1972 CHEVROLET CORVETTE CONVERTIBLE 4-SPEED

OVERVIEW

This 1972 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible was restored in the late 1980s. It is powered by a 350cid V8 crate engine backed by a four-speed manual transmission. Features include an LT-1 hood, a tilt and telescoping steering column, an AM/FM digital stereo, and power disc brakes. Finished in red and equipped with a manual black vinyl convertible top over a black vinyl interior, this Corvette comes with the removed original engine, an AM/FM/cassette radio, a fitted car cover, and a clear title in the seller's name.

EXTERIOR – FEATURES

During the restoration in the late 1980s, the exterior was changed from the original color of Sunflower Yellow (code 912) to red. Features include chrome bumpers, pop-up headlights, an LT-1 hood, hideaway windshield wipers, a driver-side rearview mirror, a manual black vinyl convertible top, a rear-mounted antenna, and a luggage rack. The seller states that this Corvette has been garage-kept since the restoration was completed, but notes that a few minor chips are present on the front end.
