Vehicle Description
First impressions tell you a lot, and I'm betting you just said to
yourself, "Wow, nice car!" when you saw this slick 1972 Chevelle
SS. Wearing stunning anthracite gray paint and packing a gnarly 454
inch big block, it's every bit as cool in person as it appears in
photos. Let me convince you.
First, that paint is from the Ford Mustang color pallet (sorry
Bowtie fans). It's called Mineral Gray and looks simply awesome on
the slick Chevelle bodywork. Broken up by a black SS stripes that
were painted on and buried under the clear, this Chevelle totally
nails the high-performance look. Bodywork is extremely impressive,
with a lot of time invested in getting the panels flat and straight
before any of that elegant paint went on. With a cowl-induction
hood, blacked-out SS grille, and arguably the best-looking front
end of any Chevelle ever built, the car looks fast just sitting
still. Professionals were hard at work color sanding and buffing
the paint while other guys polished the stainless and installed
fresh weather seals and emblems, all of which sparkle like jewelry.
The quarters and floors are new, so no worries about rust, and you
can tell by the reflections in the paint that the guys who did the
work were real pros.
The black interior is all-new and all-beautiful. New black leather
Scat Procar buckets plus new door panels, carpets, headliner, and
package shelf were fitted, replicating the originals exactly and
continuing the SS theme. A center console sports a slick horseshoe
shifter that's linked to a TH400 3-speed automatic, and a factory
3-spoke steering wheel hangs on a tilt column to make it easy to
get comfortable. This car also carries factory A/C (now with
upgraded modern hardware behind the scenes) and an upgraded 200
wattAM/FM/MP3 stereo, and while those gauges may appear stock,
they're from Dakota Digital and give it a true SS look Everything
you can see or touch is new, making this interior a great place to
spend some time; even the back seat was custom upholstered in
leather to match the custom front buckets! The rust-free trunk
offers a new mat and a full-sized spare with its own cover.
You want muscle? This car delivers in a big way with a 454 cubic
inch V8 that was built for combat. Thanks to an Edelbrock aluminum
intake and 750 CFM carb, MSD ignition, and careful tuning, it
starts instantly and idles with that rumble that means a big Comp
Cams camshaft lives inside. The big block is an easy fit in the
Chevelle's engine bay and it's beautifully dressed, including a set
of restored Mickey Thompson finned valve covers. A big aluminum
radiator with twin electric fans keep it cool, and all that new
equipment means reliability, and with the upgrades, it pulls like a
freight train and offers almost endless reserves of torque. Hooker
long-tube headers dump into a dual exhaust system, so it sounds
potent without being rude, and like I said, that underbody is clean
thanks to the full restoration. A 12-bolt full of 2.76 gears means
this is an effortless highway cruiser and the big block doesn't
need a lot of gear to get rolling, making it surprisingly docile
but incredibly potent. Polished Torque Thrust wheels sparkle
against the dark gray paint and wear fat BFG rubber.
Professionally built and detailed to take no prisoners, this is one
of those rare cars that runs even better than it looks, which is
saying an awful lot. Call today!
