During the Golden Age of muscle cars, there were so many options to choose from that you really couldn't go wrong with almost any of the Big Three's offerings. One of those high-powered choices was a car like this 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 Tribute. From the outset, its fully repainted silver body and black racing stripes make it clear that this car means business. Shimmering 18-inch American Racing Torq Thrust II wheels shod in 225/45ZR-18 front and 255/45ZR-18 rear BF Goodrich rubber .....
also hint at the fact that this Chevelle might not be exactly how it showed up from the factory, in the best ways possible.
This car really begins to show off under the hood. Gone is the original motor, and in its stead is a bigger, badder 1990-91 Mark IV short-deck 454 cubic-inch big block V-8. Feeding that big motor is a single four-barrel carburetor, while a set of long tube headers disperse with spent gasses out through a sweet-sounding FlowMaster exhaust. Power is sent from that rat motor to a TH400 three-speed automatic transmission and out to a ten-bolt rear end. Coil springs, shocks, and sway bars comprise the majority of the suspension, while power discs up front and power drums at the rear handle stopping duties.
