1972 Chevrolet Camaro

1972 Chevrolet Camaro Hardtop For consignment a 1972 Camaro, highly modified to get the lowest ET possible in a straight line race. Plenty of power, a mostly original looking 1972 car, but do not be fooled, this Camaro rocks and knocks off socks. Sporting a worked to the nines 660+hp 496ci V8, a Ford 9 axle and 6,260 non verifiable miles on the updated instrument cluster. This Camaro is ready, willing and able to hand out an ass kicking at the drop of a hat...or arm for that matter. Exterior With a Dark Blue Metallic respray on this street legal straight liner has plenty of spit shine left on the steel. Exterior gaps are good, and panels remain straight but the paint does show with a few chips and battle scars on the lowers of the body. A large rear facing hood scoop allows for plenty of nostrils for the inhale and the power plant just under. Chrome hood pins lead the way at the front of the hood which has taken on a somewhat Trans Am look with a V front grille, single headlights and round parking/signal lighting just next to the grille. Front split bumpers are mirror-like, and all trim remains very nicely preserved. Starting in 1970, began the years when GM began to change the design of the Camaro, and blurred the lines between a Camaro and a Pontiac, give a gaze to the front of the car and it will pan out! Not a true beak but certainly features that resemble each other. 15-inch polished Weld DragLite wheels are wrapped with 215/65/R15s in front, and with 275/60R15 on the rear. Bringing up the rear of the car is a small spoiler, another shiny chrome bumper and the round tail lighting. Interior A swing of the doors and we see some slight modification to the interior, starting with a full 6-point roll cage, correct Camaro black vinyl bucket seats with 4-point harnesses, and some Autometer gauges to replace the factory ones, all mounted within a carbon fiber bezel in the stock black dash. Plenty of toggles to play with in the center and nice black carpet covers the floors. Other highlights include a Hurst shifter in the power window toggle equipped console, Grant rally steering wheel, and an interesting combo of street racer and creature comforts. All this sits between original door panels right out of 1972 that have been fitted with polished aluminum lower sections. A shout to the trunk where the fuel cell and battery now resides. Drivetrain A pristine and highly polished huge 496ci Chevrolet V8 is stuffed under the hood. This money shot marvel of racing engineering contain a Callies forged crank, Crower forged rods, and a Comp Cams .710i/.680e roller cam which uses roller lifters. It sports Brodix aluminum heads with Jesel 1.7 roller rockers, and a Brodix intake. Fossils flow freely through a single Holley 4-barrel carburetor. Strapped to the back is a 3-speed TH400 automatic which has an ATI 8 stall converter, a reverse manual valve body and a trans brake. The rear axle is a hefty Ford 9 unit with Richmond gears, and a Mark Williams spool and Mark Williams axles. I assure you kids, we are NOT screwing around with this powerhouse! Undercarriage Independent coil springs featuring tubular front control arms, and for the rear, leaf springs with Cal Track bars. All disc brakes for this racer and for the exhale we have headers which flow into a Magnaflow exhaust. Breathe deep, now exhale! Woosh... Drive-Ability Yes! Yes! Yes! It definitely drives, it certainly starts, and it offers up plenty of ear candy when the throttle is pushed. Climbing in is a bit much for this old writer, but once in it is comfortable, and all is working well. Definitely an all polished like a shiny apple, eager to give a teaching lesson to a lesser vehicle who dares to step up to the line. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase. At first glance an original 1972 style Camaro with some interesting wheels and a big rear facing scooped hood. But if we dig deeper, there is plenty of extra blood, sweat and tears that went into this car on the mechanical front, and if remotely interested, you should have a gander at the specs, which are well documented. The dyno sheet says shell put out 666 horsepower.
