Description
Lot #982 - This stunning Pro-Touring 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle features just 460 miles since its restoration. Under the hood is a ground-pounding Tuff Dawg 454/505hp big-block Holley Sniper fuel-injected V8 engine complemented by a Street Fighter TCI 700R4 automatic transmission with 2,800-rpm stall converter. The engine and bay are completely customized, including a black powder-coated block, and all high-performance components were painted separately before assembly for a show-quality appearance. The gloss-painted engine bay also features big-block Chevrolet valve covers with ceramic-coated headers followed with a custom dual 3-inch performance exhaust. The paint and body are stunning and restored to show standards in a custom mix of "blackened gloss" exterior paint with a fully functional air-induction SS stripe delete big-block hood and SS stripe delete decklid. Chassis and suspension components include big 4-wheel Wilwood disc brakes, Global West tubular A-arms, Hotchkis springs, and Global West sway bars and trailing arms, creating the perfect stance on new 20-inch custom wheels. The interior has been completely restored, including buckets and console interior, custom Covan molded fiberglass dash with carbon-fiber ultra-lite AutoMeter gauges, custom Bowtie tilt steering wheel with chrome column and full custom Bluetooth stereo system with custom-mounted speakers. The underside is detailed with fully powder-coated blackened paint - including chassis, springs, gas tank and undercarriage - to show-quality standards, with a highly detailed performance 12-bolt Currie posi-traction rear end with T/A girdle cover and QA1 adjustable shocks. Additional engine specifications are a 4-inch stroke nodular iron crank, 6.135-inch forged rods with ARP rod bolts, new forged domed pistons, deck head gasket, hydraulic flat tappet cam, large oval port heads, 2.190 Int/1.880 EXH stainless valves with undercut stems for performance flow, 1.44-inch high-performance springs with dampeners set up to match the cam, 1.7 roller tip rockers, double-row timing set, high-volume oil pump with steel driveshaft, revolutionary one-piece-design molded rubber oil pan gasket with load limiters and brass expansion plug. It also has a full MSD ignition and billet distributor with SSBC prop valve and an aluminum radiator.
