1972 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe
VIN# 1Z37W2S503562
1972 was the last year for chrome bumpers at both front and rear, the vacuum actuated pop-up windshield wiper door, as well as the removable rear window common to all 1968-72 coupes. The key activated anti-theft alarm system became standard. The increasingly popular choice of an automatic transmission was installed in most corvettes for the first time, with nearly 54 percent so equipped. This year SAE net measurement for horsepower was now utilized (away from the previous SAE gross standard), and was largely responsible for the much lower engine output figures such as the 200 hp rating on the standard 350 cu in (5.7 L) motor. This was the final year for the LT-1 engine, rated at 255 hp, and the ZR1 racing package built around it. The LT-1 could now be ordered with air conditioning, a combination not permitted the two previous years. The LS5 454 cu in (7.4 L) big block was again available and came in at 270 hp. Noteworthy is in 72 the LS5 was not available to California buyers. This was the beginning of a trend where Chevrolet restricted certain power train choices to Golden State buyers due to that states practice of applying more stringent emission (smog) standards than mandated by federal regulations. In 1972, Corvettes sold 27,004 units at a base price $5,533.
This 1972 Corvette Stingray, assembled in St. Louis, was built with the LS5 454 rated at 300 hp, having net 270 horsepower, with automatic transmission is an excellent example of street performance from Corvette. With the original code 979 Targa blue exterior and blue correct blue interior, this makes an impressive entrance wherever it goes. The T-top configuration, air conditioning (needs final hoses installed), newer aluminum core radiator, 160mph speedometer, tachometer, Performer RPM aluminum intake with Holley 4bbl carburetor, all make this for a great ride. Fitted with aluminum spoke rims with BF Goodrich T/A radials, P225 70 R15 all corners, near new tread condition.
This Corvette is a great addition to any garage, and a lot of fun to drive.
