Few names from the Golden Age of muscle cars inspire more intimidation and respect than the Chevelle. In fact, the only way to make one of GM's baddest cars even meaner is to use modern technology to improve its performance. That thinking is why this 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu SS Restomod is the perfect choice for anyone looking for a powerful old-school-meets-new-school vehicle that turns heads everywhere it goes. Fully repainted in its original Orange Flame exterior paint, a 1972-only option, this car also sports dual full-length black racing stripes to give it an even more imposing presence.
Inside, we find a well-appointed, correct-looking interior that has been subtly upgraded. A custom three-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel sits before a three-pod digital/analog hybrid gauge cluster. An AM/FM/Aux RetroRadio handles tunes while the center console and staple-style shifter add a touch of practical flair. An aftermarket air-conditioning system is the perfect addition to keep your legs from sticking to the custom white vinyl-trimmed Strato bucket seats.
Under the cowl hood of this Chevelle sits a modern 5.3-liter LS Vortec V-8. With its aluminum block and 862 aluminum heads, this small block has a power-to-weight ratio better than almost originally available in 1972. Using electronic fuel injection, shorty-style headers, and a dual exhaust capped off with a sweet-sounding FlowMaster exhaust, this Chevelle has plenty of bark to back up its wicked bite. That power gets routed through a 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission before being sent out to a ten-bolt rear.

This 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle SS Restomod rides on a lowered suspension and features a set of staggered U.S. Mags wheels. Seventeen-inch units up front are shod in 215/45ZR-17 Kendo rubber, while bigger eighteen-inch wheels are wrapped in wider 295/40ZR-18 tires in back, giving this car a menacing stance from any angle. Power steering and power front disc brakes add just enough convenience to make driving fun without being work. If you've always loved and wanted a classic Chevelle but also enjoy the perks of modern engineering, this car combines the best of both worlds and is just the one you've been waiting for.
