Vehicle Description
This 1972 Chevrolet Corvette is an interesting find for the
enthusiast looking for a reliable C3 Corvette. It catches your eye
with a beautiful Ontario Orange paint job, but what's really cool
is the 454 cubic inch V8 under the hood that's been converted to
fuel injection!
The smooth fiberglass panels on this C3 are covered in the correct
code 987 Ontario Orange. Not only is this a cool color for a car of
this era, it's a cool color for any car of ANY era, and it
certainly stands out! The paint is new so you can rest easy knowing
that the orange finish will shine like new for many more years. The
chrome luggage rack out back tops a new split chrome bumper
underneath the vivid taillights. Up front, the bulging front
fenders bring your eye another new chrome bumper that lies beneath
the nostalgic hideaway headlights. Also new to the car is the black
vinyl top that features a plastic window. Stepping back to take it
all in, the handsome hood scoops, and Goodyear Eagle wrapped rallye
wheels, bring it together for a muscular look.
Inside is a new and correct Saddle Vinyl interior that works really
well with the exterior. The carpets are new and everything appears
showroom fresh. Those pleated vinyl seats feature custom 'LS-5'
stitching in the headrests, nodding at what lies beneath the hood.
The crack free dash holds clear gauges, including the center gauge
pod that hosts a clock, fuel, water temperature, oil pressure and
amperage gauges. The clean three spoke steering wheel tops the cool
telescopic and tilt steering column. Other amenities include and
AM/FM radio, air conditioning, heat/defrost and yes, power
windows.
Tilt the hood forward and you're greeted with the pleasant view of
a 454 cubic inch V8 that has been bored .30 over and balanced.
Producing 425 horsepower, this one has been converted to a reliable
Holley fuel injection setup. It starts up without drama with an
electronic ignition, and can idle reliably in traffic with a nice
aluminum radiator. Exhaling those fuel injected gasses is a new
chambered exhaust system. That big block sends power to an
automatic TH400 transmission and the undercarriage appears solid
with power 4 wheel disc brakes taming that beast of a motor's
power. Keeping the 255/60/15 Goodyear rubber in touch with the road
is a dual A-arm front suspension with an inverted leaf spring out
back, complemented with power steering.
With an eye-popping paint job that remains correct to the car and a
reliable, fuel injected V8 under the hood, this Corvette is ready
for duty! Take it to the show or take it to work, this car will
bring complements wherever it goes. Call today!
