His wife told me that they were going to start putting it back together as much as possible. I wasn't sure what "as much as possible" she meant though.

I have no clue what engine he has. I didn't ask.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't have a 289 in it.

HP numbers are good and all, but they are like asking someone how much they can bench. What difference does it make if I can still kick your ass?

Chevy made a 283 not a 289 (Ford), and as far as I know they never came with a 283 in them in 1972 either. What was the vin on it? Was it an original auto or manual and what rearend does it have? I might have to take a look at this thing... As if I need a project right now.

Yeah I meant 283. Sorry, looks like the Chevelles didnt have a 283ci in '72. But they had these...
230 CID Inline-Six I6
250 CID Inline-Six I6
307 CID Small-Block V8
327 CID Small-Block V8
350 CID Small-Block V8
396 CID Big-Block V8
400 CID Small-Block V8
402 CID Big-Block V8
427 CID Big-Block V8
454 CID Big-Block V8

Yes, all these were in Chevelles. Thats a long list!

I believe by 1972 the 396 was replaced by the 402, the 427 by the 454, 327 by the 350. I could be remembering incorrectly. My 1970 had a 454 bored .60 over.

I took this list from the wikipedia article about Chevelles so Im not 100% sure but I know every v8 that Chevy made was available as an option. The 307 was the base engine but in CA the base was the 350. More than likely itll be a 350.

wow, you guys really know the chevelle. lol. I don't know anything about american cars other than when it comes to fixing them I have to think outside the box or imports. I found that out when I was working on a few F-350's.

I grew up with old iron v-8s and holley carbs. I love old muscle cars and big as cruisers. I just got a line on my dad's buddy's car. A 57 chevy bel air. All original, 283, 2 speed powerglide, original tropical teal turquoise/white two tone paint, original interior, CA black plate, and he only wants $9,000. He drives it around when its sunny out and cruises to pick up women half his age... Sorry not interseted in the chevelle anymore good luck with the sale amigo.
