1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Description

Chevelle people know that 1972 was the end of an era. This was the last time we'd get such an aggressive design and the cool pillarless hardtop coupe. And not only does this one celebrate that legacy correctly, but it also has a top-dog LS5 454 V8 to make it truly memorable. Add in all the right upgrades, including modern shimmering paint and a five-speed stick, and you've got the best of everything in one coupe.You can instantly tell there was a lot of time, care, and money invested in keeping this unique classic in show-worthy condition. The Pewter Silver is the factory-correct color, but it has been given a modern professional respray to give it the kind of clearcoat shine the factory never could. The result is a coupe that truly looks like precious metal in the sunshine. And this one is car worthy of distinction. You can see its premium presence in everything from the mirror-like chrome bumpers to the black vinyl roof. But more than just a first-class appearance, the coupe also carries all the aggressive touches that make this generation a muscle car icon. The dual stripes, cowl induction hood, blacked-out grille, hood pins, and proper SS badging on every side it's a true mean machine. It even has nicely coordinating torque thrust alloys that are a hint to the other upgrades throughout the car.We always love it when the exterior accent color matches the interior it's another sign of a top-quality car. Plus, there's arguably nothing better in a proper muscle car than a black interior. That's why the we're happy to see the carpets, seating, dash, and other areas look so deep and dark. Chevelles were the intermediate size cars in 1972, and by today's standards, there's plenty of room to comfortably take family and friends along for the ride. But this SS was built to make sure the driver was always the priority. Bucket seats and a center console provide an individual level of comfort. The dual-spoke steering wheel gives you a commanding view of the whole dash, including upgrades like the AM/FM/cassette stereo and large AutoMeter tach. And when you see the auxiliary readouts on the A-pillar and count the extra gear on the Hurst shifter, you realize there is something quite special under the hood.Take some real time to appreciate what you see when you pop the hood. We all love to the sight of Chevy's famous big block 454 V8, especially when it's dressed correctly in Chevy orange with bright valve covers and air grabber... and this one even has the proper diaphragm for the true cowl induction hood! It's also a desirable LS5 motor the last of the great Chevelle big blocks. Plus, the Holley four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, aluminum radiator w/electric fans, and long tube headers make sure this big V8 is giving you the best performance. You are in total control of this powerful motor thanks to the upgraded five-speed manual transmission. And all the things that make this package remarkable are also what will make it irresistible to take out on the road. After all, you'll love to hear the roar of the dual exhaust as you take complete control of the big block's new shift pattern. Plus, features like power steering, front disc brakes, and well-maintained suspension are just begging you to drive this one to the car show.Complete with owner's manual, we already know you're imagining all the places you'll take this special coupe. But the only way to drive it tomorrow is if you call today!
