72 Chevelle SS 454 4-Speed w/Air! Real SS "W" VIN w/Build Sheet! Perf Upgrades!

Thank you for considering my vehicle! My name is Ed Zarick and I have been a licensed and bonded, independent auto dealer for over 27 years here in the Sunshine State. Florida dealer licensed as Ed’s Florida Cars. For over the past 18 years, I have sold literally hundreds of quality cars and trucks at great prices here on eBay Motors and will continue to do so for years to come. I work by myself and I can afford to sell for less than the car lots do. This is no part-time endeavor for me! It's what I do to support my family! In order for me to stay competitive in a crowded market place, I have to work harder then the other guy to earn your business and that is what I do. You will always get 100% personalized service to be sure your experience is a good one. Never any extra "dealer fees" or other ridiculous add-ons, just a simple and honest, no-nonsense approach that is easy to deal with. I want to earn your business now and in the future! Just check my feedback, it speaks volumes!

All my offerings are put through a service/safety check and road test to be sure they are safe and road worthy. I make sure the oil has been changed and do an inspection of the brakes, belts, hoses, cooling system, fluid levels, etc. Of course, every vehicle will ride and drive with the engine and transmission performing as expected. If you would prefer to have a third party inspect the car before bidding, I am most willing to help you facilitate that. I know of several shops in town that will deal with you directly or you are welcome to locate one on your own. Either way, I will deliver the car there for you and pick it up after inspection for no extra charge. Of course, the shop would charge a nominal fee and would bill you directly, but I will even reimburse your inspection charges if you end up buying the vehicle!!!

I know it can be hard to buy a vehicle that you can't see in person, so I will do my best to present it as well as I possibly can through pictures and accurate description. What you will get from me is an honest, down to earth presentation with any notable cosmetic issues disclosed. What you won't get is a flowery, over exaggerated sales pitch that makes a car seem better than new or bigger than life! Check my feedback and you will see what other happy customers have to say. That's my best advertisement! If you have ANY questions at all, please feel free to call me on my mobile phone @ 239-940-4170. I am more than willing to to address any concerns you may have about the vehicle, the price, finalizing the deal, taking possession or any other details. If there is ANYTHING at all I can do to help you make your decision, please just let me know!! I want to be better than the "other guys"!

Well, on to the vehicle! Just so you know, whether you decide to fly in to Fort Myers and drive home or have the vehicle shipped, I will assist you any way I can on this end by meeting with the transporter or picking you up at the airport! Please be sure to read the bidding/buying guidelines at the bottom of the page, they are very important. I thank you in advance for your business and your trust in me!

Selling this awesome 1972 Chevelle SS 454 with a 4-speed and air conditioning! And it’s a real SS! No clone here! Has the “W” in the VIN denoting an SS454 and I also have the build sheet to go with it! Original floorpans and quarter panels, not a chopped up or “panel replaced” example, one solid original car with performance upgrades to make it a beast! I have been having a blast driving around! Tons of torque and she handles tight around corners with very little lean, feels like a sports car! And the exhaust tone of the cammed 454 is what we muscle car people live for! So sweet! This beauty was just traded in at the Naples Chevy dealership and I was very fortunate to get it and offer for sale here. Anyway, you can read the following detailed description and there are over 75 pictures below letting you see how good this one is! Done VERY well, it’s not some cobbed together old car!! This is the kind of Chevelle you can be very proud of at any show, easily drive every day and have a lot of fun doing it! Especially with the cold Vintage Air conditioning! And you could NEVER replace it or reproduce it for the money I am asking. You know as well as I do what build costs are and then you would have to find a solid original and real SS to start with!

Drivetrain- The motor has had work done on it for much more power than original including the later desireable 336781 heads, aluminum Weiand intake and high dollar Quick Fuel Technology carb. I don’t know for sure if the block is original as there are no numbers stamped on the the front pad. It appears to have been decked for more compression. It does sport Hooker headers and dual exhaust. I do not know what cam was used, but the awesome lopey idle and quick revving lets me know it’s the right one. Underneath is a 12 bolt 3.73 posi rear with aluminum case Super T-ten Borg Warner 4-speed transmission puts all that power to the ground very effectively. I don’t know the gearing used in the tranny, but definitely built for quick acceleration! Starts right up every morning, solid and strong and no smoking exhaust. The clutch is tight with no slipping and the transmission shifts as it should. This was a recent build and you will see pics of the clean, sludge free cylinder heads below. All very well done, even reflects in the quality fasteners used.

Suspension- All new front and rear tubular control arms with new springs and Bilstein shocks and fat sway bars. Tight and handles like a sports car! I think the control arms/springs are lowering it a bit for better handling, see the side pictures for the stance. I know you will be happy with the way it feels and the power steering and power brakes make it all the more better!

Exterior- As I said above, this is a solid original body with what appears to be all original panels and floorpans. A little rust is starting right behind the rear wheels, way less than even what typically shows up. Very common and an easy fix to be able to keep the original quarters. One repaint has been been done in the original Sequoia Green and done very professionally!! NOT a cheap respray by any means at all! Deep shine and color that rivals or beats the factory finish. It is an older repaint with a few small touchups/blems here and there, but nothing that takes away the sweet look! Not a 20k dollar, 100 point perfect show stopping finish, but far above what some would call driver quality. I loved it! If this was going to be my personal car, I would redo the spots behind the rear wheels and that’s it. The white vinyl top is excellent also with no tears or cracks, appears to have been replaced as it looks new.

Interior- Extremely nice and original! I had one lower panel replaced in the drivers seat because of a couple seam splits and my upholstery guy said these appeared to be the original seat covers! Not dried out or hard, just that great feel of the originals. While the seat was out getting fixed, I removed the passenger side to get pics of the full carpet, you will see below. I think it may have been replaced as it’s too new looking to be from 1972, but you can see they used a high end kit with the snaps and everything! The dash is not cracked and it sports the gauges on the dash panels. Aftermarket gauges are mounted below as the original dash mounts are not working. But, the tachometer and speedometer are working! I also found the clock and radio are not working. I did not try to figure this stuff out, it may well just be a ground issue. Professionally installed Vintage Air is blowing cold!!

Anyway, be sure to read my detailed description and the 75+ pictures below. This will give you an excellent overview to help with your decision. PLEASE feel free to call me directly on my cell phone with any questions at all or to discuss a reasonable offer. You can reach me @ 239-940-4170. I want you to be completely comfortable with your transaction and enjoy the whole experience!
With all that is offered here, my buy it now price should make a lot of sense! Take advantage of a quick purchase with no chance of losing it to someone else or I would consider a close offer. It is sold this way so you know what the price is, honestly offered with no games! I do advertise many of my vehicles locally, but if it is still listed here, it's still for sale!

Please don't let the fear of buying sight unseen keep you from getting something you want. With my $500.00 guarantee, you have basically no risk buying online. Just give me a call on my cell @ 239-940-4170 and we can talk about anything you need to know! Please be sure to look over my buying guidelines below, they should answer most of your questions.

My cell number is 239-940-4170 and I have it on Monday through Saturday from morning until late at night. PLEASE feel free to give me a ring! I thank you for your interest in my vehicle!
