This Chevrolet Corvette C3 got away, but there are more like it here.

1972 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe

Bid to $25,000 on 8/29/23

This 1972 Chevrolet Corvette coupe is finished in Elkhart Green over Saddle vinyl upholstery and is powered by a 350ci V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes a PosiTraction limited-slip differential, removable roof panels, 15″ Rally wheels, disc brakes, power steering, retractable headlights, an alarm system, a tilting and telescoping steering column, power windows, removable rear window, and a push-button radio. The seller purchased the car in 2015, reportedly from the second owner. This C3 Corvette is now offered with NCRS and Bloomington Gold awards, a window sticker, and a clean North Carolina title in the seller’s name.

The car is finished in Elkhart Green (946), and details include removable roof panels, pop-up headlights, twin front grilles, fender vents, quadruple taillights, and dual rectangular exhaust outlets. The seller reports evidence of repair on the left-front bumper is present.

The 15″ Rally wheels are mounted with F70-15 Goodyear Wide Tread white-letter tires. Stopping power is provided by power-assisted ventilated rotors and four-piston calipers at each corner. The car is equipped with a fully independent suspension as well as power steering.

The cabin features bucket seats trimmed in Saddle vinyl (417) that extends to the center console and door panels. Amenities include an alarm system, power windows, and a push-button radio. The air conditioning does not blow cold, and imperfections on the upholstery and door panels can be seen in the gallery.

The three-spoke steering wheel is mounted on a tilting and telescoping column and frames a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer. A clock and an ammeter along with auxiliary gauges for fuel level and water temperature are mounted in the center stack. The oil pressure gauge does not work. The five-digit odometer shows 79k miles.

The 350ci V8 was factory rated at 200 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque and is fitted with a chrome air cleaner lid and ignition cover.

The engine block stamping is shown above.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission and a PosiTraction limited-slip differential. Corrosion on underbody components is present.

The car was awarded Bloomington Gold Survivor, Gold Certified, and Benchmark awards along with the NCRS Bowtie and NCRS Top Flight awards. The awards will be included in the sale.
