The Chevelle SS represented Chevrolet’s entry into the muscle car market with 64 Malibu SS. In 1968 the Chevelle got a new distinctly sculpted body with tapered front fenders and a rounded beltline. The 1971 Chevelles got fresh front end and rear end styling that included large Power-Beam single unit headlights, a reworked grille and bumper and integral park/signal/marker lights while the 1972 Chevelles wore single unit parking/side marker lights on their front fenders, outside of a revised twin-bar grille. The 1972 Chevelle SS had a top engine rated at 270 net hp conforming with GM's decree that all engines were to be rated at their net engine ratings. Despite the lower rating there was no evidence that power had actually changed on production cars of that year. All other engines on the SS roster were unchanged from 1971. This particular example retains its original numbers matching 402 CI V8 rated at 240 HP (still known as a 396). It was restored about 15 years ago at which time the engine was rebuilt, the transmission was converted from a T400 to a Muncie M22 and the bench seat was replaced with bucket seats. It retains its original colors of Cranberry Red with a Black Elk interior and matching black rally stripes. It had just over 80,000 miles when it was restored and it currently has just under 95,000 total miles. It fires up without hesitation and sounds the way a muscle car should when you get into the gas. The restoration has held up very well and we would currently classify this as a number 2 car which would appraise at $43,875 accordingly. We are serious about selling and have priced the car accordingly so if you could see this beauty sitting your driveway you better pick up the phone before it’s too late!
