1972 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 2dr Coupe with brand new rebuilt engine for sale in Scottsdale, AZ 85253 PLEASE MESSAGE ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS Overview New rebuilt 350cu Engine, Runs fantastic! 3 Speed Automatic Beautiful Paint Job Non Working Factory AC Garage Kept RetroSound Radio looks Vintage but has Bluetooth Smog exempt 46.4K miles odometer miles, less than 100 miles on Engine Electronic Ignition New Parts Include: Carburetor Fuel Pump and Lines Water Pump Radiator Hoses Brakes, Rotors, Master Cylinder Front Tires Gas Tank Leather Seats Carpet and Floor Mats Transmission gasket, Valve cover and Intake Manifold gasket Description This is an extremely nice, clean, everyday cruising classic corvette. The body is in excellent condition. A car this old in such great condition is very difficult to find. Car has been kept in the garage and covered by last 3 owners (15+ years) and always driven at least once a week. When I bought it, I did everything mechanically to make sure it never left me stranded and it never has. A very reliable driver. This corvette has a beautiful non original pearl white paint job. There is one minor chip on the hood (see picture) and few minor imperfections. It also has new carpet, new floor mats and new custom leather seats. Car has power windows, steering and brakes. The T tops and back window are removable for that convertible experience. I do not have the history on the transmission or rear end but I know they are not original and were replaced at some point. The engine is a brand new rebuilt 350 cu. The car starts right up every time and runs fantastic with a great sounding after market Flow-master exhaust system. Also comes with 3 speed automatic transmission. The frame is excellent and very solid as you would expect from an Arizona car. This is a factory Chevy Air Conditioning setup but is not complete. A/C system missing compressor and no belt so obviously it is non-functional currently. The heater is also non-functioning. Includes original owner’s manual, complete shop and assembly manual and good fitting new black car cover. All in all, this is a nice Corvette. It is not perfect by any means. Most of the gauges work. The oil and charging gauges are non-functioning. Review of these gauges show that they are not connected to sensors. The temperature gauge works but seems a little low in temperature and speedometer reads a little fast. Head lights work but passenger side needs a little push to complete closing. Retrosound radio works and looks like vintage with after-market Bluetooth added and nice sounding speakers. Windshield wipers don’t work. Yes, the Corvette could use a few little things but try to find a better car for the money. Clean, clear Arizona title in hand with current 2025 tags. This car is a blast to drive and gets lots of looks. If you’re serious about owning a classic car please bid on this car. I have invested over $27K (have all receipts) in upgrades and replacement parts.

@Oldsalt – You spent a lot of money on different issues you wanted to address, my question is why not the A/C and heater? are the brackets and pully's there to have one in installed? ...
Thanks for your question. I live in beautiful sunny Arizona and the weather is always fantastic. The majority of time I drive this vehicle without the tops on. There’s been very few times and I wish I would’ve had a heater or air conditioner. That’s why I’ve not bothered fixing them. The pulley and brackets for the compressor are no longer on the vehicle and I don’t have them.
