NUMBERS MATCHING! Very Correct! Factory Hardtop Convertible! Classic White with Saddle Leather Interior! 1 of 174 Convertibles to Canada! 1 of 12 Canadian LT1 Convertibles! 350ci LT1 V8 & 4-Speed Manual Transmission! MotoeXotica Classic Cars is ecstatic to offer yet another absolutely incredible, numbers matching 1972 LT1 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible with factory hardtop. This unbelievable and iconic sports car was produced here in St. Louis, Missouri then shipped to Canada where it was only 1 of 12 LT1 convertibles in the country! The engine is stamped with the VIN from the factory, which is hard to find! This Corvette is an excellent example of the quality of sports cars in the late muscle car era and it would make an awesome addition to any Corvette lovers garage (or any car collectors collection, in general!). The body of this Corvette is super straight. The correct Classic White (Code 972) paint is in great original condition, showing only very minor imperfections. The LT1 decals that surround the center hood scoops accentuate the hood and look great. The factory black vinyl hardtop is in excellent condition, showing very minor imperfections and seals well. The soft top is in excellent condition. Inside, the interior is correct and appears to be all original. The Saddle leather (Trim Code 421) seats look great that show some wear, due to age, to both seats but overall still show well. Both door panels match the seats and look great. The tan carpet is protected by the original Corvette floor mats so the carpet is also in great condition. The dashboard is in beautiful condition, showing no signs of cracking or fade. It houses all of the original gauges, as well as a clock and radio. This Corvette is about as original as it gets. Under the hood is where things get exciting. The original and correct LT1 350ci V8 (casting #3970010) starts right up and sounds good. The engine stamp shows a code with the last six of the VIN 12S506878 and V1102CKY, showing the engine was built at the Flint, Michigan plant, on the 2nd day of November, with code CKY for LT1 Option, 350ci/255HP, 9.0:1 compression, 4 barrel carburetor and a 4-speed manual transmission with Exhaust Emission Control. The engine bay is clean and tidy, just as it was back in 1972. Mated to the engine is a 4-speed manual transmission. The Corvette is also equipped with power brakes and tilt/telescope power steering. The car sits upon a set of 15 steel wheels with chrome Chevrolet Motor Division hubcaps. The wheels are wrapped in P235/60R15 BF Goodrich white letter tires in the front and P255/60R15 BF Goodrich white letter tires in the rear that look great! Included in the purchase of this Corvette is a binder filled with the 1972 Chevrolet Corvette Assembly Manual, some receipts and a report from GM of Canada verifying information on the car, as well as production numbers for Canada. Bid with confidence, you will not be disappointed in this absolutely incredible, original and numbers matching 1972 Chevrolet Corvette Factory Hardtop Convertible. If you choose to bring this car back into Canada, it is our understanding there will be no duties on taxes as it was an original Canada car and rarely seen. The VIN is 1Z67L2S506878 and the mileage currently shows 80,874. It is being sold on a clean and clear title. GET OUT AND DRIVE!!!
