1972 Chevrolet Corvette C3

This 1972 Chevrolet Corvette convertible is finished in Ontario Orange over black vinyl upholstery and is powered by a 350ci L48 V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes a white soft top, 15″ Rally-style wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, power steering, retractable headlights, power windows, air conditioning, and a Delco radio. The car spent several years in Indiana and was acquired by the seller on BaT in September 2021. Subsequent service included replacing the shocks, control arm bushings, radiator, ignition coil, spark plugs, drive belts, transmission mount, and various seals in addition to recharging the air conditioning system, performing fluid changes, and installing a Holley Sniper fuel injection system and Pertronix electronic ignition. This C3 Corvette is offered with service records and a clean Florida title in the name of the seller’s company. The car is finished in Ontario Orange, and features include a white convertible top, retractable headlights, chrome bumpers, twin front grilles, fender vents, quadruple taillights, and dual rectangular exhaust outlets. The seller notes swirls and imperfections in the paint. The convertible top seal and side window guides were replaced under current ownership. Silver-finished 15″ Rally-style wheels wear bright center caps with beauty rings and are mounted with 215/70 BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. Stopping power is provided by ventilated rotors at each corner, and the car is equipped with a fully independent suspension. The front and rear shocks, lower control arms, and ball joints were replaced, the emergency brake was adjusted, and the brake fluid was flushed in September 2022. The cabin features bucket seats trimmed in black vinyl along with a color-coordinated dashboard, center console, door panels, and carpeting. Amenities include air conditioning, power windows, a polished shift knob, and retractable lap belts. An inoperable Delco AM/FM radio is located in the center stack. The heater core has been removed, and the air conditioning system was recharged under current ownership. The three-spoke steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and a 7k-rpm tachometer. A clock along with auxiliary gauges for fuel level, water temperature, oil pressure, and amperage are mounted in the center stack. The five-digit odometer indicates 39k miles, approximately 300 of which were added under current ownership. The 350ci L48 V8 was modified under current ownership with the installation of a Holley Sniper fuel injection system and Pertronix electronic ignition. Additional work included flushing the power steering fluid and replacing the radiator, ignition coil, spark plugs, valve cover gaskets, radiator hoses, drive belts, and oil pan gasket. The engine block stamping is shown above, and the CKW suffix corresponds to a 350ci V8 paired with a manual transmission. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. The transmission mount and tail shaft seal were replaced under current ownership, and the transmission and differential fluids were flushed at that time.
