| Car history: |
Seven Hills Motorcars is very proud to offer this low mileage numbers matching 1972 LS5 big block Corvette with a 4-Speed and air conditioning that is absolutely loaded with options. The car looks good, runs great, and is a blast to drive. It has some of the most sought-after and rare option packages for a 1972 Corvette. This is an excellent opportunity to own a very desirable Corvette at an unbeatable value. One could easily buy this car now and sell it for more than the purchase price with minimal work and effort. The low mileage is supported not only by the condition of the car, but also the clear Ohio title, pictured below, that states the mileage as, "Actual."
Besides the big options like the LS5 engine, M20 4-Speed, and C60 air- conditioning, this Corvette is loaded with other options such as rear window defroster, power brakes, power steering, P02 wheel covers, and even a stereo radio. A numbers marching original big block Corvette is always very special. The big block coupled with a 4-speed transmission is most ideal. The original a/c is just icing on the cake and especially rare for a big block car. This Corvette gets a ton of attention going down the road. I cannot even count the number of compliments I have received while driving this car. Please peruse all of the photos and numbers below to get a true sense of how original and nice this Corvette really is.
The 1972 Corvette was truly the end of an era. 1972 was the last year to feature chrome bumpers and and "egg crate" grill, it is considered to be the last year of truly classic Corvettes. This model year is widely considered to be the best out of the entire C3 generation. Years after were more at the mercy of insurance companies, fuel prices, and emission concerns, 1972 is considered the last true "vintage" Corvette. It was also the last year to feature a pop out rear window on the coupe, and the first year that the way horsepower ratings are measured changed from gross to the more accurate net. As in investment, the 1972 will always have an advantage and out perform other years because of its precedence as the end of a a very great period for Corvette and muscle cars as a whole.
As a side note, this Corvette is not a dealer auction vehicle. Our Corvettes come from owners who expect their cars to go to someone that will give the vehicle the same care and attention as they did. We invite and encourage you to examine the car in person or have the car inspected. Please take the time to scrutinize each picture. We photograph each vehicle to the greatest extent so you can feel confident about your purchase. If you have a question about the Corvette, just give us a call.
Exterior The War Bonnet Yellow exterior is in presentable driver condition. As one can see in the photos the finish has a decent gloss and smooth finish. The chrome bumpers and other bight work on the car look just in person as they do in the photos. There are no major flaws that have been intentionally excluded from the photos. There is some there imperfections, light checking, and touch ups that were too faint to show up in photos, but nothing that is really stands out from about ten feet away. The paintjob has some age and blemishes, which is evident in the photos. I have done my best to accurately and objectively photograph the car and show the flaws, but some are too small or cannot be picked up by the camera. One should really view the car in person to get the best and most accurate idea of what the car really looks like. For the most part however, the car looks in person as it does in the photos. There is some delamination on the bottom corner of the windshield that is visible in the photos. The tires are literally brand new with less than 50 miles on them.
Please note that all of the glass on this car, the windshield, the "Astro Ventilation" door glass, and even the pop out rear window, is date coded and original as each piece predate the car's body build date of October 27, 1971 (C27). Original glass is a good indication that this car has had no major accident history and never sustained significant damage. Interior The saddle interior of the Corvette looks marvelous. The seats look virtually brand new with no rips, splits seams, or signs of wear. They are not worn in the typical areas such as where the driver gets in and out. The carpet throughout the car is in "like new" condition as well with no stains, rips, or holes. This includes the rear carpet, which is often neglected. The dash and console are in great condition with no cracks, fading, or sun damage. The original jack and jack handle are still with the car in the rear storage compartment. The door panels are in good shape with some small cracks on the passenger side, which, as once can seen in the photos, is not very noticeable. The original pedal pads are not excessively worn, and, as one can see from the photos, show normal wear for a car with this mileage. This car has not been smoked in; there is no aroma whatsoever. The original jack and jack handle are still with the car stowed correctly behind the passenger seat. The t-top storage bags are also included with the car. Corvette interiors are not known to wear well and the good condition of this interior is a testament to the meticulous care this car has received throughout it's life.
Mechanical This car seems to be in good mechanical condition. According to the previous owner the engine was recently rebuilt and has seen limited use since. The car drives terrifically; it is smooth on the road and at highway speeds. There is no smoke when starting or driving the car. The brakes are responsive and do not pull to one side or the other. The clutch feels good and the transmission shifts well. Also, the engine compartment is nicely detailed as one can see in the photos. This Corvette has plenty of power and is very fast. The horn works as do the headlights, fan for the heater and a/c, all gauges (with the obvious exception of the clock), wipers, lights, power windows, and the original stereo radio. The vacuum system for the headlights and wipers works and operates properly with both the main switches and vacuum override switches. The old style original compressor takes a lot of power to spin, but even the air conditioning blows cold. Like almost all of the C3 Corvettes we deal with, the parking brake is weak. Not enough can be said as to how much of a pleasure it is to drive this car, especially with the 4-Speed, extra power and torque from the LS5, and the t-tops out on a beautiful day.
Overall Condition Overall, this 1972 Corvette is in great driver condition. It is a great value and we have priced it to sell. This car turns heads and gets ton of attentions wherever it goes. Numbers matching is extremely important in Corvette pricing, especially with big block and other highly optioned cars. In my opinion and based on our experience the "Chrome Bumper" cars from 1968-1972 are the most collectible in the entire Corvette market right now. Of those years, the 1969 and 1972 are the most desirable. The value of these cars has gone up exponentially in recent years. The "Chrome Bumper" years have not had the detrimental over inflation that the mid year Corvettes have suffered from. They are all solid investments for a collector. Cars like this are the Barrett Jackson stars of the future. One could easily enjoy this vehicle for several years and sell it for more than the purchase price with minimal effort.
Thank you for looking and please email or call with any questions.
