The 1972 Chevelle seemed to be following in the tread marks of other muscle cars of the time, declining in power to meet emissions standards.
A new rule had engines reporting their net horsepower rather than their gross, so power numbers fell through the floor.
The 350-ci V8 was now rated at 175 horsepower, even though the engine did not change. The top engine was the LS5 available in the SS 454, rated at 270 horsepower.
The exterior was not changed much from the 1971 model, except that single-unit front turn signals were introduced.
What owners say
"Owners of the 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle have a deep affection for this classic car, particularly praising its impressive power and performance. Many loved the distinctive styling and the fun driving experience it provides. On the downside, some drivers noted issues with fuel efficiency and the challenges of restoration, especially when the car is in rough shape."
I love the sound with dual Flowmasters and a 454!!!!!
June 24, 2008Factory 402, super acceleration, handling is touchy, car was equipped for racing (never raced)so this is a car for someone who can control the power. Never been wrecked, only 73000 actual miles, always garaged. No rust anywhere, interior in very good condition, and this car is a ball to drive!

March 1, 2010This car is a classic with a 350 small block (I know I listed it as an SS because Malibu wasn't an option). It's a restoration project of mine. Excellent styling and power, as well as luxury. An American classic for sure.
August 12, 2009I loved this car, it had plenty of power, would pull the front wheels off the ground. It was fast, and never gave me a bad time
March 6, 2008350 V8, dual exhausts and a power top.
January 16, 2008Bought the car in very ruff shape and have been restoring. I have done all the paint, body, and all other work myself
January 15, 2008it is a great classic car actually the last year car to be considered a classic car. It is also in the muscle care era so has a lot of horsepower depending on hat size motor it has in it.
July 8, 2010The '72 Chevelle was the third and final year that shared the immediately recognizable body line that was introduced for 1970 Chevelle. Closely resembling the 1971, it carried over the dual taillights inset in the rear bumper, and the single headlights up front. Even lower horsepower still after the gas crisis in the early ‘70s, but that is easily fixed with some cheap and easy bolt on parts. This car is great for any Classic car lover who wants a fun reliable old car that has loads of aftermarket parts available all over the USA and Canada.
January 28, 2008The reason i like this car so much is my dad and i did the restoration together, and that means a lot to me. A reason i dislike driving it is the only thing is cant pass is a gas station. lol.
