THIS IS AN ORIGINAL AND COMPLETE 1972 CORVETTE THAT NEEDS COMPLETE RESTORATION. ORIGINALLY A FOUR-SPEED, THE CAR NOW HAS A 350 WITH AN AUTOMATIC SITTING IN THE CAR BUT REMAINS OTHERWISE COMPLETE (WITH THE THREE INTERIOR PEDALS AS ORIGINAL.) EXTERIOR THE BODY IS STRAIGHT BUT DUE TO A TRANSPORTER DAMAGE (WHEN I HAD IT SHIPPED TO US) A NEW LEFT REAR FENDER SHOULD BE GLUED ON AND ITS REPLACEMENT IS INCLUDED WITH THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE CAR. ALL THE CHROME IS COMPLETE SAVE THE FRONT GRILLES WHICH DIDN'T COME WITH THE CAR WHEN WE PURCHASED IT. THERE ARE ALSO A COUPLE OF SMALL CRACKS IN THE FRONT NOSE THAT NEED REPAIRED BEFORE PAINT. THE HOOD IS IN GOOD CONDITION AND HAS NEVER HAD THE HINGES BUSTED OUT. THUS, I WOULD SAY THAT THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED AS IT HAS ALL PRESS MOLDED BODY PANELS. THE WINDSHIELD WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED HOWEVER THE WIPER DOOR ASSEMBLY IS COMPLETE. THE ORIGINAL RALLY WHEELS ARE IN PLACE BUT THE TIRES UNDOUBTEDLY NEED TO BE REPLACED BEFORE BEING TAKEN ON THE ROAD REGULARLY. I HAD THE RIGHT REAR RALLY WHEEL CENTER CAP RE-CHROMED AND IS INCLUDED BUT NOT PICTURED. INTERIOR THE INTERIOR IS COMPLETE SAVE THE CENTER CONSOLE. THE GAUGE FACES ARE EXCELLENT. THE ORIGINAL BASKET WEAVE SEATS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION BUT THE DOOR PANELS, THE CARPET AND THE CENTER CONSOLE WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE REMOVABLE REAR WINDOW COMES WITH THE CAR BUT I MISPLACED THE INTERIOR LATCHES. MECHANICAL THE FRAME AND THE BIRDCAGE ARE SOLID AS THIS CAR HAS SPENT ITS LIFE IN TEXAS BEFORE RESIDING THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS IN LAS VEGAS. SHOWS SOME SURFACE RUST THAT IS TYPICAL FOR A 45 YEAR OLD UN-RESTORED CORVETTE. A PREVIOUS OWNER DROPPED IN A 350 CUBIC INCH MOTOR BOLTED UP TO AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. I HAD AN ORIGINAL 1972 CORVETTE CARBURETOR FOR A 4-SPEED REBUILT PROFESSIONALLY AND INSTALLED: IT LOOKS GORGEOUS. I ALSO PICKED UP A REBUILT M-21 4-SPEED AND BELL HOUSING FOR $600 WHICH I WILL THROW IN FOR EXACTLY WHAT I PAID FOR IT ($600 MORE.) I WOULD IMAGINE THAT ALL THE BUSHINGS, BALL JOINTS, TIE ROD ENDS, SWAY BAR LINK BUSHINGS, BRAKE CALIPERS, STRUT ROD BUSHINGS, REAR WHEEL BEARINGS, PARKING BRAKE HARDWARE AND REAR SPRING WITH BUSHINGS SHOULD ALL BE SERVICED/ REPLACED FOR THE RESTORATION (WHICH I WILL HAVE DONE IF IT DOESN'T SELL.) AS A GUIDE, I GET THIS WORK DONE WITH PARTS AND LABOR FOR ABOUT $2500 BUT INSTANTLY HAVE TOO MANY PROJECTS AND LOOKING TO THIN THE HERD. EPILOGUE IF THE VETTE DOESN'T SELL FOR THE BUY IT NOW PRICE, I ALREADY HAVE A REBUILT MOTOR READY TO GO FOR THE CAR AND WILL BE RESTORING IT. I'VE ALREADY BEEN OFFERED $6K FOR THE CAR AS IT SITS AND TURNED IT DOWN. THE PRICE IS NOT NEGOTIABLE. THE CAR CAN BE SEEN AND WILL BE SHIPPED FROM VICTORVILLE, CA: ABOUT 80 MILES NORTHEAST OF LOS ANGELES, CA. SHIPPING RATES ARE QUITE REASONABLE AND WE CAN HELP YOU GET THE CAR SHIPPED TO YOUR HOME.
