It would be awesome to see this car at the next Super Car Reunion.

My '72 SS 454 Chevelle had those same pipes. It was also a 4 speed. A few girls burned their legs on them.

There you go!!! BTW they are killer. I bought them from a guy who purchased them new for a '68 L78 Chevelle, but wrecked the car before they went on. Sat in his garage since 1973 when I bought them in 2012.

To all,

Today, I purchased the original NOS OK Kustom Headers and side pipes. I want to give a big shout out to scuncio (Tony) for providing me with a lead to a member that he sold the pipes to 6 years ago.. I can say that luck was on my side as I contacted the current owner 427king and he still had the pipes.

These pipes will be fitted back on the car and they will need to be chromed to meet the build requirements to match the original purchase. This web site provides much value to members and I want to thank everyone who has provided feedback. They will go back on an original Motion Chevelle!

Regards, Mark

Glad to help. That is “probably” the last set of NOS Kustom pipes in existence (I say “probably” because you just never know).

I have provided a listing for Kustom Headers for reference. The exhaust is 2 1/8 tubes going into a 4 inch exchanges. I have the 1227 headers and side pipes and they will need to be fitted after the motor refresh and then making them all chrome to match the original build.

Regards, Mark

1972 Motion Performance Chevelle Project Update
 
3 Attachment(s)
To the readers,

I want to provide the group with an update on my 1972 Chevelle Motion Performance mechanical refresh.

Progress is underway as the complete drive train was removed, cleaned and painted as planned. In order to move this effort forward as many readers know, it is very expensive, time consuming and exciting and fun when all the parts making it look new again. I have provided some pictures from last month on the engine pull, cleanup of the under carriage (every nut and bolt) as well as completing the engine area. The next phase in January will be cleaning and rebuilding the rear end and replacing the rear springs.

This is the current update and the effort will continue over the next 3-4 months. I will post when more work is completed.

In the meantime, please stay safe, healthy and enjoy the holidays!

Regards, Mark

I need some assistance on my Chevelle and the scatter shield it came with from Motion Performance in 1972.

Can anyone point me to the actual manufacture as it is not labeled.

The color of the shield is white and I have provided pictures from when it was new and what it looks like today.

If you have ideas, please let me know your thoughts?

Thanks, Mark
