1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu

Striking 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu that captures the muscular presence of Chevrolet’s most celebrated A-body era while delivering the big-block punch enthusiasts crave. Beautifully refinished in her original Orange Flame — the very color that inspired her name — this Chevelle wears a purposeful cowl hood and bold black SS stripes that give her genuine, head-turning attitude. The paint and body show extremely well, with only a few minor flaws noted in the photos. Beneath that cowl hood lives a stout 454ci big-block V8, treated to Holley induction and Hooker long-tube headers, backed by a heavy-duty TCI TH400 automatic and a 12-bolt rear with an Eaton POSI and 3.73 gears. For the discerning collector seeking a well-sorted, big-block Chevelle with authentic character and everyday drivability, Fias deserves your serious consideration.
