1972 Chevrolet Chevelle SS Clone

Description

Sporting a great looking shade and wearing an aggressive cowl hood that hints at the power of the rumbling big block sitting just underneath, this 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS Clone has a lot to offer. This car is actually a 1972 model year and with the addition of the appropriate external components it has been made to mimic the pinnacle '70 year. And with a nicely restored interior just inside it's doors, this is a classic muscle car that will impress on all accounts.

The exterior is draped with midnight blue paint that's looking its best. It's got a great shine to it, having just received some work at the hands of a skilled detailer, and in the process a light ceramic coating was added for protection, so this shine isn't going anywhere any time soon. Now sporting the twin dual headlights, partitioned grille, fenders, rear bumper and tail lights from a '70, its look has been totally transformed. The nicely contoured cowl hood not only clears space for the powerplant just below, but it also adds to the overall muscular appearance, making this Chevelle stand out that much more. During its transformation process, those details that make such a difference in vintage rides like this one were looked after as well - that novel front grille is in top form, with its headlights surrounded by fresh casings, as are the bumpers both fore and aft, as well as the trim surrounding the cabin glass on all four sides. The black vinyl top makes for a great contrast and shows no bubbling or fading from sun exposure.

The interior has been brought back to life with some well-chosen aftermarket components taking their place beside factory counterparts. The Pro Car buckets up front are a great addition and blend in well with their surroundings, including the bench seat in back, and both sit over fresh-looking black carpeting. The dash area just in front of the aftermarket steering wheel has been replaced entirely - it was a seamless installation- and the instrument panel now features a collection of white-faced AutoMeter gauges to closely monitor engine readings and the overall minimalist look is a good fit for a no-nonsense performer like this. It's a pretty inviting environment here - a B&M shifter sits on top of the very clean center console, beckoning you to grab ahold, put the transmission into gear and see what this Chevy can do.

Lift the cowl hood and you'll certainly like what you see. A sizable 454 cubic inch V8 holds court in the center of a nicely detailed engine compartment, wearing a pair of sharp blue Moroso valve covers and an oval Edelbrock air cleaner for some added eye candy, while an MSD ignition has been added to maximize spark. The big block runs and sounds great, offering a deep growl through the long tube headers leading to its dual Flowmaster exhausts. A pair of Edelbrock 4-barrel carbs stand by just underneath that air cleaner to provide an optimum feeding for the big block, while a fuel cell has been mounted in the trunk for added safety measure. With power disc brakes at all four corners, fade resistant braking comes easy to this magnetic classic and power steering makes it easy to navigate as it cruises on its set of 17" Ion wheels outfitted with Fuzion HRI tires.

Packing some serious power to go along with a great, distinctive look and skillfully restored interior, this Chevelle has to be seen to be appreciated. Call today!
