1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Chevelle

This is a 1972 Chevy Chevelle that I had restored over a 5 year period. Ireplaced everything possible that I felt like would make the car stayauthentic but at the same time look, feel, and sound modern andaggressive. This is not an all original matching numbers SS car with alloriginal parts so if you are looking for that this is not the car foryou. This car will turn heads everywhere you go and gets a ton ofattention from the looks and aggressive sound. I've kept a complete listof all the things I had done to the car and have receipts. See belowfor complete list but to sum up - rebuilt SB 350 engine, rebuilt 350THtransmission, new 373 gears for aggressive cruising with a new dualposi, new long tube headers, and new all the following as well:flowmaster 10 series true dual exhaust, wheels/tires, 3 stage radiator,bucket seats, sound system, 650 carburetor, air filter, Dixie Horn,Optima battery, custom cut orange spark plug wires, SS hoses, manifold,carpet, door panels, torque convertor, Steering wheel, tint,distributor, and the list goes on.

This car starts right up every time, great oil pressure, Garage kept,and never overheats. Never been to track, it's a cruising car. All thenew and rebuilt engine/transmission/gears/wheels/tires/exhaust etc. onlyhave 1k or less miles on them.
