Overview

Introduction

We are pleased to offer this 1972 Chevrolet Corvette Targa, an American classic with character and potential. This iconic C3 Stingray generation Corvette is known for its timeless lines, powerful V8, and pure driving experience.

Historical Significance

The 1972 Corvette holds a special place in Chevrolet's history, as it was the last year that engine power was measured using the traditional gross rating, before stricter emissions regulations were introduced. As a result, the 1972 Corvette is considered one of the last 'pure' Corvettes, with the raw character that the model is famous for.

Vehicle Details

This Corvette is equipped with its original numbers-matching V8 engine, which runs smoothly. The automatic transmission shifts smoothly, making the car a pleasure to drive. The vehicle features power brakes, disc brakes all around, and electric windows. The Corvette's chassis is solid and rust-free, thanks to its California origins. The fiberglass body is in good condition, with tight lines, good fit, and nice door gaps.

The paintwork is several years old and shows signs of wear consistent with a classic of this age, giving the car an authentic look. The car has been standing still for a longer period with old gasoline in the system, so a full technical check and maintenance are recommended for intensive use. Some work will be needed to make the car fully roadworthy and pass a technical inspection. Additionally, the pop-up headlights need to be checked, as only one is functioning properly.

Conclusion

In summary, this is an honest and original 1972 Chevrolet Corvette Targa with its numbers-matching V8 engine, a hard and healthy California-based chassis, and plenty of potential. This is an ideal Corvette for the enthusiast looking for a solid classic to work on technically and perfect to their own wishes.
