1972 Chevrolet Corvette

Gateway Classic Cars Houston showroom is pleased to offer for sale this gorgeous blue 1972 Chevrolet Corvette. As most Corvette aficionados are aware, 1972 was the last year for front and rear chrome bumpers, and saw the beginning of the use of SAE "net power" ratings, which meant that power was rated with all engine accessories in place. This particular Corvette has the 200HP L48 4BBL engine; which, when converted back to gross HP (like a 1971 rating would have used), would have been approximately 270HP. Backing the potent V8 is a GM TH350 3-speed automatic transmission. This 1972 Corvette is believed to be a numbers-matching car (not fully verified, but the block stamping pad's numbers correctly match the VIN, and don't appear to be a re-stamp). One of the few non-factory elements on this car is a large Griffin aluminum radiator, which goes a long way to improve the engine cooling vs. the OEM radiator. The car also appears to be in its original Targa Blue color (code 979), which in the right lighting, has such depth that it presents elements of having a purplish hue. Very attractive, indeed! The chrome is bright all around, including the beauty rings on the Rally Wheels contrasts nicely with the blue. The steel Rally Wheels with their P225/75R14 raised white letter BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires add to the correct look of this 1972 Corvette and provide improved handling over the original bias ply tires.

Inside, the black carpet and synthetic leather seating look very good and are the correct black interior color. Drivers will appreciate the tilt steering wheel, and the new A/C compressor provides for comfort all year. Additional features and options on this 1972 Corvette for sale include AM/FM Radio, Power Brakes, Power Steering, Raised White Letter Radial Tires, Seat Belts, T-Tops, Tilt Steering Wheel, and Vinyl Interior.
