Code 26 Mulsanne Blue is the original color, and over this car's history there has been a restoration that has made sure the ocean-like hue stays bright in the sunshine. The white painted stripes are not only a great way to showcase the Super Sport prowess, but also they fantastically match the bright white electric folding roof when it's in place. And more than just the big picture, this Chevelle gets all the details right for '72, too, such as the grille, badges, and clear front indicators. There are even the correct SS wheels with Goodyear Polyglass tires. This would be the last year for the iconic cowl induction hood, and in combination with hood pins, it just competes this Super Sport's aggressive first impression.White Elk bucket seats are what you get with this factory code 743 interior.
