If you like orangeand#44; then this 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle is the convertible you need to own. In addition to being covered in your favorite colorand#44; its got a strong-runningand#44; pro-built 383 stroker motorand#44; awesome interiorand#44; and a big horsepower lookand#44; making it a highly desirable ragtop from the tail end of the muscle car era. Hugger Orange isnt this cars original colorand#44; but compared to a lot of the homely hues they were turning out in the early 70sand#44; its simply gorgeous. Its deepand#44; shinyand#44; and has just the right performance look so it really glows when the sun hits it just right. The finish is recent and very well doneand#44; with lots of time spent on getting the surface right before they started spraying paint. Given how many odd-colored Chevelles were running around in 1972and#44; this one will stand out just about anywhere with its great combination and its going to look this good for years to come. That hood is a functioning cowl-induction unitand#44; which would disappear after 1972 and the black SS stripes were painted on so they look is totally seamless. Nice chrome trimand#44; including the bumpers and revised 1972 grilleand#44; shows well against the bright orange paint and proper SS badges are in place to finish it off. The handsome black bucket seat interior is correct for this car and its a fantastic alternative to the more frequently seen white or tan choices. The seats and door panels are in very good conditionand#44; too nice to be original but not so perfect that they look like you just took them out of the boxand#44; and the console features our favorite horseshoe shifter. Just about everything you can touch is newand#44; including the dash pad and carpets. Experts will note that the dash is Malibuand#44; not Chevelle SSand#44; but thats OKand#44; especially since they added a set of auxiliary gauges under the dash to monitor the engines vitals. The entertainment system has been upgraded with a JVC AM/FM/CD head unit and new speakers in the usual locations. A black convertible top with matching black boot looks to be in almost new condition and includes a glass rear window. The trunk is fully carpeted in blackand#44; including a cover for the spare tireand#44; which keeps things neat and tidy. Open the cowl-induction hood and youll find a built 383 cubic inch V8and#44; which is a lot more potent than anything they were offering in 1972. Built by Skip White Enginesand#44; its effortless and easy in everything it doesand#44; pulling this convertible around with genuine enthusiasm. Some of that is due to the Holley 4-barrel carburetorand#44; aluminum intake manifoldand#44; and a set of deep-breathing aluminum heads. It isnt trying to look stockand#44; not with hots fabricated aluminum valve coversand#44; but theres no mistaking the Chevy DNA. Underneathand#44; ceramic-coated long-tube headers were added along with a throaty dual exhaust systemand#44; so it certainly sounds like all the horsepower showed up to partyand#44; and the floors are sparkling clean. A TH400 3-speed automatic transmission and 10-bolt rear end are rugged enough to take anything you throw at them and power front disc brakes offer plenty of stopping power for all that engine. 14-inch American Racing mag wheels are some of the most handsome of the era and carry 225/70/14 white letter radials. A handsomeand#44; trouble-free cruiser in great colors and with a strong pedigree. Whats not to love? Call today! |
