Vehicle Description
Are you in the market for a chrome bumper C3 corvette, but are
having a tough time deciding between beautiful and gorgeous? Why
not settle for both? Your search might be over with this elegantly
restored War Bonnet Yellow 1972 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray.
Restored to perfection with great attention to detail, this may
just be the nicest chrome bumper C3 we've seen! She's a turn key
cruiser without a single hiccup to be found.
The original 350 V8 bit the dust before the restoration began. The
owner/builder took it as an opportunity to install a brand new 350
crate engine. This was not done in vain; the original engine block
was cracked in three separate places. But don't make the assumption
that this is some monster horsepower build. The idea behind the
build was to take this car back to nearly factory stock, brand new
condition. It feels like you are in a 1970s Chevrolet showroom any
time you sit in it! That being said, a few small liberties were
taking prior to engine installation: CC heads and a mild cam were
added along with a Holley Street Avenger 4-bbl carb producing an
estimate 350-375HP at the crank. Attached to the engine is the
believed original, freshly (2018) rebuilt th400 3-speed automatic
transmission. This Corvette is the perfect blend of factory correct
and functional upgrades!
But it didn't stop in just the engine bay, glance at the underneath
pictures and you'll find an underbody so clean you could eat off of
it. The glorious small block engine note is provided courtesy of
dual exhaust from Pypes. This Corvette rumbles, but has a nice tone
and isn't droning or deafening at speed. Truly, this is a perfect
cruising car! Pick any part, and it is just about guaranteed to be
new. If it isn't new, it has been rebuilt. This car has been fully
restored, top to bottom! It even has 4-wheel disc brakes.
The car was repainted in its original War Bonnet Yellow factory
color recently at the time of restoration. This paint is so slick
and clean on a straight body that it could've been painted
yesterday! The War Bonnet Yellow is not a common color, and looks
phenomenal on the body lines a Stingray has to offer. This is both
a breathtaking and unique color that is sure to stand out in a
crowd-even a crowd of Corvettes! Again, everything you see is
either new or refinished.
Pop open the doors and you'll find an interior that sticks strictly
to the original theme. On the floor you'll see new carpet as well
as brand-new material on the seats and door panels. The overall fit
and finish are great, and again every component you see is either
new or refinished. This is a very high-caliber restoration, and boy
does it show! While it may not be restored 100% factory correct, it
has stuck very, very close to the original design and was built to
make a knockout example of a chrome bumper C3.
If you are looking for a 100% original car that transports you back
to the dealership went it arrived new... this isn't the car for
you. However, if you are looking for a Vette that looks almost 100%
factory correct, with a little more power and some very subtle
performance upgrades, this may just be the car for you. Don't let
her immaculate looks fool you; she was built to be driven! Don't
miss out on your chance to own this collectible automobile!
