All 1972 Chevelles have vented gas caps.
The Monte Carlo SS option was discontinued for the 1972 model year.
One could now only order the LS5 in a 1H57 Monte Carlo with Monte
Carlo Custom option, RPO Z03.
Like the 1971 model year, both 350 engines and the 402 could be ordered
with or without the SS Equipment option. Only the 454 engine required
the SS Equipment option.
While GM changed the VIN format from something like 13637 to 1D37 for
a Malibu sport coupe, Fisher Body retained the 13637 style number for
the Fisher Body Number Plate. See the 1972 VIN page
for the new series letter designations.
Tuxedo Black was not an available color in 1972. It coulee be ordered
via the Fleet & Special Order procedure as 'special paint.'
Either RPO D88 stripe color (RPO YF8 for black and RPO ZR8 for white)
could be ordered on almost any body color. White stripes could not be
ordered with Antique White and black stripes could not be ordered with
Midnight Bronze. A buyer could get black stripes with Midnight Bronze
under the Fleet & Special Order process but you can see why it wasn't
offered as a normal choice by Chevrolet.
The basic steel wheel with hub cap were standard and wheels are
painted lower body color except when full
wheel covers are ordered, they the wheels are painted black.
