C3s are some of the best examples of the muscle car era, and the1972 Stingray was the last year for chrome bumpers, side bright “egg crate” grills and hidden wipers with vacuum actuated pop-up windshield wiper door. Also in 1972 the engine’s horsepower was realistic rated with all the accessories and the exhaust system.

The vehicle drives as a new vehicle of this era would. Kept covered inside the garage and ready for a long tour.
