This 1972 Chevrolet Corvette convertible was refurbished and modified between 2007 and 2009 with work that included refinishing the body in blue, mounting the body on a Street Shop chassis, and installing a 7.0-liter LS7 V8 crate engine along with a four-speed automatic transmission. A removable hardtop is finished to match the body and accompanied by a white soft top, a luggage rack, 15″ Rally wheels, a Classic Auto Air climate control system, and a CD/cassette stereo, while the custom chassis utilizes C4 Corvette suspension components, adjustable Koni coilovers, a power steering rack, power-assisted disc brakes, and a Dana 44 differential assembly. This C3 convertible was acquired by the seller in 2024 and is now offered with refurbishment records and a Florida title.
The body was refinished in blue under prior ownership and features a color-matched hardtop, a white soft top, a chrome luggage rack, re-plated chrome bumpers, and rectangular chrome exhaust outlets.
The car rides on a Street Shop chassis that utilizes C4 Corvette suspension components and adjustable Koni coilovers at all four corners. Painted 15″ Rally wheels are accented by chrome trim rings and center caps and wrapped in 215/70 Kumho Solus KR21 tires. Braking is handled by four-wheel discs, and a Mustang-sourced power steering rack is installed. The selling dealer serviced the brake fluid in preparation for the sale.
The bucket seats are upholstered in blue vinyl with a coordinated dash pad, door panels, and carpets. A Classic Auto Air climate control system was installed in 2007, and the car is also equipped with power windows and a Sanyo CD/cassette stereo.
The tilting steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer, while an analog clock and a suite of auxiliary gauges are mounted in the center stack. The five-digit odometer shows under 900 miles, approximately 50 of which were added during current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The 7.0-liter LS7 V8 crate engine was installed in 2007 along with an aluminum Griffin radiator and dual electric fans. A stainless steel fuel tank was also installed with an internal electric pump and braided fuel lines.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed 700R4 automatic transmission and a Dana 44 differential assembly linked to aftermarket axle shafts. Coated exhaust headers feed into a fabricated dual exhaust system.
