Description of 1972 Chevrolet Corvette LT-1 |
1972 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe LT1 The year was 1971 and the EPA was running amuck slapping catalytic converters on cars and forcing automakers to drop horsepower ratings to increase mpg and decrease emissions. This strangulation saw the base-level Corvette drop to 250 horsepower and its highest output dropped from 460 ponies to 425, and the squeeze was on. The 1972 switch to SAE net horsepower (at the rear wheels) officially locked the Corvette into one of its darkest eras. Much like the extinction of the dinosaurs, the muscle car was slowly and methodically eliminated. We can only assume that the Corvette survived this mass extinction based on its name alone. For consignment, a 1972, numbers matching, Corvette: This C3 version of the Corvette has been resprayed over the original Elkhart Green to a Hunter Green. A few carburetor upgrades, and overall good appearance show on this model. Exterior Interior Drivetrain Undercarriage A numbers matching original car with a respray, all in very nice condition. Though Chevrolet may have been struggling with the power/emissions battle, this C3 version was a beautiful design with just the right mixture of chrome, and badging, and now bathed in beautiful Hunter Green for a great design and look. A nicely presenting example of Corvette history.
