Equipment
402/240hp LS3, automatic, cowl induction hood, hood pins, bench seat, column shift, pushbutton radio, air conditioning, power steering and brakes, Rally dash, build sheet and Protect-O-Plate documented.
Condition
Represented as matching numbers and 50,628 miles. Very good paint and chrome. Excellent top. Very good interior. Tidy underneath. Looks like a body-on restoration done a while ago but very well kept since. It is a smog choked '72, but it has the looks of the more valuable earlier cars and with the 402 LS3 engine, it has that year's hottest smallblock powertrain.
Market commentary
Sold by Mecum in Dallas in 2012, then at the same venue in 2017 for #36,300. It no-saled at Mecum Louisville two weeks later, then was reported sold at Kissimmee in January of this year for $45,100. Its odometer has added just 11 miles in the last nine months on and off transporters. None of which accounts for this result, which is generous by a few bidding increments and a profit of over $15,000 since Kissimmee even after the seller's commission. Of such results are Barrett-Jackson legends made.
