No For Sale Sign But Interesting

We were out for a drive, I stopped to look at a tractor and just as I was getting back in the car I noticed these across the road in a trailer park. It was only when I got a little closer that I noticed the Heavy Chevy decals. I don't know much about Heavy Chevys but I would say the sheet metal paint and decals all looked original. You have to love the pass mirror and lug nuts, both cars appeared to be in pretty rough shape

That's pretty cool.  It looks real from what I can see of the door panel on the driver door with the base model coupe trim pkg.  I think the vin needs to be a 1C37 series per the following guide:

Guide to the 1972 Heavy Chevy

As the 1971 Heavy Chevy was, the 1972 Heavy Chevy was based on the base 13437 (1C37 VIN) Chevelle Sport Coupe only and the amenities were austere to say the least. Since bucket seats were not an option available on the base Chevelle series, bucket seats could not be ordered with the Heavy Chevy option either. Interior fabrics and colors were restricted as well. The YF3 option sold 9,508 units in 1972.

As with non-SS and SS-optioned Malibus, two dash assemblies were available. The basic sweep-style speedometer with fuel gauge was standard and a clock was optional. The round-type dash pod was used when RPO U14 Instrument Panel gauges were ordered. The gauges were identical to those offered in the Malibu series and included the speedometer, tachometer, fuel, water temperature, ammeter, and clock. The oil pressure indicator remained a warning lamp and was housed in the tachometer.

The YF3 option included not only the wild laser stripes down both sides but "Heavy Chevy" decals on the front fenders, on the trunk and hood as well in lieu of the typical "Chevelle by Chevrolet" emblems. Other items included in the YF3 option were a black accented grille, special domed hood with locking pins, 14"x6" rally type wheels with special center caps. Stripes were only offered in black or white with black being available on any color except Midnight Bronze and white being available on any color except Antique White.

Were you carrying when you walked up to a trailer park car and started taking pictures?  aknana

 The bottom of the fenders has the typical disappearing metal but I have to agree. The rockers, door bottoms, forward quarters and trunk corners  look solid, and you can bet the farm that it is original paint and unmolested body condition. Be interesting to see the floor and trunk pans.

Looks like a good LS conversion diversion for you, Kevin. Go offer $500 and see what happens....hyper

Mitch, it's just not what I'm looking for but it could be an interesting project for someone. You can't see it in the above pictures but the car may have what looks to be the original factory dual exhaust. Here's a cropped and blown-up shot

Stan, I went in unarmed did the RECON, snapped the pictures and got out quickly, just kidding. It's not a bad place, in fact it's across the road from the golf course so I may just stop by one day and ask about the cars just out of curiosity.

You never know... I bought my Malibu out of a guy's driveway for $500 simply because I stopped and asked if he'd sell it. :)
