The third generation of the well-known Chevrolet Corvette, known as the C3 was produced from 1967 to 1982. It was the second Corvette to carry the “Stingray” honorific after the C2 Corvette. The design of the C3 was reminiscent of the Mako Shark II designed by Larry Shinoda. Compared to other car models available in 1972 the Chevrolet Corvette C3 stood out like a rose in a weed patch, albeit an aggressive looking rose. When placed next to the previous generation the C3 shares many design ques and features as the C2, including the instantly recognizable dual taillights. This is a 1972 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible with a snazzy 383 cu Stroker engine and with just 2,000 miles after the build, located in Florida. The current owner has had it for over ten years.
Originally reported to be painted in white, this 1972 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible was repainted in a fresh coat of white during the build. A set of Chevrolet period correct wheels with BF Goodrich radial T/As are in place. Chrome bumpers were available last on the 1972 models as per the vehicle. The current owner reports that the interior is the original blue that the car came with from the factory. The instrument binnacle behind the steering wheel features the speedometer and the tachometer, the rest of the gauges which include fuel, water temperature, oil pressure, battery voltage and the clock are situated in the center console. Power steering was standard in the Chevrolet Corvette C3 with the addition of a tilt and telescopic steering column, and a Chevrolet 3-spoke unit is in place. An aftermarket Kenwood single-DIN radio with CD and AUX-IN handles audio duties.
This 1972 Chevrolet Corvette came with the L48 350ci V8 before it was swapped for a Chevy 383ci Stroker engine that is able to produce approximately 460hp and 500 lb ft. Drive goes to the rear wheels via a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. The 383 Stroker crate engine is regarded as a hot-rod motor popular amongst enthusiasts and those who want more power. Stopping power is courtesy of the disc brakes up front with power brakes all around.
