About this car

This is a 1972 C3 Corvette Stingray in T-top form, one of the last of the chrome-bumper cars and powered by the 5.7-litre L48 small-block V8. It was imported from the United States in 2016, so it has been in the UK for several years, and it is finished in Elkhart Green Metallic over a tan vinyl interior.

The engine has been reworked well beyond factory specification. It has new aluminium heads, a high-energy Comp Cams camshaft with roller-tipped rockers, a Holley 670 carburettor on a dual-plane manifold, headers and a Flowmaster exhaust. A new aluminium radiator with an electric fan has just been fitted. The automatic gearbox has a 2200 rpm stall converter, and the car has power steering and power brakes.

The car shows 70,600 miles and has one keeper listed, with a full service history. The dealer reports a recent major service costing more than £10,000, and new tyres have also been fitted.
