We have for sale a unique 1972 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, equipped with the original, factory-delivered matching numbers 454 Big Block V8. This version is highly regarded by enthusiasts due to its powerful engine and the iconic appearance of the early C3 generation.

This Corvette is finished in the rare and original factory color Steel Cities Gray (color code 988), combined with a black interior. A stylish and timeless color combination that perfectly matches the aggressive lines of the Corvette Stingray.

The car is in a beautiful, original condition and forms an excellent starting point for the enthusiast looking for an honest and healthy restoration or refresh project. The paintwork is now over 30 years old and has visibly reached its age, making a new paint job the perfect way to bring the car back to its former glory.

The Corvette C3 was introduced in 1968 and was inspired by the spectacular Mako Shark II concept car. The 1972 models are seen by many experts as one of the last 'pure' Corvette years before stricter emission regulations further limited the power of American muscle cars.

The legendary 454 cubic inch (7.4 liter) Big Block V8 was at the time the largest engine that Chevrolet offered in a Corvette. Thanks to its enormous torque and impressive performance, an original matching numbers 454 Corvette is still one of the most beloved versions within the C3 generation.

In short, an original and attractive 1972 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 454 Big Block in its rare factory color Steel Cities Gray. A healthy project with a lot of potential for the true Corvette enthusiast.
