Description
My beautiful 1972 Chevrolet Corvette C3, 4 speed manual – the last of the chrome bumpers and in my opinion the best looking C3, especially in the Mille Miglia red with black interior.
I have owned this for 5 years and sadly time to go due to lack of use and making space for another purchase.
Features:
- This Corvette was imported into the UK in 1981.
- Matching numbers car
- It is believed to be stroked to a 6. 5-litre capacity (396 CU) at some stage in its life, definitely feels quicker than a regular 350 and the log book states 6. 5L.
- Original Rally wheels fitted with new BF Goodrich Radial T/ A tyres
- Upgraded cooling system
- Side exit exhausts (you have got to hear this thing, it sounds incredible)
- Targa top with its storage bag
- Disc brakes all round
- Power steering
- Original radio unit
- UK registered
I have carried out the following works to get it up to a very good driver standard
- Complete overall of the braking system, new calipers, pads, discs, master cylinder
- Full service
- Electric motor conversion to pop-up headlights
- new BF Goodrich Radial T/ A tyres all round
- I have replaced/ changed the following:
o Driver and passenger chrome door mirror
o Driver and passenger chrome door handles
o Rear view mirror
o Interior mats
o Interior wiper switch
o Front emblem
o Rear emblem
o Steering wheel
o Steering wheel emblem
o Emblem for fuel filler door
o Fuel filler cap
o Lighter
o Ashtray
o Exterior rear numberplate chrome surround
o Interior armrest
o New chrome wheel trim rings
Condition is good, this is a good driver car, everything works as it should and it drives well. It's not a fully restored 60k car, it's a 20k classic which will have some age related marks and wear. But I can tell you after looking at a few cars it's a really nice car and starts and runs cold or hot without issue. Really fun drive and a cool car.
I have owned various Corvettes over the years, C1, C2, C3, C6... and they are reliable and a great alternative to the more expensive a lot of more expensive stuff out there. This ticks all of the boxes, sexy curved, performance, handling and a great sound from both the engine and exhaust.
Any questions let me know.
If you're based overseas and interested let me know, I can help with shipping/ delivery abroad. I bought it because I love classic cars, I love V8's and I love American cars.
