


Hugger Orange is an iconic Chevy color with a vibrant style, and it has a bold presentation from an upgrade later in life. And the professional application means there is a gloss that loves to let the light dance across the sheet metal. This one embraces its extra boldness with the dual racing stripes painted on top and cleared over for a quality total finish. Plus, you've got the Super Sport upgrades like the blackout grille, cowl hood, SS badging, dual exhaust tips, and later-style SS mags wheels for a proper performance appearance. And this one also gets the fundamentals right with good panels, pliable rubber seals, and a shining complete brightwork setup - including the form-hugging chrome bumpers.


The exterior white stripes were also an introduction to the crisp white vinyl interior. It's a distinct style that will have you rolling down all the windows on this pillarless hardtop just to show it off more. But what this one really wants to make sure is that you are comfortable driving this whenever you like. That's why you also have the high-back front bucket seats, a center console in-between, Bosch auxiliary gauges, a grippy SS steering wheel, and an iconic Hurst floor shifter. The heater controls even tell us this was likely a factory A/C car (it will need components and serving to restore the function.) There are details you may want to address, like adding a great retro-style radio. But overall, you can see the appeal of a driver-oriented muscle car with a distinctly colored interior.


Under the hood is serious big block power that has a good look of a clean and solid package. They took time to make this a well-coordinated package with clean black inner fenders matching the valve covers and air grabber. There are also shining supporting components like a chrome brake booster, polished alternator, steel braided fuel lines, upgraded pulleys, and an aluminum radiator with electric fan. This 454 cubic-inch V8 has been enhanced with the right performance features, like a Holley Street Avenger four-barrel carburetor, an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, and Patriot long tube headers feeding the growling dual exhaust. The four-speed manual transmission gives you full control over the power and its rumbling soundtrack. And this feels solid on the road thanks to power steering, power brakes with front discs, and wide modern tires.


This is the Chevelle SS tribute with the look, features, and power you love. So don't let this hardtop slip away, call today!
