The Chevelle was a mid-size model that was produced over a few generations starting in 1964. The second generation is arguably the most popular and featured a distinctly sculpted "coke bottle" body with tapered fenders and a rear quarter kick up. A variety of engines were on offer but the most potent and powerful being the 454cid V8 in the SS. The 1972 model year SS came with a new net rating of 270hp although it wasn't that big of a real power drop from previous years. GR Auto Gallery is plea...sed to present this very clean 1972 Chevelle SS. The vaunted 454 badge means big power and big presence and this one doesn't disappoint. With a recent professionally finished paint job in metallic brown with twin black racing stripes this car looks nicer than when it left the factory. All of the trim and brightwork is in similarly excellent condition. The interior is likewise in excellent shape with a clean uncracked dash and rip and stain free seats. The 454cid V8 is mated to a rebuilt Turbo350 automatic transmission. The engine sounds beefy and healthy and it drives very well. In addition to the trans rebuilt the differential was also rebuilt. A 10 bolt Posi rear end with 3.07 gears brings up the rear. The car is also equipped with power front disc brakes power steering and a working heater. The current owner claims that he is the second owner and that he has owned it for just three years. A gorgeous car that looks and drives well is in a nice sweet spot between fully restored and all original and is ready to go to a new home today!
