"The C3 Corvette's LT-1 (first introduced in 1970) is a
high-performance 350 cubic-inch (5.7L) small-block V8. Unlike
standard base engines of the era, the LT-1 was specifically
engineered as a factory-built race engine for the street."
This 1972 Chevrolet Corvette LT-1 is featured in Elkhart Green
(code 946) with Dark Saddle leather interior (code 421) and is
showing 89,210 miles on the odometer. This car is powered by the
Legendary 350 cubic inch LT-1 V8 motor factory rated at 250 hp and
280 lb.-ft of torque., with the power being transferred to a
wide-ratio 4-speed manual transmission.
The Elkhart Green paint shows well throughout but does have the
typical rivet dimples on the front clip. Looking at the interior,
you will find a near flawless tan leather upholstery.
The 350 cubic inch motor runs very well and quickly moves through
out the gear range with ease. Records indicate this is not the
original motor for the car, but it appears to have been restamped
as the sequential number on the pad match the numbers on the
VIN.
This is a special car as 1972 was the last year of the LT-1 C3 as
well as this example having the rare option of air conditioning
believed to be 1 of 286.
The car is running on fifteen-inch Rally wheels with chrome trim
rings surrounded by BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires.
