Matching Numbers Original Owner '72 Corvette Stingray T-Top.
I drove this Vette off the showroom floor in 1972 and have treated it with TLC ever since. It's the perfect Vette for everyday use. Drive it to school, work, shopping. You use it and love it because it's set up to run for year 'round fun. Sweet !
This matching number '72 (except for Electronic Ignition) features a ZQ3 350 cubic inch V8 generates 360 pounds of torque, Turbo hydra-matic automatic transmission, Tilt/telescope steering column, Custom interior trim, Power steering, Power brakes, Power Windows, Air conditioning, and deck-mounted trunk rack, which was a popular period accessory. The original saddle-leather seats are immaculate. Check out the original rubble window molding ... still soft as a baby's behind. Same with the T- Top rubber molding. Dashboard is still showroom fresh. The gauges are all crisp and their lenses are scratch-free, you’ll think you’re looking at a new vehicle. Chrome is perfect. Even the rally wheel trim rings and center caps are original. When was the last time you saw that? It shows the attention and care this Original Owner Vette has received from me since it rolled off the showroom floor.
This Vette has never been restored; the bonding strips are still intact. All the panel gaps are factory correct. Look underneath: you’ll find a solid, original chassis, straight and clean, with no rust, no issues or warning signs. All the vacuum headlights and wipers work, all the lights and electrical work, more proof that I cherished this car from day one.
And it's the Classic T-Top Stingray, the last to feature both front and rear chrome bumpers, a bright egg-crate grille, and side fender grilles. It was the last with windshield wipers that hid under a vacuum-operated panel. This '72 model was the last Vette to feature the removable rear window. The clean, unadorned look of the early Stingray design, with its chopped-off Kamm-back styling and dramatic flying buttresses framing the rear window make this the last of the true “classic” Stingray Corvettes. It's the epitome of what a Corvette is really supposed to be.
You'll appreciate the attention and loving care this Original Owner Vette has received from me every year since 1972. |
