1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Resto Mod
The old-school Chevelle is a forever reigning king when it comes to the muscle car era. When one thinks back to those golden days, it’s a car that likely comes to mind first. Considered a powerhouse from the factory, here we have an incredible 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle SS that has strayed far from its factory roots. Better than ever, this new version would smoke the old one out of the water in regards to performance.
Since the 1972 model year was the end of a Chevelle generation, this was the last time one could get the beefy front end with a fastback profile and a hardtop without pillars. This beastly beauty features shiny chrome accents throughout that still give it that classic muscle car appeal such as hood pins, big exhaust tips, and Super Sport badging. Laid across the top of the paint are aesthetically pleasing racing stripes that breaks up the black paint perfectly. A final generation model year Chevelle, it’s the last year the muscle car featured chrome bumpers that hug the body. Staggered modern polished alloy wheels can be found on all corners and helps with its forward-leaning stance as if ready to launch off without warning.
Open the doors to this Chevelle and expose an upgraded interior that still retains classic styling. The black custom seats retain the factory style pattern but have new padding and a black theme given to the two front buckets and a bench spanning the rear. Making sure the sinister theme carries on inside is the addition of the door panels, carpeting, headliner, and dashboard in a deep black. Upgrades include the retro-style AM/FM radio digital tuner, custom cup holder center console, and air conditioning that blows ice cold. In front of the driver’s seat sits a wooden steering wheel attached to a tilt column with power steering and Dakota Digital gauges with a large speedometer and tach.
This 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle is truly an amazing classic that’s ready for your local car show or cruise night!
