    This popped up yesterday. Chevelle but should bolt in.

    I’m
    picking up a 4 door ‘72 Skylark early next week. No interior parts are spoken for so far. The car is “all there” but worn a bit. Seats and such would be good to use to recover in the color/style you like if you’re interested

    Where are you located ?

    And, from the little bit I’ve been able to put together so far a lot of parts from a 72 Chevelle should be interchangeable too?

    I’m just north of Salt Lake in Bountiful. I would bet a LOT of 70-72 Chevelle parts will bolt on. (Aside from engine and body specific panels)

    This showed up tonight. Interior needs covers and stuff for the seats but I bet a LOT of the interior would clean up decently? There’s some emblems and other parts that might have some value? I’ll have a matched front/rear bumper set for sure. Likely a very nice (at least an “8” out of 10 —possibly a “9”?) rear bumper with the rubber strips and the bumper guards.

    let me know if you need anything. Not sure if it’s worth the 5 hour trip or not?

    Our manual is on its way - should be here tomorrow. It'll be good for us to dive into it and help with getting into the car more.

    Right now I think I need to replace the carb with one with a choke (probably a manual choke since it has an aftermarket intake and headers). Any ones better than others for a 455?

    Not looking for something too crazy/expensive since I think a Holley Sniper system may be down the road for us.
