This 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu convertible was acquired by the seller in 2014, reportedly from the original owner, and subsequently refurbished and modified. The car is finished in Carbon Schwartz with a blue soft top and it rides on a UMI suspension kit and staggered-diameter American Racing wheels mounted over four-wheel disc brakes. Power is provided by a 6.2-liter LS3 V8 mated to a four-speed automatic transmission and a Moser 12-bolt rear axle with a limited-slip differential. The cabin is outfitted with Procar seats trimmed in black vinyl along with Vintage Air climate control, power windows, a Pioneer touchscreen head unit, and aftermarket audio components. Further equipment includes Hedman headers, billet hood hinges, and an aluminum radiator with dual electric fans. This Chevelle convertible is offered with a clean California title in the seller’s name.
The body was refinished during the build, reportedly in the BMW shade of Carbon Schwartz Metallic, and a blue soft top was installed on a replacement frame. Further details include halo headlights, dual side mirrors, chrome bumpers, and black grille trim. The finish on the right corner of the trunk is cracked.
Polished American Racing 18″ front and 20″ rear wheels wear staggered-width Cooper Zeon RS3-E tires. The car rides on a UMI stage 2 suspension kit with tubular control arms and sway bars and is equipped with rack-and-pinion steering. Stopping power is provided by hydroboost four-wheel discs with red calipers and slotted/drilled rotors.
The Procar front bucket and rear bench seats are upholstered in black vinyl and are joined by a custom center console. Appointments include Vintage Air climate control, a Lokar shifter, a Clifford alarm system, power windows, and a Pioneer touchscreen head unit linked with an aftermarket amplifier, subwoofer, and speakers.
The aftermarket steering wheel sits on a Flaming River tilting column and frames a Dakota Digital 160-mph speedometer, tachometer, and fuel gauge. The five-digit odometer shows 6k miles, which is said to represent the mileage added since the build was completed. Total mileage is unknown.
The hood opens on Eddie Motorsports billet hinges to reveal a 6.2-liter LS3 V8 that was installed in 2018. It is equipped with a polished intake pipe, billet accessory pulleys, Hedman headers, and a Griffin aluminum radiator with dual electric fans.
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a 4L80 four-speed automatic transmission and a 12-bolt Moser rear end with a limited-slip differential and 3.73:1 gears. The frame was powder-coated during the refurbishment, according to the seller, and a MagnaFlow exhaust system was fitted.
