Vehicle Description
This 1972 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray hits all the high notes: a
rumbling big block 454 with reliable upgrades, factory-correct
attention grabbing paint, and a very attractive price tag.
The code-987 Ontario Orange gives this C3 coupe the same bold first
impression you get with a classic red Corvette, but the color also
gives it instant distinction in a crowd. This is especially true
thanks to a professional respray that gives its factory-correct
color an updated more modern shine. You can tell the level of care
that has gone into this coupe just by the way the panels have the
kind of alignment that will make you proud to drive it around town.
Plus, the 454 badging on the hood's power bulge hints to the
performance that's available under your right foot if you choose to
unleash it. This was the final year for the bright chrome bumpers
attached to the egg crate grille, so those of you who like good 'ol
American brightwork know the significance of this coupe. And of
course, when it comes to high power C3s, we always love the bold
shine of the Rally wheel package.
Inside, the correct saddle tan leather interior looks great against
the orange paint for a factory-correct and true '70s style machine.
Corvettes have always been a great personal sports car in providing
performance features with plenty of creature comforts to make it a
great long-distance cruiser for two. This one even has provisions
for air conditioning. As the driver you get a three-spoke steering
wheel. Just ahead of that is the large dual pod gauges, including
the tach. Just to the side are a full set of auxiliary readouts for
a true sports car experience. This is a T-top coupe with the final
year for the removable rear window. So you can really let the wind
run through the cabin.
Lift the hood and see that this orange 'Vette has its engine bay
filled with a big orange V8. The 454 cubic-inch motor fires up
readily, like a big dog ready to go for his morning run. The V8
inhales deeply though a four-barrel carburetor, and it gives a
fantastic sound out of the recently added Xlerator mufflers on the
dual exhaust. The stout TH400 three-speed automatic does a
fantastic job of deciding at a moment's notice if you want a
confident cruiser or a powerful muscle machine. Plus, it's easy to
keep all this power corralled with great driving features such as
the power steering, four-wheel disc brakes, and Firestone Firehawk
rubber at each corner.
This Stingray has the right look, price, and factory-correct
features to keep an enthusiast like you happy, and it even comes
with the owner's manual. It's a true classic C3 that's within your
reach, but it's affordable for plenty of others, too, so hurry up
and call today!
