DeLorenzo, Motor Trend road-test reviewer, June 1972 The Motorious
website described the early-Seventies C3 'Vettes: The differences
between the 1971 and the 1972 Stingray are minimal. Corvettes 1971
model was the last model to feature fiber-optic warning lights
while the 1972 Stingray was the first to have amber-colored front
turn signals and a chrome egg-crate grill. The 1972 Stingray was
also the last production year for chrome front and rear bumpers.
Beyond these minor differences, the '71 and '72 models were
basically the same. Both models were available in either a
convertible coupe body style or a sports coupe body style. Many
Stingray fans refer to the convertible as a roadster. However, with
roll-up windows and windshield that is fixed, this model was a true
convertible. When it comes to classic cars, the most beloved
Corvette models that most folks enjoy and remember are the
hidden-headlight Corvettes mainly due to their longevity on the
Corvette and the sleekness and sexiness they produce for the
vehicle! No other American-made classic car enjoys such a long,
long history of uniqueness as does the Corvette. Offered here in
Classic White over tan is a 1972 Corvette Stingray Convertible. The
car's odometer shows 39,957 miles believed to be original, but not
authenticated. The condition of the car for its age reflects
responsible-owner care through the years. The Classic White
exterior paint is original; its condition is very good showing
minor signs of aging, but no damage or significant
surface-deterioration. In part, Classic reflects the fact that this
shade dates to the first Corvette and was offered yearly since
then. This 'Vette is equipped with a black fabric top as well as a
body-color removable hardtop. Chrome bumpers (their final model
year) are in good condition fore and aft; likewise the chrome
windshield trim, chrome-accented fender louvers. (Side mirrors and
door handles show wear.) The twin front eggcrate-style lower
grilles are original, but only in good condition. Original-tint
cabin glass, and lighting lenses-including on the pop-up
headlights-are clear and undamaged. A factory-optioned chrome
luggage rack is mounted on the rear deck. Factory badging-including
crossed flags emblems on the hood and rear deck, Stingray script on
the front fenders, and C-o-r-v-e-t-t-e lettering on the rear-is all
properly located and mounted. Square, original dual-exhaust tips
are in place, as is the lock for the theft-prevention system.
Original silver-painted steel wheels with chrome center caps and
trim rings are mounted with raised-white-letter Road Hugger® Radial
G/T tires. The car's interior is generally well maintained. Tan
leather upholstery on the front bucket seats features an antiqued
look. The leather is lightly creased and the driver's seat bolster
has a split seam. Tan door panels include woodgrain upper trim and
carpeted lower panels; crank handles operate the roll-up windows,
and chrome door handles include the crossed-flags emblem. (The rear
portions of the trim panel on both doors are damaged.) The factory
steering wheel with crossed-flags e
