Vehicle Description
This 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle is a secretly rewarding coupe. That's
because beneath the investments in a very custom interior and
exterior lies a highly original V8 heart.
The paintwork on this one is worth the value price alone. After
all, the 1972 Chevelle Malibu body was one of the meanest designs
around, and this is only amplified by the full custom appearance.
The Gunmetal Gray is modern paint, and it has been applied with
enough clearcoat to give this great depth. And the shine is so nice
that they could paint over the traditional brightwork areas like
the bumpers and not lose any overall luster. Plus, this chrome-free
appearance gives this classic a modern flair. The wide orange
stripe outlined in silver is a bold way to highlight our favorite
curves on the final year for the hardtop design. And the custom
elements don't end with the paint. The power bulge in the cowl hood
and large Boss 20-inch wheels make this one look like its ready for
a magazine cover.
There's more custom work inside, too. The houndstooth bucket seats
are a great Chevy icon and a very welcomed custom addition. After
all, they not only look great, but also you'll never think twice
about hopping in on a hot day with your shorts on. And going for a
drive anytime is exactly what this custom Malibu was built to do.
That's why it has great features like the upgraded AM/FM CD stereo
and factory air conditioning. The two-spoke factory steering wheel
gives you a commanding view of all the important readouts. So not
only is that extra-long speedometer unobstructed, but also you can
also see the auxiliary gauges and large SunPro tach with ease.
Under the hood is a 350 cubic-inch small-block V8. This very
honest-looking motor is the same one that was installed at the Van
Nuys, California factory 45 years ago. And while there are plenty
of performance upgrades available at a reasonable price, we are
kind of excited about how this one already looks. After all,
there's something kind of cool about pulling up in a full custom
machine, and then surprising everyone when you lift the hood to
showcase a survivor-grade engine bay. Plus, a car that is this
factory-correct and has been treated to good maintenance means a V8
that fires up reliably and runs smoothly. And if this is starting
to sound like a great vehicle for cruising, then the three-speed
automatic transmission, power steering, and the grip of modern ZR
rated tires will absolutely convince you.
A great custom coupe with an original heart. This is a truly
distinctive Malibu offered at a gone-tomorrow price. Call
