Car history:
1972 Corvette Custom, Football Hall of Famer Dick Butkus Owned and Restored, 350CI, 4 Speed. '72 Corvette, owned, restored and customized by Football Hall of Famer Dick Butkus over the past 10 years and at a cost over $55k, not including the car itself. The car is titled and the registration is current in Dick's name. Butkus played for the Chicago Bears of the National Football League and is widely regarded as one of the best and most durable linebackers of all time. The work was for the most part performed by the well known restorers of Lasky Coachworks (of OverHaulin fame among others) with upholstery by the highly regarded custom interior shop of Mike Ambrose, both of West Los Angeles. Custom features include: 1 Piece Tilt Up LT1 style hood with fixed head lights Incredibly gorgeous Blue Metallic Paint with mild pearl effect, Leather Seats with Contrasting Piping in Blue, Upgraded sound system, Chrome Side Pipes. Restoration work covered virtually every aspect of the car: Suspension and Steering Rebuilt, all new joints and shocks, chassis components variously refinished, Brakes including renewal of all hydraulic components and hoses, Engine refurbished with high performance cam, headers, ignition, 4bbl, Edelbrock and many other components and details, Transmission and clutch, Exhaust System, Carpets throughout, Re-Chromed bumpers, Body Gaskets and Seals, Wheels refinished and Beauty Rings Polished, Fresh Tires, And many other details with many original details still in place The work is of high quality and was carried out over a period of time, during which the car was regularly driven and maintained, but never accumulated many miles. Thus the work is holding up very nicely indeed. The '72 is of course the last year of the narrow bumpers and the removable rear glass, which beautifully complements open air the T-Tops. This car starts runs and drives very nicely and grabs loads of attention wherever it goes. The pictures don't begin to do it justice. It makes good power, feels very tight and stops as it should. It's a great example of one of those projects that may have gotten a little out of hand resulting in a big loss for the owner and a big gain for the next owner. Clear title in hand. $15,100 and running with no reserve. September 8, 2015.
