A classic C3 silhouette, a four-speed manual, and a well-documented mechanical history give this 1972 Corvette a compelling blend of character and driver involvement. 30-year ownership: this Corvette has been continuously owned by the same enthusiast since 1996.
The VIN identifies the car as originally equipped with Chevrolet’s 350-cu.-in. base V8. In 2010, the engine was rebuilt with a high-performance camshaft, matched valve springs, new intake and exhaust valves, and related machine work. The records also document a transmission rebuild and front suspension rebuild.
Its history reflects thoughtful attention over the years. A power-brake system was installed in 2010, followed by MagnaFlow mufflers and downturn exhaust tips in 2011. That same summer, the interior received carpet, insulation, and door-trim work, while the seats were recovered in leather.
Recent service includes attention to engine oil leaks, with fuel-pump, valve-cover, and oil-pan gaskets replaced in 2026. The shifter was rebuilt with new bushings, and the cooling system received a 160-degree thermostat, radiator cap, and fan temperature sender. Four Cooper Cobra Radial GT white-letter tires and a Duralast Gold battery were also installed in October 2026.
Currently driven, this Corvette offers an opportunity to enjoy its classic C3 character while planning the next chapter. Some fiberglass work remains, making it an honest driver-project for an enthusiast who would like to refine the car over time.
A distinctive classic Corvette with an engaging manual gearbox, period character, and meaningful records of mechanical and interior work.
