Chevrolet's Chevelle is a legendary nameplate in classic car circles now, but back in its heyday, it was just another Chevy, competing in the mid-size segment from 1964 to 1972. Chevy offered the Chevelle in a dizzying array of body styles, including two- and four-door sedans, two- and four-door hardtops, convertibles, coupes, coupe utilities, and station wagons. There was a Chevelle for everyone, with a choice of in-line six or V8 power. Of course, Chevy wanted to go after the muscle car crowd as well, hence the Super Sport or SS models. This 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle SS is one of those, a survivor of the muscle car era and a highly desirable classic in 2023.
Exterior and Interior
Showcasing a classy blue exterior, this 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle SS sees black racing stripes adorning the exterior for added sportiness. Being of the second generation which debuted in 1968, the 1972 model year saw a new single-unit side marker and parking lamp design, plus a revised grille design. This was typical of Chevy at the time, to create some small revision or update to their cars for every model year. Inside, this 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle SS sports a black leather upholstered interior that's reportedly original, with blue floor mats and a set of bench seats. You'll also note that the radio is the original unit, and everything else looks period-correct. You won't find automatic dual-zone climate control, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto or any of the other technological fripperies that we enjoy on contemporary automobiles, as the Sixties and Seventies were a totally different era. Instead, people talked to each other, listened to songs via the radio, and opened a window when it turned warm.
Engine
Of course, you'd also want to open a window of this 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle SS each time you awaken its 402ci (6.6L) big-block V8, with its thunderous roar under full throttle. The 1972 Chevelle SS was rated at 270hp net, which refers to power at the wheels. Calculating backward, the actual power output of the engine at the crank must have been nearer 350hp. A 700R4 automatic transmission sends drive to the rear wheels, allowing you to exert maximum control over how much rubber is laid with each takeoff.
The 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle SS Convertible is the kind of car that distills the classic American muscle era down to its essentials: big-block power, rear-wheel drive, bold SS styling, and the ability to drop the top and enjoy all of it in the open air. Finished in Cranberry Red over Black, this example has the visual drama to match its mechanical character, with black hood stripes, 15-inch 5-spoke SS wheels, and chrome bumpers giving it the right period stance. Underneath, the 396ci big-block V8 is backed by a TH400 3-speed automatic and a 12-bolt rear end with 3.73 gearing, a combination that gives this Chevelle the kind of low-end punch and cruising character enthusiasts associate with Chevrolet’s muscle-car heyday. Power steering, power front disc brakes, and Vintage Air climate control add usability without dulling the experience, making this a car that can be enjoyed for more than just short weekend drives.
The 1964 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu SS Sport Coupe helped establish the formula that would soon define the American muscle-car era, and this example carries that character with a period-style 327ci V8, four-speed manual, and PosiTraction rear end. Showing approximately 86,570 miles, it is finished in black over a Medium Aqua vinyl interior and combines the clean lines of the first-year Chevelle SS with several tasteful performance upgrades. An Edelbrock intake, four-into-one headers, heavy-duty cooling radiator, Hurst shifter, and power-assisted front disc brakes all contribute to a package that feels purpose-built for an enthusiast who appreciates classic V8 power and manual-shift involvement.
American muscle meets modern engineering in this 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle Restomod, a professionally built classic that delivers vintage styling with significantly enhanced performance and drivability. Showing 2,836 miles, this Chevelle is finished in Red over a custom Black/Red interior and benefits from a comprehensive build centered around a 383ci Stroker V8, Tremec 6-speed manual transmission, and a custom chassis. With upgraded suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, modern interior appointments, and unmistakable SS styling, this Chevelle offers the timeless appeal of one of Chevrolet's most iconic muscle cars while providing a driving experience that is far more refined than stock.
The 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air is one of the most recognizable American cars ever built, but this example takes the familiar Tri-Five formula and gives it a much stronger performance edge. Showing approximately 8,660 miles, this 2-door sedan restomod pairs the unmistakable ‘57 Bel Air body with a 400ci V8, Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, five-speed manual transmission, and a long list of carefully chosen upgrades. Finished in red over a red and black interior, it blends classic Chevrolet styling with modernized drivability through power brakes, aftermarket air conditioning, upgraded instrumentation, and a more performance-focused chassis and exhaust setup.
The 1977 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe represents the later evolution of the C3, and this example brings a particularly appealing ownership story to the table. Showing approximately 72,741 miles, it is powered by an L48 350ci V8 with a Quadrajet 4-barrel carburetor and a 3-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission. Finished in red over a black leather interior, it retains the classic C3 formula with removable T-top roof panels, Rally wheels, 4-wheel power disc brakes, and dual exhaust. Even more notable, the current owner reports that this has been a single-owner car and that they have been the sole driver since new.
The 1982 Chevrolet Corvette marked the end of the C3 era, making it a fitting final chapter for one of the Corvette’s most recognizable generations. This example shows approximately 50,346 miles and pairs its 350ci L83 V8 with Cross-Fire electronic fuel injection and a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission. Finished in silver with a dark gray lower accent over a light gray leather interior, it carries the unmistakable late-C3 look with removable glass T-tops, factory alloy wheels, raised-white-letter tires, and the model’s sculpted front and rear aero treatment. An aftermarket air conditioning system adds a useful modern touch to a car that still feels very much rooted in the early-1980s Corvette experience.
