1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Ss 402ci, 4spd **matching Numbers** --- Not A Clone! on 2040-cars

Year:1972 Mileage:63861
Location:

Dudley, Massachusetts, United States

Dudley, Massachusetts, United States

Up for auction is a beautiful 1972 ground up restoration with all items completely rebuilt or new. It has flawless paint (black/gold stripes) with vinyl roof (mint condition) and is a matching numbers vehicle. Yes, this is a legit SS with a LS3 402ci paired with a 4spd Muncie transmission. It is for the most part original with the exception of aftermarket wheels and several chrome/high performance parts. It has 410 gears and clutch replaced in 2005. The interior is in great conditon except for a small tear in he driver's seat. For anyone seriously interested in this vehicle, I can scan/email you a copy of the appraisal written back in 2006. I also have additional pictures available but the listing only allowed me to put 24 pics on here. I have over 100 pics in all. If you want any pics of anything specific, I can get those as well.

The vehicle was appraised in 2007 for $47,000 and the vehicle is in better condition now than when it was appraised! The engine compartment was not repainted/refreshed until this past Fall. As the pictures show, the car is trophy material.

This vehicle is being listed for a close friend of mine. Oddly enough, while he has been the owner for the past 8 years, the car was owned by my father-in-law back in 1974 (he sold it to buy a wedding ring.......yes, bad move, I agree) and a couple other local car enthusiasts prior to him purchasing the vehicle in 2006. The vehicle, ever since 1972, was owned by locals within roughly 20 miles from the original showroom floor (Knight Chevrolet in Southbridge MA).

The vehicle did not originally come with the gold stripes. Those were added in the early 1990's personally by the owner, who worked for a local well known auto body.....they look amazing. This Chevelle is accident free and hopefully finds a new owner who will appreciate it as much as the past owners have.

I'll be adding more details this week but if you have any questions in the meantime, I'll certainly try and get them answered ASAP. Again, since all the owners are locals, I can likely get any/all questions answered fully regarding the history of the Chevelle.

Just a few things to add so I don't get the same questions over and over..........

~~ No trades unless it involves a bank check for the sale price. Again, since somehow I still get at least 3-4 requests for trades each time this listing is renewed........no trades so please don't ask.

~~ Please do not email me stating something like, "How much if I pay you CASH.....?"     I'm just wondering, how else does anyone plan on paying? I don't take IOU's or checks from other countries, etc.

~~ The current owner is in no position to "need" to sell this car. He is looking for space in his garage and doesn't use the vehicle enough to justify it taking up the space. He is not selling it due to any mechanical issues with the vehicle, personal financial issues, etc.......just moving onto something new, that's all.

Thanks so much and best of luck bidding on this incredible toy/investment.

Personally, I wish I could afford to buy it and who knows, if the listing ends early, maybe it's because I finally got the right scratch ticket!! I'd certainly move some things around in my garage to find space for this head-turner!

Oh lastly, I was hoping to not have to put this in the listing but based on the number of email I receive regarding the subject I feel I should address it.....please don't email me with your own personal opinion as to the value/price of this vehicle. I would never in my life tell someone what they should be asking for something they are selling. If you feel this price is too high, that's perfectly OK, you are certainly entitled to your own "expert" opinion but please keep your thoughts to yourself.....some of the emails I've received are certainly less than professional. The appraisal was for $47k so while appraisals tend to be high, the asking price is within the "reasonable" category from how I see it.....especially with no "need" to sell this beautiful investment.

2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible is the track car for sun worshippers

Fri, 11 Apr 2014



Supercharged, 6.2-liter V8? Check. Seven-speed manual? Check. Obsession with weight? Check.
What did you expect when Chevrolet said it was bringing a new Corvette variant to the 2014 New York Auto Show? Maybe a sticker and trim package, like the C6 Corvette Grand Sport or a tie-in deal like the Black Widow car from Chicago? On the opposite end, maybe there was an even more hardcore Z06 waiting in the wings. Who knew?

GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.

GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.
