Chevelle - 1972 Chevelle SS 454 by Tom

Muscle Car: Chevy Chevelle SS Year: 1972 Engine: 454 Condition: Restored

I purchased the Chevelle in Las Vegas. I performed a frame off restoration, Complete with powder-coated frame and stainless steel brake and fuel lines. I media-blasted the body to bare metal and painted it with the original code 65 Flame Orange Metallic in a two stage formula and painted the black deck stripes under the clear coat. I built the 454 engine with 525 HP and and rebuilt the Muncie 4 speed and 12-bolt differential with 3.73 ratio gears. I had a new black vinyl top installed and the interior has been reupholstered with stock fabrics. My goal was for the car to look stock until you lift the hood.
