Interesting '72 Chevelle, 350/4-sp, Donation Vehicle
 

Pretty uncommon to see a Chevelle donated to an animal shelter, but here it is. The seller doesn't seem to believe this is a Super Sport - but I'm thinking it might be due to the non-gauge round instrument dash that would have been an SS-only piece (but then, there's the 10-bolt and lack of F41 that's implying it's a non-SS car). In any case the VIN confirms it was ordered with the L48 4bbl 350.

Has some concerning rusty spots, but definitely restorable.

I’m actually 90% sure in thinking that you could order the gauge package on a non SS BB car. Years ago I found a Canadian documented 350 Chevelle convertible , that had the gauges….
I was surprised to say the least …
I will look around and see if I can find my old info on the car, but only one I ever saw …
Anybody else ever see or hear of this?

You could definitely order U14 with V8 Malibus, but this car has the non-gauge round dash which would only have been offered on base SS and Monte Carlos.

There is no trim tag picture but judging by the VIN sequence, this car was assembled late February of 1972 at the Van Nuys plant. It should have a seat belt warning light on the dash by the cigarette lighter. It’s a pretty bad picture but I don’t see it there.

I don’t remember the month in 1972 production
That they put in the seat belt warning light.
Bu I had 2 72s one with the seat. Belt light
And one without the seat belt
Light

January 1, 1972 was the official date that it was required by law although some plants added the system early, even months in advance.
