1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Sport Coupe 402
This 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Sport Coupe was originally delivered new to Bill Allen Chevrolet of Kansas City, Missouri. Powered by a 402ci LS3 V8 engine, it features a three-speed automatic transmission and a robust 12-bolt rear end with a Positraction limited-slip differential.
The current owner purchased the car in 1999 and completed a thorough refurbishment in 2002. During this restoration, the body was repainted in a striking red with black stripes, although the factory finish was originally Orange Flame. The seller notes that the body was refinished in 2001. Exterior details include a cowl hood with hood pins, SS badging, dual side mirrors, and dual exhaust outlets with rectangular finishers beneath the rear bumper. The 15″ SS wheels are fitted with 245/60 BFGoodrich Radial T/A white-letter tires (size P245/60R15).
Under the hood, the Turbo-Jet 402ci V8 is equipped with a four-barrel carburetor and was factory rated at 240 horsepower and 345 lb-ft of torque. The engine stamping and CTB suffix code confirm the 402ci LS3 V8 paired with the automatic transmission. The suspension and brakes were overhauled during the early 2000s refurbishment to ensure optimal performance. Power steering and power-assisted front disc brakes complement the braking setup, while rear drums complete the system.
Inside, the cabin features black vinyl upholstery with front bucket seats and a rear bench. The interior appointments include a horseshoe-style shifter, a center console, air conditioning, and a Custom Autosound stereo unit equipped with an auxiliary input. The tilting steering wheel frames a classic instrument cluster that includes a 120-mph speedometer, a 7,000-rpm tachometer, an analog clock, and gauges for amperage, fuel level, and coolant temperature.
The five-digit odometer reads approximately 27,000 miles, with around 3,000 miles added under current ownership.
