Car history:
Added to Registry 03/20/2013

This lovely 1972 Corvette Stingray has been nicely restored to a level usually
reserved for early cars with big block engines, and includes some nice options like
factory A/C and a handsome leather interior. Reasonably priced Corvettes are out
there, and there just can't be many nicer than this.


Thanks to a lot of TLC throughout its life, the car needed no bodywork to achieve
the brilliant finish you see today. Shockingly, code 973 Mille Miglia Red was one of
the less common colors for 1972, accounting for only 2478 units that year, fewer
than Elkhart Green, or even plain old Classic White. The finish is not too light, not
too dark, but a strong, bold red that looks great on the timeless shape. All the
panel gaps are factory correct, and there's less orange peel in the paint than you
received in 1972, thanks to careful prep and a good amount of time invested in
buffing the finish. And when it comes to C3s, you're either a chrome bumper guy
or a rubber bumper guy-this one sports the original style chrome units that frame
the egg crate grilles up front and add interest to the flat rear panel. The stainless
appears to be original, and even the accessory luggage rack on the rear deck is
bright, shiny chrome with no issues.


As a well-maintained car, the line between the original components and new
pieces is blurry, but that's a good thing. The interior shows just the right amount
of patina, and it's difficult to determine what has been replaced. We suspect the
door panels and seat covers are new, but the carpets, which are protected by
floor mats, may very well be original. The gauges are crisp and their lenses are
scratch-free, more proof that someone cherished this car from day one. The
center console is excellent, and houses the shifter for the 4-speed manual, which
makes this car a rarity among its C3 siblings. Other features include factory A/C,
power windows, a tilt wheel, and a newer AM/FM/cassette stereo head unit
complete with CORVETTE logo on its face. Pull the T-tops and hit the road!


The engine is a neatly-dressed 350 cubic inch small block that gives this Corvette
enough potency that most cars are still advised to leave it alone. The engine bay
shows signs of loving care throughout its life, and though much of it has been
restored and the engine rebuilt, the condition of the inner fenders and firewall
suggest that this car has always been clean. Details like the chrome air cleaner
and ignition shield add a lot of eye candy, along with a set of finned valve covers
that look great. The small block runs beautifully, starting almost instantly and it
sounds awesome exhaling through a set of long-tube headers into a healthy dual
exhaust system. It's tidy underneath, not detailed for show but with no warning
signs, either, and with a set of classic Rallys, it looks the part of a performance icon.
