It was an all original numbers matching 1967 SS......LOL. No it was a really nice no rust 72 SS CLONE. It had a 454 but it was weak. It was not without it's issues and I felt I was putting more money into it and trying to make myself love this 72 when really I would much prefer a 67 or 69. Or a 67 or 69 Camaro. 68 - 70 Charger. 67 - 70 Mustang fastback. 68 - 77 Cutlass. In the end it was just a 72 Malibu with the SS trimmings. I didn't build the car but felt it could have been done MUCH better. But as I said it had some issues that I did not want to deal with.
My Father in Law gave us his 65 Mustang that needs restored but is a SUPER solid car to build. He isn't in the greatest health and I would like to get it done soon. Not going to happen as long as I have the Chevelle. Plus I had already paid a buddy to do some work on the Chevelle so when I got rid of it I gave him the pro touring front suspension I had to put on my Chevelle plus what I had already given him and he is going to restore the Mustang for me. Body work (little bit) paint and assembly.
Plus it was easy to trade the Chevelle since I already had another car paid for and I would ride my Suzuki 5 times more than that car. Sold the Suzuki when I got the Harleys. Dont miss the car and never looked back. Plus I got a lot of extra stuff in the trade including a trailer.

Love the bikes though.

I used to own a 1972 Challenger with a 440 ( once had a 383 in it, and was swapped for a fresh 440 when I bought it ) that car was fast...theres something bout the sound of a big block mopar thats sweet.
I'd love to get a 1969 Mustang fastback one day and transplant a 90's era 5.0 litre, 5 speed in it. Then drive it like a stole it.
Good luck finding one for a decent price these days though.
