Please call Matt directly at 513-708-1468 with any questions about this car.

Seven Hills Motorcars is very proud to offer this beautiful completely numbers matching 1972 Big Block Corvette Stingray Convertible in absolutely fantastic condition and with the original high performance 454ci LS5 engine and only 39,445 original miles. The car is finished in the beautiful and highly desirable color combination of Mille Miglia Red (989) over Black Leather (404). This iconic color combination is highly desirable, truly striking, and looks great on this Corvette shark body style. This is also the correct and original color scheme as verified by the codes on the trim tag. This Stingray comes with a wealth of documentation including the original "Protect-O-Plate," original owner's manual, Chevrolet Consumer Information Booklet, 1972 Chevrolet Emission Systems book, Warranty booklet, Wheel Trim Ring Instruction Sheet, a couple service records dating back to 1972, a Bill of Sale from 1999 when the original owner sold the car, and an appraisal from 2000 showing the car had 32,000 miles at that time, which is another great verification of the very low original mileage.

Besides the correct paint and trim codes, this Corvette is "Numbers Matching" meaning the engine and transmission in the car are the correct and original units that were installed in the car new at the factory in November of 1971. Even very detailed parts like the intake, distributor, and even all of the window glass is all date coded and original. The last six digits of the VIN, 506360, are stamped on the engine pad, which is pictured in this ad, and the engine is original to the car and pictured in this ad. The transmission is also original with the last six digits of the VIN stamped on the main case and pictured.

This car is verified as an original 454ci LS5 in a number of ways. First, the original "Protect-O-Plate" that verifies all the options. Additionally, on the engine pad is stamped "CSS." This suffix code denotes an LS5 with an automatic transmission. The car is also confirmed as an original and authentic LS5 by the fifth digit of the VIN. In 1972 only the big block LS5 Corvettes with have an "W" in this spot like this car does, a base motor Corvettes will always have an "K" in the fifth digit of the VIN and an LT1 will have an "L."

We have this car priced to sell and are offering an excellent opportunity to own a very desirable big block Corvette Stingray convertible at an unbeatable value. The big block and convertible body style draw a great premium over the standard small block and coupe body styles. One could easily buy this car now and sell it for more than the purchase price in years to come as the market on C3 "chrome bumper" Corvettes from 1968 to 1972 is absolutely red hot right now and on the rise. The low mileage is verified not only by the condition of the car, but also the clear Ohio title which shows the mileage as "Actual." Please peruse all of the photos, video, list of numbers, and other information below to get a true sense of how nice this Corvette really is.

As a side note, this Corvette is not a dealer auction vehicle. We hand pick each car after careful inspection. Our Corvettes come from owners who expect their car to go to someone that will give the vehicle the same care and attention as they did. We invite and encourage you to examine the car in person or have the car inspected. Please take the time to scrutinize each picture. We photograph each vehicle to the greatest extent so you can feel confident about your purchase. If you have a question about the Corvette, just give us a call.

Exterior

The Mille Miglia Red (989) exterior is in excellent condition for its age. As one can see in the photos, the finish has dazzling gloss, smooth finish, and deep shine. All four factory bonding strips on all four fenders appears to be in place and intact, which would indicate that this Corvette has a no-hit body and has never been in an accident. The chrome looks great with no pitting. The soft top is in terrific condition with no rips, holes, or frayed edges. The rear window is clear and not foggy or yellowed. The rally wheels and center caps are in fantastic condition with a brilliant finish and no curb rash. Please note that this car still has the original 4-clip style beauty rings, not the cheaper foreign made replacements. The Goodyear Eagle raised white letter tires have plenty of treat left and are correctly sized 225/70R15. There are no major blemishes that have been intentionally excluded from the photos. As to be expected from a paintjob with this many years on there is some checking visible and other tiny imperfections around car that were too faint to show up in pictures, but nothing else that is really noticeable from about five or ten feet away. As one can see in the many photos of the underside this car is very clean underneath and has no rust issues. The frame is totally solid around the "key hole" area in front of the rear tire and we have seen no evidence of corrosion around the windshield or "birdcage" area, which is the most common spots for rust on a C3 Corvette. We have included specific photos of the areas most prone to rust to show how nice this car looks.

Window Date Codes

Please note that ALL of the glass on this Corvette, both "Astro Ventilation" door windows and the windshield are all date coded and original as each piece predates the car's body build date of November 2, 1971 (D02). Original glass is another good indication that this car has had no major accident history and never sustained significant damage.

Interior

The Black Leather (404) interior of the Corvette is in outstanding condition. The gauge faces are clean and crisp and the lenses are clear. The carpet is also in excellent condition with no stains, rips, or holes. This includes the rear carpet, which is often neglected. The seats are in excellent shape with no holes or excessive wear. There is just the minimal amount of wear in the typical spot on the bolster where the driver gets in and out and a place on the left headrest where the thread is starting to stretch. Please note that these appear to be the original seats and skins, not some cheap aftermarket covers or replacements. The radio works well and gets good reception. Please note that the car has a Corvette specific radio made for this car so most importantly the dash has never been cut or modified for the installation. The door panels are in nice shape overall. The dash and console are in great shape with no cracks, fading, or sun damage. Both seat belts work and retract properly. This is a common problem on C3 Corvettes and an issue many buyers do not think to check. This Corvette has never been smoked in; there are no burns marks and no aroma of cigarettes. The jack and jack handle are still with the car, stored correctly in the compartment behind the passenger seat. The spare is also still with the car.

Corvette interiors from this era are not known to wear well, especially for a convertible, and the excellent condition of this interior is a huge testament to the meticulous care and attention this car has received throughout its life and another great verification of the very low original mileage.

Mechanical

This Corvette seems to be in good mechanical condition. The original numbers matching 454ci LS5 engine runs well and idles smooth. The car drives great and feels nice on the road and at highway speeds. In th...for more information please contact the seller.
