1972 Chevrolet Chevelle

Cruisin Classics is excited to offer for your consideration this 1972 Chevelle powered by the original numbers matching 402ci big block engine backed by a Non numbers matching Muncie 4-speed transmission. Power is put to the ground through a 12-bolt Posi rear end with 3:31 gears. What we learned by decoding the trim tag that appears to be original and unmolested, the car has been repainted in its original color of Cranberry red (Paint code 75). While we would not consider it to be a show quality repaint it does show well, we would call it a nice driver quality repaint. Also found to be trim tag correct are the black (code 704) bucket seats (code A51) found to be in nice driver-quality condition with no rips or tears, only showing what we consider to be normal wear. The dashboard, carpet, and headliner are all in overall nice condition as well. In 1972 the only way to identify a real SS was if it had a W as the 5th digit in the Vin number indicating a 454ci engine that only came in the SS cars or a build sheet, Pro-tec-to plate or original bill of sale. Unfortunately, we do not have any documentation and the 5th digit of this car is a U Indicating an LS3 402ci engine. Starting in 1972 the government mandated all engines be rated in SAE net rather than the gross HP rating. Due to the new mandate the LS3 402ci engine was underrated at 240 horsepower. The car has what you would expect to find on a real SS including round gauges with white numbers, a black front grill, and SS badging in all the correct places. We realize that all of these things can be easily installed on a non-SS car to create a clone. We truly believe this Chevelle could be a real SS but there is absolutely no way to prove it is or is not at this point. After purchasing this Chevelle we ran it through our performance center where we pulled the engine and made some improvements. We installed a new Comp cams roller cam kit, 510/510 duration, center line 110, matching valve springs, new retainers, new timing chain, push rods and push rod guides. Other new parts include ceramic-coated long tube headers, HEI distributor and new wires, a new oil pump, and pick-up. A new McLeod Super street 11 clutch assembly and flywheel. New OEM chrome valve covers and finally, a new Edelbrock 800 CFM carb sitting on a brand new Edelbrock plasma-coated Performer RPM intake. Please feel free to call one of our friendly staff with any questions you may have about this Chevelle, I would suggest you not wait long as we dont think this one will last!
