1972 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

Description

Introduced for 1968, the third-generation Corvette, commonly known as the C3, brought dramatic styling inspired by Chevrolet's Mako Shark II concept while retaining the sports car performance that had defined the model since its debut. 1972 marked the final year featuring both front and rear chrome bumpers, making it a distinctive and desirable C3 model.

This 1972 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is finished in light metallic blue over a blue vinyl interior and is powered by a replacement 350ci V8 installed prior to the seller's acquisition and paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes 15-inch Rally-style wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, power steering, air conditioning, a tilt/telescoping steering column, and a black soft top.

The seller reports that the headlight vacuum system has been repaired and that the convertible top, inner door cards, LED taillights, and engine oil have been replaced.

This 1972 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is now offered with a clean Colorado title in the seller’s name.
