Description

When it debuted for 1970, the Corvette’s new “LT-1” engine option (a high-output 350) drew rave reviews from car critics for its powerful, free-revving nature and great soundtrack. Fortified with a solid-lifter camshaft, this engine really came alive at higher rpm. The LT-1 option was offered through 1972, and at nearly $500 it was considerably more expensive than the LS-5 454 option (at around $300). As such, these are relatively rare cars. Here we have a beautiful, sympathetically restored, mostly survivor example of a correct, numbers-matching 1972 Corvette LT-1 coupe. In addition to being the last year of the front and rear chrome bumpers, 1972 was also the last year for the removeable rear window, grate-style side vents and an engine with solid lifters. Also, as serious C3 fans likely know, this was the only year you could get air conditioning with the LT-1 engine. Of the 1,741 1972 Corvettes equipped with the LT-1, this car is one of only approximately 240 (according to most sources) to have both the LT-1 and A/C. Note that this car has had just one meticulous owner since 1988. This no-hit Corvette is finished in a gorgeous respray of its correct Elkhart Green. The fit and shut lines of the body panels are among the best we've ever seen in a C3 and the underside is clean and rock solid. The 'vette's serious curb appeal is boosted even further by the Rally wheels wearing BF Goodrich radials and the original, mint chrome exhaust outlets. In addition to the desirable LT-1 V8 and air conditioning, other option highlights of this special car include power steering, power brakes, the custom leather interior, a tilt/telescopic steering wheel and an AM/FM radio. Note that the interior was restored as needed, which meant new door panels and a full reupholster kit that included new foam seat cushions as well as the new leather covers. With its chrome air cleaner and finned aluminum valve covers, the LT-1 V8 has the eye candy to go along with its strong performance. The powertrain is numbers-matching, including the 4-speed gearbox. Out on the open road, this Corvette LT-1 runs and drives great. It doesn’t get much better than cruising on a winding country road with the T tops off on a sunny day and the V8 singing. This stunning and very rear Corvette comes with an extensive ownership history going back to 1976, the owner’s manual, the 1972 Corvette sales brochure, various LT-1 magazine articles and an NCRS Shipping Data report.
