Equipment
402/240hp, automatic, power steering and brakes, added Edelbrock intake manifold and headers, air conditioning, SS wheels, vinyl roof, console and AM/FM radio, hood pins.
Condition
Good paint. Deck lid is out of alignment and the doors are slightly uneven. The bumpers appear replaced and the brightwork appears new. The engine compartment is very clean. The underbody has been redone and has some minor road grime. The interior is very clean and orderly. A good looking Chevelle with tasteful upgrades. An excellent driver but nothing extraordinary. Power was well down in the Chevelle by 1972, but it looked just as good and in loud colors like this is just as attention-grabbing as an earlier car.
Market commentary
Mecum's presale estimate was a litle bit ambitious and so were the consignor's expectations. The reported high bid was a fine offer, and really should have been taken if there was money close to it.
