Chevrolet Corvette 1972 Description

Big block, four-speed Corvettes are always going to be popular, however finding one this clean with its original drivetrain still intact is incredibly rare. This 1972 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray represents the opportunity to buy a matching-numbers C3 with lots of charisma, and if history is any indication, there are going to be a lot of guys out there trying to take advantage of this offer. This is also believed to be a 59K actual mile car (undocumented), and from looking at it, we believe that to be true.Covered in a gorgeous coat of its correct factory code-946 Elkhart Green (a subtle Road America reference,) this Sting Ray attracts attention wherever it goes. The bodywork is very straight, and the paint is glossy and deep. It has the classic look of a Corvette that can be enjoyed but was never abused. The way the light plays over those gorgeous fenders in an unbroken curve is proof that someone invested a good amount of time getting everything tidy then added a smooth, shiny finish. The 454 badging hints to the type of power that is available under your right foot if you choose to unleash it. This was the final year for the bright chrome bumpers attached to the egg crate grille, and they really do shine like good jewelry, especially when so well cared for. And of course, when it comes to high power C3s, we always love the bold shine of the Rally wheel package.Inside, the correct saddle tan leather interior looks great against the green paint. Plus, the matching door panels and carpeting demonstrate more careful ownership. Corvettes have always been a great personal sports car in providing performance features with plenty of creature comforts to make it a great long-distance cruiser. As the driver you get a three-spoke steering wheel. Just ahead of that is the large dual pod gauges for the speedo and tach, and just to the side are a full set of auxiliary readouts. This is a T-top coupe with the final year for the removable rear window. So you can really let the wind run through the cabin. And on those hot summer days when all this breeze is not enough, there's factory air conditioning to cool keep you cool, too.Lift the hood and see an engine bay filled with big-block power. This 454 cubic-inch V8 is the car's original numbers-matching engine, and it really is a strong runner. The tidy engine bay features the correct details like the Chevy orange paint on the block as well as the bright distributor shield and air cleaner. There's nothing quite like turning the key and hearing this monster motor awaken. Plus, with the four-speed manual, you're always in charge of the powerband and the brutish symphony coming out of the dual exhaust. It's easy to keep all this horsepower corralled with great driving features such as the power steering, four-wheel disc brakes, and BF Goodrich rubber at each corner.A numbers-matching, big-block classic Corvette with T-tops and four-on-the-floor... You're already more than tempted at this award-worthy coupe before we tell you the owner's manual is also included and it has averaged less than 1,350 miles annually (believed to be). So you may want to hurry up and call us now because you're far from the only one who desires this speedy icon. Call today!!!
