Vehicle Description
There's just something about a coupe that can carry the family and
also looks so cool with its sleek hardtop design. So to find this
1972 Chevrolet Chevelle with a performance-built 350 V8, overdrive
transmission, glossy red paint, and an A/C interior means this is
the best of everything in one classic.
A bright red Chevelle is always a source of pride, but this one is
truly a cut above. Bodywork is excellent all around, with great
gaps and a lot of attention paid to getting those iconic black SS
stripes correct. Then there's the cowl induction hood, blacked out
grille, hood pins, and all that correct SS badging. It's built
before new bumper laws so those big chrome kings fit much snugger
to the body, and the rear still houses the taillights in a very
cool way. All of this is just a great representation of factory
features, but what let's people know there's something extra
special about this coupe are the large 17-inch American Racing
alloys that fill the wheel wells.
The interior was originally tan, but that wouldn't work on a mean
machine like this. As a result the bucket seats, center console,
door panels, carpeting, and dash have all been switched over to a
correct SS interior. This kind of investment gives the interior a
far fresher feeling than anything that came out of the 70s. Your
right hand will love the iconic horseshoe shifter, and your left
one grabs the factory-correct two-spoke steering wheel. Beyond that
is a proper round gauge package, including a large tach. The stereo
has been upgraded to an AM/FM stereo that keeps the period-correct
knob-style appearance but adds features like an aux input for the
most modern music players. It's the kind of feature that will keep
everyone entertained when this sizeable Chevy is carrying a crowd.
And just to make sure they all stay comfortable, there's modern
R134a air conditioning.
Just like the exterior, you'll be filled with pride when you pop
the hood. That's because a nicely presented small block with tidy,
newer components and flashy valve covers and air cleaner is the
sure sign of investment. But beyond just style, this 350 cubic-inch
V8 has the performance substance of a Holley four-barrel
carburetor, Weiand intake, and Hooker competition headers. You get
a terrific growl out of the dual exhaust, but this full package is
far more than just a pure power machine. The suspension has a new
front sway bar, as well as newer upper and lower control arms.
Plus, power steering, front disc brakes, and a 400R4 four-speed
automatic transmission w/overdrive makes this a great
anytime/anywhere cruiser.
This is the Chevelle is as comfortable running to car shows the
next state over as it is going on the morning commute. That's the
kind of classic you can really enjoy every day. But we only have
one of these up for grabs, so call today!
