No winters and rain only a few times when I got caught in it. My son who will be 50 in a couple weeks first ride home from the hospital when born was in the back seat of this car with my wife now of almost 56 years.. My son is part owner of the 71 at present. He has a Chevelle too, a 72 pro street hardtop. He has owned his car since '89 [under stock configuration]. Yup, we are a couple of Chevelle nuts.

Mine had the original engine but the guy I purchased it from had installed a solid lifter cam , Aluminum Intake, Holley 750 carb and headers. He also installed a scattershield with a Street strip clutch and 410 gears. The great memories this episode is bringing back. I cannot believe how original that car is. I am blown away!

    That car needs to be in a museum. To think its been that mans car since he started driving. Lots of memories. Kinda sad though how much he loved the car. Time flies away when you are young. My brother inlaw purchased a 1970 Chevrolet elcomino SS 396cu 4 speed with blue metallic paint with white strips brand new. He had just got out of the army. I remember getting to ride in it in centennial Park in Nashville, me and my mom sitting in the bed of the car. It was cool looking. I remember him playing the 8 track in the car. CCR was singing who stopped the rain. Brings back good memories 😊

    Awesome, Awesome vid. I have my dad's 72' SS Chevelle that he bought new in 72'. It's Fire/Orange with black stripes and interior. It's a 350/auto on the column. Has 87,xxx miles on it. Hasn't ran in 30 years and needs restoring but have all the original parts in it and on it. Dad never changed anything on it, just drove it. He traded his 68' Camaro in on it that he also bought new back in the day. Wish I had the funds to restore it, but have been wishing that for years. So guess it will sit for some more years.

    Awesome Car Dennis!! I agree, nicest ORIGINAL '72 I have seen. Don't know what y'all paid, but I think it is worth every penny. Congratulations!!

    That is a nice find. Not many original owner cars that look like that still around. My dad has his dad's [my grandfather] 67 mustang, all original but not that clean but a blast to drive every now and then. Texas panhandle area car.

    Bought me a used 72 Chevelle SS one time and it had a 283 4 speed clutch in it and a friend of mines brother that went off to college had a built 350 sitting in their dads garage so I bought it from him and stuck it in and it ran fantastic for me for many years.

    I ordered a new 1972 SS Chevelle 350, Cranberry Red Metallic. That 1972 350/4 was the biggest dog I have ever seen or heard of. It did come with a 12 bolt rearend. I miraculously found a 1970 LT-1 350 engine out of a YENKO Nova that had nearly no miles on it and did a transplant. 4:88 gears and converted the automatic to a BW Super T-10 . It was a street racing killing machine ! Really miss that combo...

    I'm a big Mopar freak but I will definitely give a thumbs up to this car. It happens to be my favorite year of Chevelle and also for the Heavy Chevy. Also from 1972 is probably my favorite Roadrunner with the GTX package. Congratulations on the purchase.
