Time capsule 410 miles..wow

[Mr70]

I remember that on yours Mark.
Interesting that this Time Capsule has silver accented turn signal,Hi-beam & parking brake indicators around the Speedometer.
On this car,I would like to see it in person better and see if they are indeed Vacuum metalized or Testors paint pen.

Who was the knuckel head that installed the hood pins? They were only on ZL2 Cowl Induction flapper hoods. Non flapper cars did not get the pins, at least on the 396 and 454's. If the 350 did then it's news to me.

In 1972,the hood pins were standard on ALL Chevelles with the Super Sport or Heavy Chevy package,regardless of engine size or hood design.

The entire fender look like a different color to me. I think its legit.
:. The buildsheets on the frame help support the low milage in my opinion.

If it is true milage then it needs to be driven 89 more miles to be officially broken in.
I'm just curious to know how someone could have this car this long and not have driven it.
Low milage, like 3-5k or under 50k or so is one thing, but under 500?
I always wonder how its possible...that car logged 12.5 miles per year?

Those %#*(@# parking brake releases turned white if they never saw the sun. Dont go by that.

Wait a second. Let me figure this out. 411 original miles???? Hmmm.

Ad says original woman owner since new her name Amelia, bought in 1972 in California. I see a 1976 registration for a Cris Carrier as the legal owner who lives in Hartford, CT. The other owner flew out to CA from CT to drive the car and then leave it in CA? You do the math.

Did two owners decide that this small block Chevelle was worth saving for the future? Plus look better then it did new?


Are we to think this car was towed on a trailer everywhere all it's life??

I myself do not believe it.

[/ QUOTE ] I bet it didn't...I don't doubt it sat dormant and undisturbed without any driving at all for many years. There are plenty of super low mile cars out there that sit in garages all sealed up with no plans of moving. How many 78-82-93 Indy Pace Cars are tucked away, Cosworth Vegas, 454SS pickups...seems there's one in every other town. I wouldn't be surprised if the car has had some minor restoration and preventative maintence (i.e. paintin' & shinin' ) to make it look as strong as it does today, but to totally discredit the mileage of this car w/o seeing it in person is a bit hasty IMO. It's only having 200 odd miles as late as '76 shows it was living a sheltered life in it's early years. By 1976 everyone was well aware that there wasn't much in the line of perfomance cars being offered anymore...plus considering what a '76 Malibu looks like, I'd have probably sat on this super low mile '72 if I could too. Don't hate...appreciate.

[/ QUOTE ] My point exactly...in 20 years people will be saying no way and but there are lots of cars "tucked away" like that.
