For Sale: 1972 Chevrolet Corvette in Ft Worth, Texas

The second generation of Chevy's Corvette has quietly been gaining popularity among collectors over the last several years. One look at this 1972 Chevrolet Corvette LT1 383 and it's easy to see why. Fully repainted in a shimmering silver, this C2 features a useful rear luggage rack, complementing its signature T-Tops and sinewy Coke-bottle shape.

Inside, we find a stock and correct appearing black leather interior. A center console separates a pair of bucket seats, while a three-spoke, power-assisted steering wheel sits ahead of a large 160 mph speedometer and 7,000 rpm tachometer. A quintet of auxiliary gauges sits above a retro-styled AM/FM/AUX/Bluetooth head unit, while simple wheel-controlled HVAC controls and a shift pattern diagram sit near the well-placed shifter.

Although it came from the factory with an LT1, this Corvette benefits from an even more potent 383 cubic-inch BluePrint Engines stroker crate V-8 engine. This potent small block comes with lightweight aluminum heads, a mild performance cam, and a single Holley four-barrel carburetor. A true dual exhaust system feeds into a set of sweet-sounding FlowMaster mufflers, and with approximately 300 miles on it since installation, this engine has barely been broken in. Power is routed through a tried-and-true four-speed manual transmission, also with approximately 300 miles on its newly installed clutch.
