This 1972 Chevrolet Corvette convertible is a stunning example of classic American muscle, finished in Mille Miglia Red (973) over a black vinyl interior. Powered by a rebuilt 350ci V8 engine rated at 200 horsepower, this C3 Corvette combines vintage style with upgraded performance components for an exhilarating driving experience.
The drivetrain features a three-speed automatic transmission paired with a Positraction limited-slip rear differential, delivering smooth and confident power to the rear wheels. Notable engine enhancements include a performance camshaft, aluminum intake manifold, long-tube headers, a four-barrel carburetor, and MSD ignition. The oil was recently changed in preparation for sale.
Exterior highlights include a retractable black convertible top and a removable hardtop, both in excellent condition with only minor paint touch-ups noted on the right front fender and hardtop. The iconic Corvette styling is showcased through pop-up headlights, twin front grilles, fender vents, quadruple taillights, and dual rectangular exhaust outlets.
Riding on 15″ Rally wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires (225/70 front, 255/60 rear), the car is equipped with power-assisted ventilated disc brakes on all four corners and power steering, ensuring confident handling and stopping power.
Inside, the cabin features classic black vinyl bucket seats complemented by a three-spoke steering wheel that frames a 160-mph speedometer and tachometer. The center stack houses auxiliary gauges for fuel level, water temperature, oil pressure, along with a clock and an ammeter. Additional amenities include a cabin heater and an AM/FM stereo for entertainment.
The five-digit odometer reads 45,000 miles, with approximately 125 miles driven under the current ownership. Total mileage is unknown. The engine block stamping with suffix CKX confirms this is the factory 350ci V8 with 200 horsepower and automatic transmission setup.
This Corvette was acquired by the selling dealer in 2025 and is offered with a Washington title carrying an Antique brand, making it a great choice for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
With its classic looks, solid performance enhancements, and well-maintained condition, this 1972 Chevrolet Corvette convertible is a true collectible that’s ready to enjoy on the open road.
