Vehicle Description
If you're a fan of big power and presence in your Stingray, then
you know this 1972 Chevrolet Corvette convertible has all the best
features. After all, 454 big block power, four-on-the-floor, and
the growl of side pipes are what high-octane dreams are made of...
but there's more happening here. It's also a true red-blooded
American with its number-matching motor and trans to be the power
car that's also an esteemed classic.
We all love a red Corvette, and the factory-correct Mille Miglia
Red adds even more panache with a race-worthy name. This is the
right year for lovers of the classic American sports car. It has
the commanding look of a long front end where the power is created;
plenty of curves emphasize the 15-inch Rally wheels; and a sleek
rear with the spoiler nicely integrated. And there are great
brightwork elements, like the pointed shark-like front bumper,
two-piece rear bumper, polished rockers, and a luggage rack. So it
makes for a sharp-looking car. But it also never loses its
road-ready attitude. After all, the power dome hood and the side
pipes signal that this has the muscle and thunder for serious
fun.
We like the white roof because it has the same Americana feel as a
Coca-Cola bottle. But we like it even better when you take it down
because the red interior is truly district against the paint. And
the trim tag tells us the full red-blooded package came this way
from the factory. This is about looking good while keeping its
driver-ready nature at its heart. That includes an interior built
around you with high-back bucket seats, a grippy three-spoke sports
steering wheel, and a large speedo and tach directly in front of
it. The center section houses some of the best details, like the
full auxiliary readouts and the bright stick shift. Plus, there are
nice cruising features like a tilt steering column, retro-style
AM/FM stereo, and power steering.
Under the hood is the look of proper big block power. This is a 454
cubic inch V8 motor, the numbers-matching unit! It inhales deeply
with a four-barrel carburetor, and we can't stress how much we love
the tune as this exhales through those side pipes. The four-speed
manual transmission is also the numbers-matching unit, giving you
confidence and control over this full power package. This is a
terrific driver with the Corvette's fully independent sports
suspension and four-wheel disc brakes. And everything from newer
bushings to wide Cooper Cobra tires gives this a proper sports car
confidence on the streets.
The sale comes complete with maintenance records and service
manuals. This is the full-red numbers-matching big block Stingray
drop-top you always wished was out there. So don't let this one
slip away. Call now!
