Car history:
This car is a great driver Corvette that needs nothing and is essentially "turn key". It has been driven just over 73,000 miles since new. The mileage is correct and original; this is verified on the title with the mileage marked as "Actual". This Corvette is finished in one of the most beautiful and desirable color combinations of red over saddle. It features leather seats, automatic transmission, power windows, power steering, and air conditioning that actually still works. I have received compliments whenever I have driven the car; it always turns heads and gets a ton of attention. The 1972 Corvette was truly the end of an era. 1972 was the last year to feature chrome bumpers and an "egg crate" grill, it is considered to be the last year of the truly classic Corvettes. Years after were more at the mercy of insurance companies, fuel prices, and emission concerns, 1972 is considered the last "good" year. It was also the last year to feature a pop out rear window, and the first year that the way horsepower ratings are measured changed from gross to the more accurate net. Exterior: The Red exterior paint is in nice driver condition. The paint’s finish has a smooth finish and a nice gloss. Often many Corvettes will have particularly chipped up front ends, this car does not. The underside of the front end is in great condition. This part of the car is very fragile and a it is a great sign that there is no damage in there. There are numerous blemishes and cracks in the paint around the car, especially on the hood and front fenders, that were too small or faint to show in in photos, but nothing that is really noticeable from about 10 feet away. I have specifically a couple photos some of the areas on the left front fender. The chrome and other bight work looks great. The beauty rings look like new with no curb rash. This car has absolutely no rust issues. The frame is totally solid and I have not noticed any corrosion around the windshield or "A" pillar. All of the "Astro Ventilation" side glass is date coded and original to this car as each piece predates the build date of the car, November 1, 1971. This is a good indication that the car has never been in a major accident and never sustained any significant damage. Driver: YN - The "Y" denotes October and "N" 1971 so the driver's side window was made in October of 1971. Passenger: AN - The "A" denotes September and "N" 1971 so the driver's side window was made in September of 1971. Rear: UN - The "U" denotes July and "N" 1971 so the driver's side window was made in July of 1971. Interior: The saddle interior of the Corvette is in very nice condition. The seats have no hole or split seams and show little wear. I have specifically included a photo of the area where the driver gets in and out because this it is so prone to excessive deterioration. The carpet is also in good condition with no rips, holes, or stains. This includes the rear carpet, which is often neglected. All of the gauges work, with the obvious exception of the clock. The dash and center console look awesome and have no tears, cracks, or sun fading. The t-top storage bags are also included with the car. The car has not been smoked in, there is no ash in the ashtray or aroma what so ever. Mechanical: This Corvette is in terrific mechanical condition with no issues. It is a 100% turn key Corvette that needs absolutely nothing that I am aware of. It starts up quickly, runs well, and idles well. There is no smoke when starting or driving the car. Even the original a/c still works and blows cold. The car drives tight on the road and highway with no strange noises or vibrations. This Corvette has plenty of power, it is very fast. The transmission is solid and the car shifts smoothly. The car brakes straight but requires some extra effort because this car came from the factory with manual brakes. The headlights pop up quickly with no effort or binding. The pull down vacuum override switch for the headlights works as well. All of the interior and exterior lights work. It is tight on the road and at highway speeds. Overall Condition: Overall the vehicle is in wonderful condition for a driver. I have personally driven this Corvette a coupled hundred mile on the car this summer and it has been flawlessly reliable. The early third generation Corvette Stingrays are beyond doubt one of the most sound and secure ventures one could make into the Corvette market. The "chrome bumper" Corvettes from 1968 to 1972 are highly desirable and have continued to go up in value over the years with 1972 and 1969 being the most collectable years. One could easily buy this car now, drive and enjoy it for several years, and then sell it for more than the purchase price. It always gets attention going down the road. The Corvette always turns heads and is admired by every car enthusiast. $15,500. 73,375 miles from the odometer. Color codes from the trim plate. Built date is D01. July 22, 2010.
