Car history: |
Posted 06/05/2019
Out of the 27,004 Corvettes that were built in 1972, only 1,741 of them were ordered with the LT-1 engine. Of those, it's generally noted that only 240 left that factory with factory A/C. But it's not known how many of those were convertibles, many Corvette enthusiasts have done the math as far as production percent and it's generally assumed that less than 30 were LT-1/AC convertibles. This gorgeous 1972 Corvette LT-1 convertible is one of these rare Vettes. Restored and documented by still having the original tank sticker on the fuel tank, this LT-1 belongs in any serious Corvette collector's garage.
Adding more to the legacy of this great Corvette, this LT-1 was originally owned by the late Bob McDermon who was a prolific Corvette collector. This wasn't one of the ones that sold in his massive sale he had 5 years ago or so, rather he sold this one in 1984. For the first 12-years of its life it was in the hands of this collector and was sold from his collection with 40,524 miles. We know these details, because this vette comes with complete ownership history. Actually, not only do we have the complete ownership history, but each owner seemed to know exactly how rare this vehicle was and held on to every receipt that they ever spent on the car from 1978 on! That's right, we have every receipt, registration, bill of sale, copies of titles, inspections, etc.. from 1978 on! All of those receipts point to one thing - Everyone who has owned this vehicle cared for it and meticulously maintained it.
Today it sits in incredible shape and the current owner has owned the vehicle since he purchased it from the experts at Pro-Team Corvette in 1998. The engine has been rebuilt back to factory specs, it received a very expensive $7,000 full paint job in 1997 and today you can see that money was well spent as it clearly was performed by a shop who knew what they were doing. The removable hardtop is in good shape, but it does have a minor dime-size cut in the vinyl on the top.
