    The Corvette aluminum wheels look great on that Heavy Chevy. Auto trivia, they were to be released on the 73 Vette, but were pulled back due to difficulty holding air. They made it into production in 76, after changing manufacturers. Sir, it's so great to have you back! Thank you High Octane Classics for being a true partner and helping make these happen ~ Chuck

    I agree. They look surprisingly factory. I still think 15 by 7 wheels with white letter tires look best on 60’s and 70’s cars. I’m not even that old and I hate when people put 20” wheels on older cars

    You are looking stronger each day, which is good to see. The "SS" rubber emblem on the 1972 models would actually pass for a bumper guard and for damage protection which made the insurance people happy. LOL. I think you meant "Strato" bucket seats perhaps. No VIN, can't win, but something like: 1 for Chevrolet, D for Malibu, 37 for two door sport coupe, various choices for the engine (F for 307 V8 with two barrel, H for 350 V8 with two barrel, J for 350 V8 with four barrel, or U for 402 V8 with four barrel), 2 for 1972 model year, possible B for Baltimore, MD assembly (closed in 2005), R for Arlington, TX assembly (still operates as of 2024), K for Kansas City, MO (Leeds, closed in 1988), L for Van Nuys, CA (closed in 1992) or 1 for Oshawa, Ontario Canada (closed in 2019, but reopened in 2021) and the rest is the production sequence. No tag, can't brag, but it should be code 36 Spring Green exterior paint. Anne Murray was born in 1945 so as of 2024 she is 78 years old, not 85.

Popular color back then I guess. And lastly, she had an 8 track player installed and aside from Barry White and Stevie Wonder, we did have my older brother's 8 track copy of Deep Purple's Machine Head.

    Very rare killer example of the "Tape and Stripe" Musclecar. Pontiac did similar with the Tempest / Lemans GT-37 package - Stripe package, hood pins, Rally Rims, exhaust tips.....But Pontiac let you check the boxes for the GTO engines 400 in 1970, 455 in 1971 - Even could get HO 455 in 71, but only a handful were made. 90% of them were 350 autos - great cars though. Olds had their Cutlass Rallye 350 with bright yellow paint with painted bumper and full rear wing!

But it did have positraction, dual exhaust, Bucket seats, sport steering wheel, blacked out grill, and the steel rally wheels with chrome trim rings. It was the first brand new car I ever bought. I loved that car. Kept it until 1994. I wish I still had it. It was light and fast!
