For Sale: 1972 Chevrolet Corvette in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

1972 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

"When you slip behind the wheel of a sports car like Corvette, we think you have the right to accept three things: instrumentation, comfort and convenience. 1972 Corvettes provide all three. Get seated and look around. Immediately behind Corvette's steering wheel, recessed deeply in circular pods, you'll see Corvette's speedometer and tachometer. If you're getting the idea that Corvette's standard interior is well stocked, you're getting the right idea." From the 1972 sales brochure

For consignment, a 1972 Chevrolet Corvette convertible showing 2,425 miles, but the true miles are unknown due to a PA title exemption. This one retains its numbers matching drivetrain that includes a 350ci V8 and Muncie M20 manual. Of the 27,000 Corvettes produced in 1972, only about 6,500 of them were convertibles.

Exterior
Classic White in single stage covers the sweeping lines, coke bottle curves, and iconic grated fender vents, here with a matching white canvas soft top. Rising fenders border the hood which leads to a raked windshield that forces air to flow over the top, finding its way to the flat decklid that terminates with a subtle integrated wing. One of the best views of the car is the rear where the split bumper underlines the quad tail light configuration and we don't think it's hyperbole to say "iconic" here. 15-inch Polished American Racing Torque Thrust wheels are a nice addition here and have staggered size tires with letters out. Imperfections include general and overall aging to the paint and canvas top, peppering of chips throughout, larger flakes, edgewear, dry seals, flex cracking, pitted metals, broken fiberglass on the rear panel and wheel flare, missing windshield trim, remnant hole from side mirror, rust under windshield and on inner door structure and jambs, crazing throughout, a missing marker lens, and a missing exhaust tip.

Interior
Inside, Saddle vinyl and plastic door panels follow the laid back lines in slanted geometric patterns and both are in need of repair or replacement with tears and exposed foam. Browny vinyl bucket seats have tall backs and are flat by today's sportscar standards, and both seats show wear and on the driver's, missing material and both with exposed piping. The aftermarket 3 spoke steering wheel fronts a column that leads to a simple dashboard with two important dials, speed and RPMs and the speedometer tops out at 160 mph. Less immediate but just as important information is conveyed via a five gauge pod located in the center stack. An AM/FM/CD radio has been added and the center console which houses a T-handle shifter over saddle carpet that shows some age on the driver's side but remains very nice on the passenger side. The cargo area is missing some trim and has some carpet remaining over the storage bins.

Drivetrain
The engine bay is uniformly flat black and houses the numbers matching 350ci V8 with 200 horsepower and an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor over a Weiand intake manifold. It's mated to a numbers matching Muncie M20 4-speed manual with power being routed to the rear axle with 3.08 gears and Positraction. Power steering and headers are on board.

Undercarriage
Some patina but overall the underside is clean and solid. Dual exhaust run through stock style mufflers just before exiting and disc brakes are supplied to all four wheels. Suspension includes coil springs up front and independent suspension in back with half shafts, lateral struts, and transverse leaf springs.

Drive-Ability
The car starts and runs on starting fluid but the fuel pump appears to be bad. Battery power allows us to test other component functionality and all are in working order; gauges, radio. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.

If you're looking for a project, why not start with this numbers matching icon of an American sports car? Good bones here and with some TLC, this could back in the running for a car show trophy in no time!
