1972 Chevy 8 passenger.

Super color. If I remember right it's been repainted and the door jambs are just a shade lighter then the exterior

 

Best looking of the series, before getting the pregnant bumpers. The stretched out to the max smallblock should eventually give way to a bigblock, though. Might want to use that argument, to get a fitting price.

 

TWO '400' V8's were available in these in the '72 model year. You had the 170hp 'Turbo Fire' V8 (small block). Then you had the 210hp 'Turbo Jet' V8 (big block). Of course, you could also get the 270hp 454 Turbo Jet.

I'm sure, if it has the Bigblock, he would have mentioned it. We can assume he would have stated the exact displacement of 402 cubic inches, instead of mentioning plain 400 of them.

 

If it is original, I would bet it is a 400 big block (aka 402). I am thinking all of the BB full-size Chevy cars had the "400" emblem on the front fenders, at least that has been my findings. Mine has a 402 and has the "400" badges on the front fenders, then of course the 454 had the "454" badges.

 

It's a small block, I messaged him as I am wanting another wagon. No options besides 8 passenger and A/C

 

There must have been a reason for GM to not reveal which block was under the hood. Maybe, to not scare buyers away from that punched-out and siamesed-cylindered 265. Pontiac also falsified their largest displacement issue, back in the mid-sixties, because of pressure from higher ups. The reason was for none of the divisions to have a known displacement advantage which could polarize sales to the division offering the largest engine.

 

Somehow I knew you being "wagonless" wasn't going to last! LOL sux not having one! I feel your pain.

 

I'm being extremely picky about what I want this time. I never should have sold my black Buick. The "Chevillac" wagon I bought was cool, but it just wasn't what I really wanted.

I do love my Suburban I built but it's just not the same

 

Dang. Only 50 miles away. Sadly no garage space. Double dang.
I still like that ugly blue Suburban.

 

Yea that black buick was NICE man
