This Corvette has had only two owners since 1972. It wears much of its original paint which, despite some touched-up scratches here and there, is in remarkable condition and still grabs eyeballs wherever it goes. The chrome bumpers, rocker trim, and Rally wheels are a wonderful complement to the attractive code 946 Elkhart Green.

The unique C3 wiper door adds to the sleek look too. You can also remove the T-tops and rear window for a delightful open-air motoring experience. The engine is the original CKW-code 350 ci which carried factory ratings of 200 hp and 360 ft-lbs of torque. Note 1972 was the first year that power ratings changed from gross to net, meaning this is comparable to

1971s 270 hp figure. The 4-speed Muncie transmission really adds to the fun factor in these cars while the 3.36 rear end allows good highway cruising. There have been many recent mechanical updates including a new power steering box, master cylinder, calipers, control arm bushings, steering bushings, resealed carburetor, and more.

The code 421 Saddle leather interior is the perfect companion to the green exterior. The bucket seats have been redone with new leather and look fantastic. The steering wheel and door panels have also been replaced, and the radio was upgraded to a modern digital unit. There is also a new heater core. Options include air conditioning that still runs on R12 refrigerant

plus a tilt / telescoping steering column and power windows.

The headlights, wipers, and vacuum doors all function properly. The gauges, horn, heater, defroster, vents, turn signals, backup lights, dash lights, and parking brake are all functional too. Even the factory backdrive / reverse lockout mechanism is there. This 1972 model represents the last of the C3 glory years as subsequent models lost many of the designs special features and saw power levels succumb to emission restrictions and inferior gasoline. The car is very attractive and fun to drive as well. While the prices of some classic Corvettes are well into six figures, this one remains an affordable piece that can still be enjoyed.
