BK Auto Auctions presents this rare 1972 Chevrolet Corvette LT-1 Convertible, that has been a part of the present owner’s portfolio since December 2011. This Chevrolet was sold new in the state of Illinois and the car was owned by an Oklahoma resident when it sold in 2011. The car is well documented, with both the Protect-O-Plate and original two-page tank sticker. 65,000 miles is showing on the car’s odometer and it is believed to be original and correct, however, this car is sold as “mileage exempt” due to age. This car is being sold with a clean Missouri title. This is an exceptional rare, classic Corvette that would be a welcome addition to virtually any collector’s portfolio!

Exterior Features:

Finished in Classic White (paint code 972) with a saddle leather interior (code 421), the paint presents very well and the brightwork is in excellent condition.

Interior Features:

The car is loaded with options including air conditioning, power steering, power disc brakes, power windows, tilt/telescoping steering wheel and AM/FM radio. The 1972 model year was the only year factory air-conditioning was available with the LT-1 engine, making it a very rare option. Full gauges are present and the correct 5,600 redline RPM tachometer (non-A/C cars showed a 6,500 RPM redline) sits inside the dash.

Drivetrain:

The LT-1 engine numbers match the final digits of the car’s VIN. The engine build date is May 10, 1972 which would be consistent for the June 1, 1972 build date of the car.  A correct Muncie four-speed with factory shifter delivers power to the rear differential.
