Market commentary
1972 was the last year for the LT1 option, by which time the engine made 270 horsepower, a full 100 down from what it made in 1970. Modifications on this 72 LT1 are claimed to have brought it back up to the 1970 number of 370. It was reported sold at here in 2012 for a generous $63,600 and offered at Mecum Dallas in 2014 with a reported high bid of $35,000. The price here was right on the money for a 72 example, but the buyer here gets the performance of a more desirable early LT1 at a considerable discount while accepting the risks inherent in buying a modified car. All in all, a reasonable result.
