Overview of 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu SS Tribute For Sale by Owner

In 1963, Chevrolet had a rocking line-up. The Corvette had been in production for ten years and was going strong, the Nova was doing well in the compact segment and the full-size segment was catered to by the Biscayne, Bel Air and Impala. What they didn’t have a competitor in, was the mid-size segment and this was rectified by the arrival of the Chevelle. For three generations across thirteen years, the Chevelle would be produced, including in range-topping Malibu trim, until the Malibu nameplate took over in 1978. This car is a second-generation 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu SS Tribute with a reported frame-off restoration, a host of upgrades and just 2,000 miles on the clock after it all.

Exterior and Interior

The second-generation Chevelle would see a new design with sculpted body, tapered front fenders and a more rounded beltline. This 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu SS Tribute is painted in a glorious Mulsanne Blue shade and rolls on black 15-inch alloy wheels shod with meaty Cooper GT Radials of size 225/60R15. SS badges throughout the car complete the tribute, as do black-painted dual hood and tail stripes. Windows were tinted for added privacy by the current owner. The interior sports a black color theme and offers seating for four occupants. The iconic SS two-spoke steering wheel is present, as is a redone center console and shift panel. The seller also reports that this car sports an updated AC system which is a much welcome creature comfort during warmer times. A new stereo was also reportedly installed by the current owner for some smooth driving tunes that befit such a car when not pressing on. All chrome bits on the interior look great as well.

Engine

This 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu SS Tribute packs a relatively modern 6.0L LQ4 Gen 3 V8 engine that sends a reported 700hp to the rear wheels via a rebuilt 4L80 automatic transmission with shift kit, 3.73 gear ratio with air locker and 12-bolt rear end. The engine has reportedly received a rebuild too, ensuring that this car should be a reliable runner, and one mean contender when the pedal meets the metal.
