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.
Recent work includes brake service with new pads, and safety check.
