Chevelles are hot right now. There's just something about a Chevy that can carry the family and also looks so cool with its sleek hardtop design. So to find this 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle with a mean green color combo and a performance-built stroker V8 to back it all up might just be the hottest deal going. Sequoia Green is a great 1970s color. The earthtone represents the era well and makes it a distinctive classic today. Of course, it helps... that the period-correct color has been given a full professional respray during the coupe's lifetime. That means the deep green has a bright luster that can only come from modern paint practices. Bodywork is quite nice, so the sunlight rolls off of each panel evenly. Plus, there was a lot of attention paid to getting those iconic black SS stripes correct. The intimidating attitude is continued on the cowl induction hood, blacked out grille, and all that correct SS badging. It was 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. And of course, genuine American Racing Torq Thrust wheels are an iconic all on their own. The interior gets the full green treatment, too, as the factory-correct door panels, carpeting, bench seats, and dash are all a coordinating color. Because so many of these Chevelles were changed to black over the years, it's a true standout to have the original green still boldly displayed today. While this was Chevy's intermediate offering in the 1970s, today that means there's plenty of room to carry up to five family members and friends with you on any trip. But on a cool pillarless coupe like this, the driver is always the most important. You know that the moment you slip behind the factory dual-spoke wheel that gives you a clear view of the large SunPro tach. This is a nice sign that there's something special under the hood even before you twist the key and hear it roar. One look in the engine bay, and those Chevrolet performance valve covers instantly let you know this is a muscular V8. It's a 383 cubic-inch stroker motor specially built by JD Motorsports. They fortified and enhanced this V8 with go-fast goodies like an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock Performer intake, aluminum heads, MSD ignition, and Hedman long tube headers that feed the thunderous dual exhaust. Plus, the stout TH350 three-speed automatic transmission has been built with a 3500 RPM stall to keep you in the optimal powerband. Out on the road, features like the thick sway bark up front, power brakes, and BF Goodrich T/As at all four corners are exactly the pieces you want for added control. A speedy and distinct example of iconic American muscle. You can really make other people green with envy over this green Chevelle.... that is if you're quick enough to grab this deal. Call today!!!
