Description for Chevrolet Corvette 1972
THIS IS A 1972 CHEVY CORVETTE COUPE WITH ORIGINAL 350 CUBIC INCH WITH THE GOOD 360 FT. LBS. OF TORQUE SMALL BLOCK CHEVY ENGINE. ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY DIS-ASSEMBLED AND GONE THROUGH AND DIDN'T EVEN NEED TO BE BORED BUT BECAUSE WE OWNED A SPEED SHOP I WANTED IT BETTER THAN NEW AND NOW MAKES MUCH MORE HORSEPOWER WITHOUT LOSING ANY DRIVABILITY . HAS 38,101 ORIGINAL MILES ON ALL NUMBERS MATCHING ORIGINAL MOTOR. HOT TANKED AND BRAND NEW BEARINGS AND SEALS AND FELPRO GASKETS THROUGHOUT. TOOK ABSOLUTELY NO SHORTCUTS AND MOTOR SOUNDS AWESOME.I PUT A EDELBROCK CHROME INTAKE AND A HOLLEY CARB ON IT JUST SO IT WOULD RUN A LITTLE BETTER THEN THE JUNKIE STOCK CAST IRON INTAKE AND QUADRAJUNK.ALSO PUT ON PERFORMANCE IGNITION PARTS AND CHROME ALTERNATOR. CAN SEND VIDEOS SO YOU CAN HEAR CAR FIRE UP ON 1ST CLICK OF IGNITION AND IDLE PERFECT AND SOUND PHENOMENAL THROUGH STAINLESS EXHAUST. TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT AND SUPER STRONG AND WAY, WAY BETTER THAN NEW. HAS BEEN RE-PAINTED AND IS BETTER THAN NEW BY A PROFESSIONAL AWARD WINNING CAR PAINTER AS SCENE IN PICTURES. CAR SITS ON SOME AWESOME AMERICAN RACING 17" X 8" POLISHED ALUMINUM TORQUE THRUST WHEELS THAT WERE CUSTOM MADE WITH SOME NEW PERFORMANCE TIRES. EVERYTHING ON THIS CAR IS BETTER THAN WHEN IT ROLLED OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR. EVERY PIECE OF CHROME AND STAINLESS TRIM IS BEAUTIFUL AS WE ALSO OWNED A CHROME PLATING COMPANY AND TOOK ZERO SHORTCUTS. INTERIOR WAS ANOTHER FAVOR CALLED IN TO AWARD WINNING INTERIOR GUY. PROFESSIONALLY DONE SEATS AND NEW CARPET BUT DAS, GAUGES AND STEERING WHEEL ARE ALL ORIGINAL AND LIKE NEW. EXTERIOR PAINT IS AWESOME. INTERIOR IS AWESOME. WHEELS AND TIRE, BRAKE, SUSPENSIO, ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION ARE ALL AWESOME. HAVING A FAMILY OWNED SPEED SHOP FOR 50 YEARS WE CALLED IN MANY FAVORS TO DO THIS CAR FOR MY MOTHER WHO BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW IN 1972. WOULD HAVE COST $40,000 TO FINISH THIS CAR HAD WE NOT HAD SO MANY FAVORS CALLED IN. CAR WAS FINISHED FOR A PARADE AND FUNERAL FOR A EMPLOYEE FROM THE SPEED SHOP WHO PASSED AWAY AND SINCE HAS BEEN DRIVEN VERY LITTLE SO WERE LETTING IT GO.CAR WILL COME WITH CAR COVER. ALSO COMES WITH SOME EXTRA PARTS LIKE CHROME EXHAUST TIP BODY TRI, NEW A/C VENT, DOOR KNOB, INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES AND MORE THAT I'M THROWING IN. ALSO WILL COME WITH ORIGINAL 1972 CORVETTE OWNERS MANUAL. ALSO COMES WITH COWL TRIM THAT I HAD PROFESSIONALLY RE-DONE BUT NEVER HAD TIME TO BUY NEW TRIM CLIPS FOR. ALSO COMES WITH ANTENNA CORD. IF I CAN FIND ORIGINAL CAST IRON INTAKE THAT I HAD POWDER COATED ORANGE BEFORE BUYING THE EDELBROCK CHROME ONE I WILL THROW THAT IN.
ONLY THING THAT I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO FINISH WAS THE COWL TRIM AS MENTIONED EARLIER JUST NEEDS SOME CLIPS TO MOUNT AND REPLACING THE FACTORY AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER THAT WAS TAKEN OFF AND FIXING VACUUM HOSE OR MOTOR TO WIPER COWL. I JUST DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO MESS WITH CARS ANYMORE RUNNING THE SPEED SHOP FULL TIME SO THAT WILL GIVE THE NEXT GUY SOMETHING TO DO AS HE WILL BE BORED AS EVERYTHING ELSE IS BETTER THAN YOU COULD IMAGINE. CAR LOOKS AND RUNS GREAT AND JUST NEEDS A NEW HOME TO SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO ENJOY IT.
CAR WOULD HAVE TO BE PICKED UP FROM SAINT JOHN INDIANA 46373. 2 HOURS FROM INDY AND LESS THAN A HOUR FROM CHICAGO. CALL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS ON MY CELL 708-275-8402. I CAN TRY AND TEXT VIDEO OF THE CAR SO YOU CAN HEAR IT FIRE UP.
