Car looks Awesome!
I may have asked this before but was the car originally painted Black? Black was not an option in 72 unless special ordered. Would love to see this car in person. It has to be the Ultimate 72 Chevelle.

I had always assumed it was midnight bronze which sometimes looks black unless it’s in direct sunlight. If it is special order black, that just makes it so much cooler.

Today, I had the pleasure to take the car for a ride and it is a beast and much more than I ever had in any automobile. It is very strong and I still need to test all the new parts and to ensure all is working as required.

At this point, I only have 5 miles on the car so I need to learn how it operates.

I have the car buffed out and added the Motion Emblems to make it offical on the body. I will provide a driving video when I can you can hear the M22 wine and the sidepipes doing their thing..

Enjoy, Mark

Wonderful job saving this piece of Motion history, I look forward to some wheel and tire change-ups. The original slots and bias-plys would really top off the look!
