1972 Chevy Chevelle

Wallpaper Description:

The ’64-72 midsize GM A-body is arguably the height of the muscle car genre. Millions were made back in the day and they were a ubiquitous sight on city streets and highways across America; virtually every family had one in some form. So significant was the GM A-body that it’s generally acknowledged that the curtain closed on the muscle car era simultaneous to the end of its production, and the ’72 Chevelle was perhaps the most well known of the vintage.

At the ripe ol’ age of 22, Jason Vendetto bought his 402ci big-block ’72 Chevelle for $7,000. That was back in 1999, and as Jason succinctly put it: “Boy, there aren’t too many deals like this out there anymore!” Other than putting on new front and rear bumpers, a polished aluminum front spoiler, and a Holley 650-cfm carb, the Chevelle is just as Jason bought it 12 years ago. The minimal mods give Jason’s Chevelle a clean day-two look that is sought after today. Living out on Long Island, there are no drag race or road race venues for Jason to flog his prized possession at, but that only makes him want to even more. “Long Island has no dragstrip—the one we had closed down years ago. Somebody out there help us!”
