Description
Up for sale is my 1972 corvette, last of the chrome bumper front and rear vettes. I brought this in over a year ago and started to restore it. It has got a 350 with a 4 speed Manual. Comes with US Title and Duties paid so it is ready for registering once it has a MOT, come May you Might not even need that
Bodywork
Don’t be fooled that this is in primer, the body was NOT all sanded back so the fibreglass is thin in places which is what I’ve seen in the past. This was stripped back with a blade which is the best way to take the paint off and then sanded. The body/ fibreglass is still solid and the lines are good. Panel wiped and has had a couple of coats of 2k primer. I would say there is about 2 days to tidy the odd bit to get ready for topcoat.
Chassis and birdcage
All looks and feels to be rock solid, surface rust only.
Interior
All in all in good condition including seats and dash, certainly driver quality. All trim panels are there and in good condition including the door cards certainly driver quality or better.
Front and rear bumpers are not bad at all, certainly driver quality.
Glass is all good
Engine/ mechanical
I have pictures of the engine with the heads off, looks like it had new valve set and it had no scoring on the bores.
I have not gone through any other bits so don’t know what bushes/ ball joints etc need replacing. But look ok
The vette now has a good used holley 600cfm carb fitted
New brake calipers now fitted
New U Joint fitted and Trans cover plate
Wiring and clocks/ gauges
All looks to be there and complete but I’ve not gone through any.

So all in all a solid vette with most of the hard work done but it will need to be gone through and checked (it is still a restoration project).
