Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is pleased to present
this 1972 Chevrolet Corvette. Third-generation Corvettes like this
'71 model have an outstanding timeless stylishness about them -
they get their curved form from the Mako Shark II concept car that
stunned car expo audiences in the mid-'60s with its futuristic
appearance. The body lines on this classic are in great order -
everything matches up neatly, and the doors and big block hood show
nice, even gaps. All exterior fittings, including the legendary
chrome bumpers front and rear, the rocker panel trim all present
very well. The sight of a dialed-in, beautifully done Corvette is
always a wonderful way to brighten the mood of any car enthusiast,
and when it packs the big block power of this 1972 Chevrolet
Corvette LS5 454 Convertible, that happiness becomes outright
euphoria with just a tap of the accelerator. Wearing its original
colors inside and out, including a magnetic shade of Steel Cities
Gray stretched over those gorgeous curves, this C3 is in killer
condition and looks good with plenty of power, and a top that goes
down making this 'Vette ready for the road. The 454CID V-8 breathes
through a four-barrel carburetor and features a Edelbrock intake,
mild cam, aluminum radiator with two electric fans and Holley
stamped valve covers. The cabin features front bucket seats
upholstered in black vinyl joined by a matching dashboard, door
panels, and carpets. Equipment includes air conditioning, a heater
and defroster, power windows, polished door sills, map pockets, and
a retro-style digital stereo. The three-spoke steering wheel is
mounted to a tilt column and frames a 160-mph speedometer and a
7k-rpm tachometer. Five auxiliary gauges are mounted in the center
stack that include battery voltage, water temperature, oil
pressure, fuel level and a clock. Chevrolet big block power, killer
good looks, and a top that goes down - what more could you want in
a vintage icon?
