the third-generation Corvette Mechanics Our 1972 Corvette Stingray
has the standard 350 cubic inch engine with its four-barrel
carburetor and a four-speed transmission that looks and sounds as
it did from the factory. It is nicely detailed with correct Chevy
Orange paint on the block, the original open-air cleaner with
chrome lid, great looking plug wires and hoses, orange factory
valve covers, cast intake, correct ignition shielding, Four Wheel
Disc Brakes, air conditioning, and sitting in a period correct,
painted, and detailed engine compartment. It is by far one of the
most tractable Corvettes ever made and it idles smoothly as the
dual exhausts emit a nice note and the gearing assures restful
freeway cruising. It rides on Rally wheels and wears Redline
sidewall tires and the fully-independent sports suspension rides
and tracks well. Interior It has a twin front bucket seat interior
in #417 Saddle that is in excellent condition with matching door
panels, matching tan carpets, the chrome 4-speed shifter with a
black shift knob in the factory console as well as the gauge
package and radio, black factory steering wheel, dual pod
speedometer/tachometer with a full gauge package, seatbelts, and
the black vinyl hardtop that never goes out of style. Exterior Our
1972 Corvette comes re-painted in #946 Elkhart Green that in came
from the factory and looks great from all angles with its long,
sleek hood, great chrome and trim, shark-like front bumper, twin
rear bumper, chrome rocker panels, window trim, and fender grilles.
While there were virtually no appearance changes to the 1972
Corvette from 1971, the model year did mark the �€�end of an era�€�
for the third-generation Corvette. It would be the last model year
to feature both front and rear chrome bumpers, a bright egg-crate
grill, side-fender grills (later models do have functional vents
and some have vent trim), and a removable rear-window (this last
had been a standard feature from 1968-1972.) Our 1972 Corvette had
as standard equipment a left-hand outside rearview mirror, all
tinted glass, a flow-thru ventilation system, front and rear disc
brakes, and electric clock and the entire car, body, engine,
interior, chrome trim, and dual chrome exhaust tips looks great.
Conclusion This is a great 1972 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe
we have at Skyway Classics that is re-painted in #946 code Elkhart
Green, powered by a great and tractable 350 cubic inch engine
pulling more horsepower than when it was stock, shifted by a
4-speed shifter, and a #917 code Saddle vinyl interior with air
conditioning. What more could you want? It is a very desirable
Stingray that will only increase in value year after year. Come see
it today. So give us a call at 941-254-6608. Disclaimer In
