1972 Chevrolet Corvette C3
Highlights
- Extensive mechanical work carried out since its acquisition in 2021
- Maintained by a mechanic specialising in classic cars
- Accompanied by a large file of invoices and an independent appraisal report
The Plus
It's hard to get more American than a C3 Corvette in Ontario Orange, with chrome side exhausts, BF Goodrich tyres with white lettering, a T-top roof and sporty black stripes. Produced for fourteen years, the C3 boasts a bold design inspired by Larry Shinoda's Mako Shark II concept car.
Early models, like this one from 1972, were particularly sought after for their superior power compared with later C3s. This 350 cu in (5.7 L) version is advertised as running and driving very well, and the photos testify to its excellent condition for its age. The seller has carried out extensive work on the car, entrusting its regular maintenance to a mechanic specialising in classic cars.
Accompanied by a comprehensive documentation package including an independent appraisal report, this Corvette represents a most interesting opportunity.
