Chevrolet Camaro 1972 Description
Up for sale is my 1972 Camaro (Never thought I'd say that!)
Car was completely stripped down to shell and reassembled over 2 12 years.
Every part put back on is new or restored original pieces.
Extensive photo collection on Facebook or read the huge Project thread on NastyZ28.com/username Chevrolaine
This is a turn key ride and drive big block musclecar that is just at home cruising down the highway at 70mph as it is sitting in traffic at a cruise night.
It's Hugger Orange base coat/clear coat paint with white stripes is a sure attention getter no matter where you go. The mildly built 454 with the TH400 trans makes those miles go by effortlessly. Every suspension piece with the exception of the leaf springs is brand new so it rides like it's new. The new Autometer gauges in the Covan dash puts your mind at ease to monitor all of it's vital functions. Ad your own radio if you'd rather not listen to that sweet big block rumble through it's new full length 2 1/2" dual exhaust.
The fruits of my labor paid off at the 2013 Musclecar and Corvette Nationals where it scored 987/1000 points in the Street/Stock class for Fit, inish and Detail.
Cover car for 2015 NastyZ28.com calendar.
Car has just over a 1100 miles since completion 2 years ago and only selling due to the fact I just bought a 5th gen and enjoy it immensely and want to build an old chevy truck.
Car is for sale locally also and has no written or implied warranty.
