classic vintage chrome chevy 350 v8 auto transmission muscle mojave gold

Description

The fact that this 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle has come through the years in such solid condition is a pretty persuasive selling point on its own, but it's done so not only with its original colors displayed both inside and out, but also with its numbers matching powerplant still getting it done with ease from under the hood. This classic is not only an obvious conversation piece, but also a very strong driver. Draped in the same Mojave... Gold shade it debuted with looking sharp and fresh while ornamented by a pair of broad white stripes running down the length of its sculpted cowl hood, this Chevy classic has curb appeal in abundance. The color itself provides such a distinctive appearance - despite its authentic, factory origins, it's got a definite aftermarket sensibility that's amplified by its nice, deep shine. Clean, unblemished chrome surrounds the clear glass on all four sides of the cabin and both the front and rear bumpers appear to be level and in good shape. Take a lap around and you'll also see that the exterior alignment is in good stead - the body panels blend together well and the gaps surrounding the hood, doors and deck lid are nice and even. While the traditional Chevy badging of the era remains in place in both front and back, it's been removed from the sides - all the better to allow that distinctive gold shade to work its magic. The light tan of the interior is the perfect complement to the high impact gold on display outside. This is a very sharp looking vintage driving environment, showing only the most minor of wear with no issues to detract from its impact anywhere in sight. The split bench seat up front wears a fresh and well fitted cover and the added console at its center really comes in handy, with a set of cupholders and some welcome interior storage space. Below, the carpet's spot-free condition suggests it was only recently added, and the headliner above and the door panels at the sides are in downright great condition. Just in front of the GM Comfort Grip steering wheel, the dash area is another high point - it remains in largely stock configuration, is in fine shape and now sports a Sony AM/FM/DVD system with Sirius connectivity at its center, so there'll be quite an array of audio options at your disposal. The air conditioning is blowing cold and strong and has been updated to modern 134a refrigerant. A look below the hood provides more confirmation that this is a well-maintained classic - every belt and hose seems nearly new. At the center of the compartment is the original 350 cubic inch V8. Internally, the engine remains authentically bone stock and is running strong - it now wears an Edelbrock intake manifold and 4-barrel carb on top for some added gusto and is accompanied by both an upgraded HEI ignition for a hotter available spark, as well as a Champion aluminum radiator for improved temperature control. Chevelles of this era already featured coil springs in back for a quieter ride and no binding around corners and the 3-speed automatic TH350 transmission on this one is shifting smoothly and precisely for a very solid driving experience that's rounded out by power steering for easy handling, as well as power brakes that bring this classic's set of 15" American Racing Torq Thrust wheels to quick, dependable stops. Sporting an impressive level of originality that comes at no sacrifice to its rock solid running condition, this 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle would be a great acquisition for the Chevy enthusiast looking for a strong driving classic.
