1972 Chevrolet Chevelle

Description

Chevelles often have been treated like blank canvases where engine swaps are a bit common. That's why it's refreshing to see a cool-looking 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle hardtop with its original number-matching 350 at an affordable muscle car price.

It's easy to understand why you find this Chevelle so visually stunning. It has had a recent respray that gives the black an unmistakable high gloss shine. It also doesn't hurt that the contrasting white stripes were painted on to complete the SS350 look. Fit and finish are quite good, and that helps highlight the excellent condition of the body. A cowl-induction hood and hood pins add an aggressive look, and the SS gear in 1972 included a blacked-out grille and a few well-placed badges around the perimeter. Overall, it's a great aggressive apperance with just the right amount of shine from the window trim and tightly fitting chrome bumpers. People might think twice about messing with you at stoplights, but then again, they can't see you from behind the window tint that makes the glass as dark and shiny as the paint.

Black buckets flanking a center console make this Chevelle a lot more desirable than most of its bench seat siblings. It leaves room for the iconic horseshoe shifter that makes this coupe really feel like a Super Sport. The seat covers, door panels, and carpets are all quite nice and there is a practical side to this muscle car. It has the interior space to seat five, and they will all stay comfortable with the air conditioner running on easy to service R-134a. There's even a newer AM/FM/CD stereo to keep everyone entertained. But on the days you want to be a rebel, it's a lot of fun to just roll down all the windows on this pillarless hardtop and listen to the rumble of the dual exhaust.

Under the hood is a beefy looking 350 cubic-inch small-block V8. This is the same L48 motor that was installed at the Arlington, Texas factory 43 years ago. But by now it has gone through some serious upgrades. Besides the engine bay looking neat and tidy with new belts, hoses, and wiring, it also is running with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock performance intake. As much as this is a great performance machine, you'll also love it for cruising. The automatic transmission, tall rear end ratio, front disc brakes, and power steering all work together to make this the Chevelle an easy choice for any day of the week. Add in the modern Firehawk tires on the iconic Chevy Rally wheels, and this coupe is as comfortable as any modern daily driver... only you'll be the coolest person on the commute.

This Chevelle gets it all right at a very reasonable price. Call today!
