Vehicle Description
If you're a fan of a big power and presence in your Stingray, then
you know this 1972 Chevrolet Corvette 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...And you can
make this one a reality for quite a nice price.
There's something great about the early C3 design. It combines the
long and low American look with the flying buttress rear styling of
the Europeans. And this one carries nice upgrades like power bulge
on hood and side pipes to signal the monster motor within. There
have been updates later in life with everything from the red paint
to the rear luggage rack. It's nothing too fancy, and since this
one leaves room in many budgets compared to other big block
classics, you can easily plan to put your personal mark on this
one. But right now we already really love the look of a coupe that
is clean, complete, and ready to hit the road.
The black interior looks sharp against the red exterior. The
high-back bucket seats and carpeting are particularly nice. You may
choose to service the factory A/C to get it blowing cold again, or
install a modern stereo, but those are the little things. This one
really gets your enthusiast blood pumping when you grab the sports
steering wheel in your left hand, and rest your right one on the
stick shift. And not only do the T-tops come out, but also so does
the rear window. So you really get to have a wind-in-your-hair
experience as you listen to the side pipes growl.
Under the hood is the look of proper big block power. This is a 454
cubic inch V8 motor, and it has nice features like an MSD ignition,
cast valve covers, and an aluminum radiator. 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 the numbers-matching unit, and it gives you
confident control over this full power package. Plus, power
steering, four-wheel power disc brakes, and the Corvette's fully
independent sports suspension all mean this is a classic that's
ready to hit the road.
Complete with owner's manual, this is one special Corvette that
loves to show off the best in American muscle. Call now!
