1972 Chevrolet Corvette LT-1, Amazing Survivor, 3 Top Flight Awards

When it debuted for 1970, the Corvettes new LT-1 engine option (a high-output 350) drew rave reviews from car critics for its powerful, free-revving nature and great soundtrack. Fortified with a solid-lifter camshaft, this engine really came alive at higher rpm. The LT-1 option was offered through 1972, and at nearly $500 was considerably more expensive than the LS-5 454 option (at around $300). As such, these are relatively rare cars. Here, we have an incredible and highly awarded survivor example of a correct, numbers-matching 1972 Corvette LT-1 coupe. In addition to being the last year of the front and rear chrome bumpers, 1972 was also the last year for the removeable rear window, grate-style side vents, and an engine with solid lifters. This amazing Corvette still sports its factory-applied hue of Millie Miglia Red which presents very well for an original finish. The chrome and stainless-steel trim is likewise impressive and the underside is clean and rock solid. The 'vette's serious curb appeal is boosted even further by the rally wheels wearing O.E. -style Firestone Wide Ovals. In addition to the desirable LT-1 V8, this Corvette also features the optional custom leather interior and AM/FM radio. That original interior is immaculate and testament to the great car this 'vette has received from day one. With its chrome air cleaner and finned aluminum valve covers, the LT-1 V8 has the eye candy to go along with its strong performance. The powertrain is numbers-matching, including the 4-speed gearbox and 3.70-geared rear end. Out on the open road, this Corvette LT-1 runs and drives great. It pulls hard through the gears and handles and stops just as you'd expect of a very well-maintained example. And it dsnt get much better than cruising on a winding country road with the T tops off on a sunny day and the V8 singing. This stunning and rare Corvette comes with two binders full of documentation, including dealer invoice, tank sticker and Protect-O-Plate. It also comes with the honor of being a multiple award winner: Three Top Flights and a Bloomington Gold.
