Classic Car parts for the 1972 Classic Chevelle Restoration and Information

Classic Car Parts Co.

Classic Car Parts is proud to present the 1972 Classic Chevelle.

1972 saw the final cut in performance of the Classic Chevelle, the end of an era is at hand this will be the last year the Chevelle will be produced by GM.

Any V8 Chevelle could be ordered with the SS package, including the 307 V8. The Super Sport was no longer a badge of distinction. At the same time GM changed how engine net ratings would be reported, all engines would be designated by the net horse power, this did not however change the engine power. The 350 V8 decreased to 175bhp, the 402 (formally the 396) to 240bph, and the 454 to 270bhp.

The new philosophy of GM was in full swing, for performance fans the end of an exciting era. It would be over twenty years before performance would once again be king
