1972 Chevrolet Impala Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
The 1972 Impala was the last year a convertible trim was available, and only 6,456 of these were produced. The base engine remained a 250-ci V6 rated at 145 horsepower, but a 400-ci V8 rated at 170 horsepower was available.
The car was not touted as a racing vehicle, but as a smooth-riding family car. There were a few problems with these cars, including "Badge of Excellence" a crack that appeared so routinely in 1972 (and other early-70s) Impalas that owners joked they should have been noted in the spec sheets.
Ample parts are available for 1972 Impalas, and they remain popular restoration and tuning projects.

To be honest I love everything about this car! This is my 4th classic car and by far the best yet. It doesn't matter if I'm driving to the store or it's sitting in the driveway, literally everyone can't take their eyes off of it and everyday since I've had it at least 5 people per day either say "nice car", ask if they can buy it, ask about it in general, take pictures, or just stare at it and give me the thumbs up. It does need some engine work and a paint job and little minor things but that's nothing compared to all the pros it has and the potential of being the best 1972 Impala in town and it being a good investment. I was blessed to have bought it for $3,500 and the way it is now is the way I bought it. So far I've done small things to the engine that had to be done and I look forward to what it will be once I've done all that's needed Apr 18, 2015

This car is a great buy for someone looking to restore. Has great value for oringinal parts if you are a parts person. Car has not been garaged and needs paint. Car runs very smoothly and would be worth fixing. 400 motor. Interior worn, some minor rips. Exterior looks good at different angles, needs minor body work on left door from a scrape and run. Handles very well.Mar 09, 2011

BIGtrunk powerfull 350 motor, looks,ride parts are still avilable
custum rear glass ac,You feel good driving such a large
powerful car and gas consumption doesn't bother you since it's
a fun car and not an everyday clunker
big cars are safer when driven properly and are attractive to
tourist who will stop you to get pictures of you them and the
car you meet new people all the time and make new friends
at car shows no matter how bad yhour old car is it's still a

My 1972 Chevrolet Impala convertible was a nice car. 350, auto, power steering and brakes, tilt, cruise, aluminum rims. that was a nice car to have. It rode nice, handled nice. the bottoms of them rust out like no other though. Luckly they make the replacement 1/4 panels. If you love muscle car styling with a little more comfort and with power a early 70's Impala is the way to go.Oct 23, 2008

It has more room than in my golf cart, but the golf cart is better made, has better looks and pulls in more women. I got this car for the paint color. I painted my house the same color and used the car as a paint chip for the paint store to match.May 02, 2008

I was the second owner of a 72 Conv. It was a strong car, a smooth car, solid and dependable. If it broke it was fixable. The looks were amazing, simple but stylish. I would drive mine under a full moon with all of the dash lights turned low and it was like driving in a black hole. I am looking for one today to replace that one.Jan 24, 2008

This is the best car I have ever ridden in she drives so smooth you dont even feel her shift. We bought her off eBay and i'l tell you she is the best vehicle we have ever bought and I wouldn't trade her for anything, but my dad wants an impala convertible so we are in the processes of restoring her originality and we have her up for sale, but I will tell you she is my favorite daily driver and I love her and my kids love her!Feb 01, 2007

Parking brake line
I switched out my 72 impala rear end with the rear from a 96 impala ss. The original rear had drum brakes and the ss has disc brakes, everything bolted right up with no problem. I noticed that the E brake cables on the 96 ss were way longer than the ones on the original rear and it also has a different fitting on the end that connects to the inner side of the caliper, the fitting is connected to a hook that locks the brakes when you step on the pedal. I have no I sea how to make this work the original cables on the 72 rear end are 37.062 inches and the one on the 96 ss rear end are almost or about 73 inches! Does anyone have an answer so I can get this tool in care of ASAP!???? I put a pic of the 96 ss parking brake cable piece that is not on the original rears cable
