Time to think about your dream big block muscle car. The one that has been restored to the level that wins you a trunk full of awardsand#44; and as you take them homeand#44; you have all the comforts you could ever dream of wanting. Now open your eyes to your true dream machineand#44; this 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle SS. It took four years to restore this coupe to this caliber... and the moment you lay eyes on itand#44; youll know thats true. There are black carsand#44; and then there is this slippery shade of midnight that has been expertly applied to look like every surface is made of liquid. Oh yeahand#44; there was a small fortune spent on paint aloneand#44; but theres much more at work here. There has also been serious time with the sheetmetal. The body has been sanded and blocked professionally to provide the best canvas for this black. The result gives you some of the best uniform gaps ever seenand#44; and a such an even shine that the sunlight cant expose where one panel ends and another begins. And a on a body like thisand#44; you know they go the details rightand#44; too. The bumpers have the mirror-like quality of fresh chromeand#44; and they hug the design lines with precision. All the correct SS components are there like the blacked-out grilleand#44; hood pinsand#44; correct badgingand#44; and cowl induction hood. But custom touches like the 18-inch black and chrome American Racing alloys instantly let the world know theres more to this Chevelle than just a top-quality restoration. Stepping inside is like discovering a time capsule. Everywhere you look is correct from 1972 – from the bucket seatsand#44; to the center consoleand#44; to the door panelsand#44; to the carpetand#44; to the dash. Its all deepand#44; darkand#44; and fresh. That tells us no expense was spared making sure that anything that didnt feel brand new was replaced with the correct material. Even the glass and rubber were replaced to give this coupe a true superior feeling. But more than just great materialsand#44; youll love how its a true muscle car. You slip behind the two-spoke SS steering wheel. It gives you a clear view to the desirable U14 gauge cluster that upgraded you for all round dialsand#44; including a large tachand#44; speedoand#44; and clock – all working perfectly. And of courseand#44; we all love the iconic horseshoe shifter. But as you look around this period-correct executionand#44; youre going to notice some subtle but desirable upgrades. For exampleand#44; the radio looks like a correct knob-style AM/FM unitand#44; but closer inspection will show it to be a more modern digital tuner with an aux input for your iPod. That goes great with the custom speaker system. Plusand#44; the power windows mean you never have to leave the drivers seat when you feel like rolling all the windows down and showing off the cool pillarless hardtop profile. And since the air conditioning is running modern R134aand#44; you can do it all without breaking a sweat. Those who know Chevelles are familiar with the 402 cubic-inch V8. Chevy would advertise it in other displacementsand#44; but this big block has the right home under the hood – its even date code correct to 72. While the block is correctand#44; the moment you lay eyes on the motorand#44; the Chevy performance valve covers and tidy presentation let you know instantly that there has been a lot of money invested in adding go-fast goodies. It starts with an Avenger electronic fuel injection systemand#44; and added to this are features like a Holley intakeand#44; MSD ignitionand#44; polished aluminum pulleys w/serpentine belt driveand#44; and headers that feed a X-pipe dual exhaust. But dont just listen to this thunderous V8; follow its path in the undercarriage photos. There you will see the telltale signs of a recent built (less than 1and#44;100 miles since completion) that has upgraded all the major suspension components. The 4L60E four-speed automatic |
