All 1972 Chevrolet Chevelles are desirable classics that can carry family and friends in style, but this restored example is a cut above. It's a bright blue hardtop with a performance-built big black and the control of a four-speed stick. So you're looking at the turnkey muscle machine that's ready to make a bold impression as soon as tomorrow. There were some nice colors in the Chevelle pallet for 1972, and while this resembles Mulsanne Blue, you can tell that... there has been a nice investment that makes this one far superior. There's a bright shine that can only come from modern paint practices and the deep luster gives this a true standout presence. And the good bodywork gives this paint a great canvas and the straightness to expertly lay down the iconic white SS stripes. It's built before new bumper laws so those big chrome kings fit much snugger to the body, and the rear still houses the taillights in a very cool way. But not only sleek, this coupe also has plenty of aggression thanks to the cowl induction hood, blacked out grille, and those new large 18-inch US Mags wheels. In a sea of black interiors, this coupe's beige is an immediate attention-getter. And just like the exterior, you can intently tell there has been the right attention paid here. The seats, door panels, headliner, dash pad, and carpeting have the unmistakable feel of an investment in quality. All the right factory pieces are still in place, but now they are joined by some thoughtful upgrades. For example, there's auxiliary gauges and an AM/FM/CD stereo w/aux input and Bluetooth mounted in the middle of the dash. But the best upgrades become immediately apparent the moment you side behind the two-spoke steering wheel that gives you a clear view of the large AutoMeter tach w/shift light. Plus, the Hurst shifter in your right hand should be a clear indication that there is something special in the engine bay. This is the kind of motor that will make you proud to lift the hood at car shows. Everyone loves the sight of a big block V8 filling in all that space in the engine bay. The 454 cubic-inch motor has a great presentation with the bold orange block, plenty of added polish on the valve covers & air topper, and tidy wires & hoses. But in a car with so much Super Sport appeal, you'll be glad to hear it has also been enhanced with performance features like a dual feed four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock aluminum intake, MSD ignition, aluminum radiator, and long tube headers that feed the thunderous dual exhaust. Best of all, you have complete control over this enhanced V8 and its roar thanks to the four-speed manual transmission. More than just pure muscle, this one was also made to hit the road with feature like power steering, front disc brakes, and the modern grip of Nitto NT555 Extreme ZR tires. This is a quality build with all the upgrades you want. It's turnkey ready for fun right now, but something this attractive won't wait forever. Call today!!!
