1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Concours Estate Wagon With Ss Trim Package And More on 2040-cars

Year:1972 Mileage:0

Napa, California, United States

This 1972 Chevelle wagon is Very Clean and Nice. A very thorough resto-mod was done a few years ago including the Super Sport style trim and big block hood. The hard to find tilt steering, roof rack and rear window air deflector were added options.

The wagon has cold air conditioning that is converted to a 134a system.

New tires are mounted on the Corvette Rally wheels. The receiver type hitch was installed to tow a boat to the lake for family fun. An additional right side gas tank was also added where the spare tire well is. The spare is now under the floor in the rear storage compartment.

The 2-way tailgate works great and of course the rear power window works fine.

Nearly all the weather strips, window seals and channels were replaced when the car was repainted. For all you Numbers-Guys, the paint code is 26 I think the color is called Mulsanne Blue.

Great car to drive. Impeccable care and maintenance has been given. Look Very close at ALL photos. This is an above average Chevelle, ready to enjoy!

The level of quality here makes you wonder why would anyone buy a “new-car” when they have no personality and no resale value. These great cars that were made up to 1972 had style, dependability and value. This an investment quality Chevelle.

The "book numbers" suggest where the price would be for an average car of this make and model. Since this one is certainly above average, take a look at the numbers and I think you get an idea where the value of this Chevelle should be.

NOTE: I did not enter the odometer reading. I could do this, but I don't even know for sure if it is an original speedometer or not. Seems to me that if I have not had a car since new and have no original documentation that it is correct, I should not post whatever it says, so I don't.

My reserve is very reasonable for what you are getting here. 

I have MANY photos I can share for bidders. Including chassis, floors, rockers, bottom of doors, any areas I can reach with a camera, I can send a photo.

ALSO Included is a custom-made fitted matching color water replant cover. Yes, I have a road test video as well. I am not sure how to include a link here.

Good Luck Bidding!

Thanks for all the questions. Hope a few more details help!

The front suspension and steering has been rebuilt, new bushings, springs, ball joints and shocks. New center link, tie rods and idler arm. Heavy duty sway bar on front with new links and bushings, yes it also has a rear swap bar. The rear end is the LARGE GM 8-bolt. I have MANY photos of the chassis and enough details so you can see original sheet-metal under there that still has the original blue paint visible to show it is authentic.

Many more photos can be sent but I am not sure if I can attach them to the reply. Let me know if you want more info or pictures. Happy to send it all.

The intake is an Edelbrock with a Holly spread-bore vacuum secondary electric choke carb.

Reserve is at the upper end for an original car if you look at price guides, that is where we are with this one- This nice, hard to find. There was one that sold the other side of 20 grand. I think I need to be right in that area. Already turned away a couple of real solid offers. You need to reach a little deeper to make it happen.

Thank You for all the interest and I hope my replies to every email has helped.

2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year entries announced

Wed, Jul 6 2016

Over 40 vehicles will compete for the 2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year awards. If that name looks a little strange, it's because the competition added a third category. In years past, pickup trucks, crossovers, SUVs, commercial vans, and minivans competed for the same award. That's why there were occasionally weird comparisons, like last year's competition between the Volvo XC90 and Nissan Titan XD. The new format separates pickups and commercial vans into the truck contest and CUVs, SUVs, and minivans into the utility competition. A complete list of eligible vehicles is below, but here are a few highlights. For one, the entire list of entries has a luxurious lean. Of the 43 vehicles, nearly half of them are from premium brands. There are two eligible Bentleys – the Bentayga and Mulsanne – the Rolls-Royce Dawn, Jaguar F-Pace, Audi Q7, and the Mercedes-Benz GLS-, E-, and S-Class Maybach. The performance ranks are lofty, too, with the Audi R8, Acura NSX, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Mercedes SL- and SLC-Class, Porsche 718, and F-150 Raptor. The mainstream entries are just as comprehensive. From the Chrysler Pacifica to the Chevrolet Cruze to the Fiat 124 Spider to the Mitsubishi Mirage, NACTOY has covered an enormous price range with this year's contestants. Of course, these are only the eligible vehicles. They'll need to run through three rounds of judging, starting in September at NACTOY's traditional Hell, MI, test drive. The Canadian and American journalists involved in the judging will announce this year's nine finalists – three in each category – on December 6.

Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado, Toyota Tundra flunk IIHS headlight test

Tue, Oct 25 2016

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety put pickup truck headlights to the test and found that the majority of them were equipped with subpar units. The 2017 Honda Ridgeline was the only truck to earn a rating of "good." The large pickup truck test was comprised of the: 2016 to 2017 GMC Sierra, 2017 Nissan Titan, 2016 Ram 1500, 2016 to 2017 Chevrolet Silverado, 2016 to 2017 Ford F-150, and 2016 to 2017 Toyota Tundra. The Sierra's headlights earned a rating of "acceptable," the headlights found on the Titan and Ram 1500 were found to be "marginal," and the ones on the Silverado, F-150, and Tundra were rated as "poor." IIHS claims the F-150 was the most disappointing out of the large pickup trucks as both its halogen and optional LED headlights failed to provide adequate visibility during testing. The Ridgeline (which earned a "good rating"), is usually considered a midsize or small truck, though IIHS included it in the field of large pickups. The headlights on the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado, 2016 GMC Canyon, 2016 Nissan Frontier, and 2016 to 2017 Toyota Tacoma, which made up the small pickup truck group, all earned a rating of "poor." The IIHS claimed the Colorado had the worst headlights of any truck that was tested, as the base vehicle's units were only able to illuminate up to 123 feet in front of the car. The Ridgeline's headlights, for reference, were able to illuminate up to 358 feet in front of the vehicle. To conduct its test, the IIHS utilizes a special tool to measure how far light is projected out of the headlights in different driving situations. The trucks' headlights were tested in a straight line and in corners, while vehicles with high-beam assist were given extra praise. The headlights on the pickup trucks also mimic the testing that was done on small SUVs and cars earlier this year. Next year, automakers will need to fit their vehicles with headlights that earn a rating of either good or acceptable to earn the IIHS Top Safety Pick+. Related Video:

Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.
