Description of 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle SS |
This is a genuine big block SS Chevelle born mulsanne blue with white interior. It also has very desirable factory options- cowl induction, air conditioning, gauges, console and more. I first bought this car in 2014 from an elderly man that owned it for many years. He swore that the mileage was original at 39,000. It now has 40,634. EXTERIOR: Factory code 26 Mulsanne blue, very desirable. The white stripes are correctly painted on. Also has very desirable cowl induction, not just the raised hood but it actually has the flapper door. The body is in really good shape. This is an older paint job and there's no signs of rust, bubbles or cracking. Appears to be original quarter panels, bottom of the doors and fenders are clean. The metal flake is laid out nice and paint is polished glossy and smooth. The stripes are smooth to the touch. 15 inch Cragar wheels with Mickey Thompson tires they look brand new. They really add some bling to the car, they're fatter in the back. The bumpers, trim and moldings are all very good, at least a seven out of 10. Has original weather strips. Original clear windshield helps justify low miles. INTERIOR: Appears well cared for and unabused. The white upholstery is slightly dirty, not brand new but it's not beat up either. The dash area is very good original, dash pad is excellent, heater control panel is real nice. It has the factory gauges including tachometer. Has original center console with horseshoe shifter, a new aluminum insert wood set it off nicely. Has the owner's manual in the glovebox and a retro stereo in the factory hole. The headliner is tight as a drum, the dome light works. Carpet is excellent. ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It is a genuine big block car with a non original 454 motor. Overall everything appears stock- the manifolds, valve covers etc. It looks like it has been maintained, there are some new items like distributor cap, wires, fuel pump, alternator. It is a factory air conditioning system that looks complete. It's been updated to R134 freon. It also has power steering and power brakes. TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Clean metal has been spatter painted. I looked up inside the quarters with a flashlight they are original, I didn't see any splices. The jamb looks like it's the original paint, the factory seams and spot welds are still crisp. The spare is an original Wide Oval tire that has never been used! It still has the ink on the tread and it's on an SS wheel. The tire is probably worth a lot of money to the right person. UNDERSIDE: The bottom of this car looks solid and original, maintained when needed. Has the F-41 suspension which includes sway bars and boxed control arms. The front end components look good. Has original Turbo 400 automatic, looks fresh. Original 12 bolt rear end. The dual exhaust system is recent. Has disc brakes in front, they look recent. E-brake cables are hooked up. Floors, rockers, braces, lower 1/4s look solid. This SS has a lot to offer at a very affordable price! Consider the colors and options when comparing.
