As time goes by, a few things remain constant in our ever-changing
world: men and women will never fully understand one another,
chocolate and peanut will always be the best flavor combination in
the world, and people will always love Corvettes. The only aspect
of that last fact that does change is which Corvettes are en vogue
at what time. Right now, the early C3s are beginning to climb in
value. This stunning 1972 Stingray is one of just 2,550 painted in
the lusted-after 989 coded War Bonnet Yellow exterior paint for
that year. This survivor 'Vette is powered by an original
numbers-matching L48 350 cubic-inch V-8 that funnels power through
a Muncie M21 four-speed transmission and onto the rear wheels where
correct 15-inch wheels await shod in factor-correct 235/60R-15
tires.
Continuing with the Corvette tradition of offering more than just
muscle, the original 1972 Stingray bucket seats await to coddle
both driver and passenger in 421-coded Saddle Leather. The center
stack comes replete with the C3's five analog gauges to keep tabs
on fuel, water temperature, oil pressure, battery health, and, of
course, time as it flies by when you're rowing through the gears of
this Vette's eight ball topped 4-speed shifter. Two huge analog
gauges sit front and center of the driver: a 7,000-rpm tachometer
and a 160-mph speedometer while also quietly displaying this
particular C3 Corvette's 96,738 miles.
In the early 1970s, muscle and sports cars often caught flack for
being less powerful than their predecessors. The truth of the
matter is, however, that these cars were just victims of the new
SAE net horsepower rating system. Had this same car come out a year
or two earlier, it would have been advertised as having 300
horsepower pumping through its Rochester Quadra-Jet 4-barrel
carburetor-topped small block V-8. Complete with the original
owner's manual, this stellar 1972 Stingray is a shining example of
why people will always love Corvettes. If you've always wanted to
join the Crossed Flags club, it's time to jump behind the wheel at
a great price. Call today!
