Vehicle Description
Time to think about your dream big block muscle car. The one that
has been restored to the level that wins you a trunk full of
awards, and as you take them home, you have all the comforts you
could ever dream of wanting. Now open your eyes to your true dream
machine, this 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle SS.
It took four years to restore this coupe to this caliber... and the
moment you lay eyes on it, you'll know that's true. There are black
cars, and then there is this slippery shade of midnight that has
been expertly applied to look like every surface is made of liquid.
Oh yeah, there was a small fortune spent on paint alone, but
there's much more at work here. There has also been serious time
with the sheetmetal. The body has been sanded and blocked
professionally to provide the best canvas for this black. The
result gives you some of the best uniform gaps ever seen, and a
such an even shine that the sunlight can't expose where one panel
ends and another begins. And a on a body like this, you know they
go the details right, too. The bumpers have the mirror-like quality
of fresh chrome, and they hug the design lines with precision. All
the correct SS components are there like the blacked-out grille,
hood pins, correct badging, and cowl induction hood. But custom
touches like the 18-inch black and chrome American Racing alloys
instantly let the world know there's more to this Chevelle than
just a top-quality restoration.
Stepping inside is like discovering a time capsule. Everywhere you
look is correct from 1972 - from the bucket seats, to the center
console, to the door panels, to the carpet, to the dash. It's all
deep, dark, and fresh. That tells us no expense was spared making
sure that anything that didn't feel brand new was replaced with the
correct material. Even the glass and rubber were replaced to give
this coupe a true superior feeling. But more than just great
materials, you'll love how it's a true muscle car. You slip behind
the two-spoke SS steering wheel. It gives you a clear view to the
desirable U14 gauge cluster that upgraded you for all round dials,
including a large tach, speedo, and clock - all working perfectly.
And of course, we all love the iconic horseshoe shifter. But as you
look around this period-correct execution, you're going to notice
some subtle but desirable upgrades. For example, the radio looks
like a correct knob-style AM/FM unit, but closer inspection will
show it to be a more modern digital tuner with an aux input for
your iPod. That goes great with the custom speaker system. Plus,
the power windows mean you never have to leave the driver's seat
when you feel like rolling all the windows down and showing off the
cool pillarless hardtop profile. And since the air conditioning is
running modern R134a, you can do it all without breaking a
sweat.
Those who know Chevelles are familiar with the 402 cubic-inch V8.
Chevy would advertise it in other displacements, but this big block
has the right home under the hood - it's even date code correct to
'72. While the block is correct, the moment you lay eyes on the
motor, the Chevy performance valve covers and tidy presentation let
you know instantly that there has been a lot of money invested in
adding go-fast goodies. It starts with an Avenger electronic fuel
injection system, and added to this are features like a Holley
intake, MSD ignition, polished aluminum pulleys w/serpentine belt
drive, and headers that feed a X-pipe dual exhaust. But don't just
listen to this thunderous V8; follow its path in the undercarriage
photos. There you will see the telltale signs of a recent built
(less than 1,100 miles since completion) that has upgraded all the
major suspension components. The 4L60E four-speed automatic
transmission has a 1,200 hp input housing to handle all the extra
power, but there's also another side to this Chevelle. With the
ability to cruise in overdrive comfort, the addition of power
steering and a performance four-wheel disc brake package, and
upgraded tubular A-arm suspension, this street-eating Chevelle is
also a comfortable way to eat up the miles.
Complete with over $60k in build receipts and owner's manual, this
is a muscle car that makes no compromises for performance and
comfort. That's why it's your dream machine that can be a
reality...but only if you're quick enough. Call now!!!
