1972 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible Pay attention people, you don't see this very often. Up for auction is this beautiful 1972 Corvette resto mod. Drivetrain consists of a LS1/6 speed combo courtesy of a 2000 F-body(Camaro/Firebird) professional installed orienting the shifter perfectly in the stock shifter location. This is the most important part when installing this engine/trans combo in a C3 Vette. Engine harness has been professionally converted and PCM has been performance tuned for this application. - The body: A very clean and straight body and chassis. Frame is solid and no flaky rust or rot as you commonly see out there. Body is super straight with a beautiful paint job that is deep and clear. The color is the original somewhat rare steel cities gray code 988. Hood has been updated to the LT-1 flavor which is my personal favorite. Undercarriage is not show condition and could stand for a little elbow grease detail but not terrible. All seals, door jambs, top cover, hood underside nice and clean. Convertible top clean and soft, operates as it should and in very good condition. - Interior: Beautifully restored with new components and carbon fiber inserts in console and door panels. Seats are from a C5 Corvette mounted to C3 tracks and work real well for both comfort and looks. Gauges have been upgraded to white face Autometers including a clock! Audio system has been upgraded including stereo, speakers and amplifier. Shifter is nice and tight. Interior is restored very nicely and ready for cruising. - Drivetrain: As mentioned earlier, a modern LS1 5.7L engine backed by a 6 Speed transmission that starts and runs perfectly. Transmission operates properly through all gears with no bearing noises or synchro issues. Exhaust is full dual from LS1 factory style manifolds to Flowmaster mufflers with factory style tips. The exhaust sounds perfect, just the right amount of aggressiveness without being annoying or drone. Cooling system modern as well with electric fans, engine runs nice and cool. Air intake is also a modern style cold air feed from the grilles through K&N filters. The beauty of this set up is reliability and fuel economy. I wouldn't hesitate to drive this across country. - Wheels & Tires: Staggered custom made Boyd Coddington wheels 17" front 18" rear wrapped with Michelin Pilot sport tires. Combo has a real good fit and appearance as well as improves ride and performance. Brakes rebuilt and operate properly. - Chrome & Glass: All in very nice condition with no pitting or imperfections. Please bid to win and only if you intend to purchase. Auctions are serious business and there is no time for dreamers. SO pay attention and bid often and don't be afraid to bid your max, reserve is lower than you think on this one, it needs to leave the collection to make room for another toy.

My camera was set to low quality for easy uploading so the pictures do not do this car any justice. The paint & body quality and color are much better in person and you won't be disappointed. As far as other cars in the collection for sale, there will be a few more coming up for auction in the future so save me to your favorites. Reserve is real close people so bid to win, this car will sell so don't snooze. Look at the pics, she is sooo sexy!
