If you're a fan of a big power and presence in your Stingray, then you know this 1972 Chevrolet Corvette has all the best features. After all, 454 big block power, four-on-the-floor, and the growl of side pipes are what high-octane dreams are made of...And you can make this one a reality for quite a nice price.



There's something great about the early C3 design. It combines the long and low American look with the flying buttress rear styling of the Europeans. And this one carries nice upgrades like power bulge on hood and side pipes to signal the monster motor within. There have been updates later in life with everything from the red paint to the rear luggage rack. It's nothing too fancy, and since this one leaves room in many budgets compared to other big block classics, you can easily plan to put your personal mark on this one. But right now we already really love the look of a coupe that is clean, complete, and ready to hit the road.



The black interior looks sharp against the red exterior. The high-back bucket seats and carpeting are particularly nice. You may choose to service the factory A/C to get it blowing cold again, or install a modern stereo, but those are the little things. This one really gets your enthusiast blood pumping when you grab the sports steering wheel in your left hand, and rest your right one on the stick shift. And not only do the T-tops come out, but also so does the rear window. So you really get to have a wind-in-your-hair experience as you listen to the side pipes growl.



Under the hood is the look of proper big block power. This is a 454 cubic inch V8 motor, and it has nice features like an MSD ignition, cast valve covers, and an aluminum radiator. It inhales deeply with a four-barrel carburetor, and we can't stress how much we love the tune as this exhales through those side pipes. The four-speed manual transmission is the numbers-matching unit, and it gives you confident control over this full power package. Plus, power steering, four-wheel power disc brakes, and the Corvette's fully independent sports suspension all mean this is a classic that's ready to hit the road.



Complete with owner's manual, this is one special Corvette that loves to show off the best in American muscle. Call now!
