This 1972 Corvette Convertible is the kind of classic Corvette that appreciates in value. The paint is the rare Hunter Green with a tan interior, this car has gone through a complete frame-on restoration, and I mean everything has been done. The goal was simple: bring it back to life, but better than new. Every nut and bolt has been checked, replaced, or restored. The suspension is fresh with new shocks, the power brake system has been entirely replaced, and it’s riding on new tires with clean, classic original rally wheels. Even the battery’s brand new, the kind of thing that tells you this car hasn’t just been sitting pretty, it’s been loved, maintained, and garage kept it's whole life.

The paint and bodywork are in absolutely perfect condition, deep shine, smooth finish, no corners cut. Inside, the interior looks and feels like a time capsule, but better! The car has just over 22,000 miles , she drives, moves, and feels like a brand new 1972!

1972 is the last of the chrome-bumper convertibles, the start of a new horsepower rating system, and a living, breathing example of what a proper restoration looks like.

The 1972 Corvette holds a special place in Corvette collector hearts because it was the last year for the iconic chrome front and rear bumpers, giving it that classic American muscle look before federal safety regulations were implemented changed everything we know about American Muscle Cars. It also marked the start of the net horsepower rating era, making the numbers seem lower even though the performance stayed strong. 1972 was a turning point year high HP and powerful, right before the U.S. emissions and bumper laws started bumping down muscle cars. With lower production numbers in 1972, especially for convertibles, and so many of these cars lost to time or abuse, a clean, restored '72 like this one stands out. It's a snapshot of the end of an era, and as fewer clean examples remain, values continue to climb, making it not just a beautiful car, but a smart investment. To put it in perspective this car was $5,197 brand new and cost $40k today, better than the stock market!

 

This C3 Stingray Convertible comes equipped with the 350ci V8 Engine (200hp), 3-Speed Automatic Transmission, Original Factory Air Conditioning, Power Steering, Power Brakes, Chrome Bumpers, Dual Exhaust, Removable Tan Soft Top, Rally Wheels with Trim Rings, 100% Original Motor, Trans, Drivetrain, and the Original AM/FM Radio. It is in excellent showroom condition and has been very well preserved.
