For Sale: 1972 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray – Iconic American Sports Car Presenting a distinguished 1972 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, a true representation of classic American muscle. This vehicle is a genuine LS5 model, though it currently features a non-original 454 Big Block V8 engine, offering substantial power. It is paired with a Turbo 400 automatic transmission, providing a smooth and robust driving experience. The engine bay is adorned with braided stainless steel radiator hoses, vacuum lines, and upper fuel lines. The chrome valve covers with ridges and a polished stainless steel air cleaner add a touch of sophistication. Headers lead to a dual exhaust system with a distinct, aggressive tone, and the exhaust is elegantly turned out in front of the rear wheels. High-performance Thrush mufflers further enhance its distinctive sound. The car is equipped with an electric fan that optimizes engine performance and horsepower, alongside an electronic ignition distributor and heavy-duty plug wires. Finished in Classic White (code 972), this color was the fourth most popular choice out of ten available options. The 1972 model retains the classic C3 Corvette design with chrome bumpers at both ends, marking the end of an era before the introduction of urethane bumpers in 1973 due to new impact regulations. The car maintains its iconic hideaway headlights and other defining features, solidifying its status as "America’s Sports Car." The interior is elegantly appointed in Saddle Tan leather, featuring mock grain accents throughout. The cockpit includes a real leather shifter boot, wood grain details on hard plastic door panels, and a dashboard with deep plush, horizontally stitched pads. High-back bucket seats offer a blend of luxury and sportiness, reminiscent of a fighter pilot cockpit. Essential controls are within easy reach, and the vehicle is equipped with a 7000 RPM tachometer and a wrapped sport steering wheel. The gauge cluster features a racing flag emblem with specifications for horsepower and torque. Notably, the 1972 model comes with factory air conditioning—a rare and desirable option—and oversized power disc brakes on all four wheels, reflecting GM’s commitment to high-performance braking since 1965. It also features factory-correct rally wheels with chrome beauty rings and “Chevrolet Motor Corporation” caps, paired with raised “Cooper Cobra” white letter radial tires. This Corvette Stingray is a prime example of classic automotive engineering, combining performance, luxury, and iconic design elements.
