My new ride.72 SS402
 
Just picked up this 1972 Chevelle SS402 with 50K original miles.This 2 owner car came with a cowl hood, black bench,M20 4 SPD,3:31 12 bolt posi and Z15 SS package.It was painted once back in 1990.The 402 has headers and a Holley.It has a lumpy idle and is very quick for a 72 with only 240 HP.I think the motor was modded at one time.

I had it on the hoist today and noticed that shifter hole looks like it was cut with a torch even though it came from the factory with a 4 SPD.Has anyone seen this before?

Thanks.

The shifter hole in the Camaros was cut with a torch. I don't know about the Chevelles.

All three of my 69 chevelles look like they were cut with a torch!

Novas also.

From what I read over the years is that all the 4-speed holes were cut open with a torch at the factory. All three of my cars were done this way. So, yours is correct... Very nice car you bought there. Like the white with black stripes, don't see many in white.

72 antique white looks so much better than 70 classic white.

Hi Pete.
The car was sold out of Buffalo NY.It came with the GM Vintage forms.I thought cars had to be sold in Canada to get those forms.

I guess it was built in Canada to Qualify?Thanks for posting the pic.
