1972 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible – The Last Chrome Bumper Icon
Few Corvettes capture the essence of American muscle like this stunning 1972 convertible – the final year for the coveted chrome bumper design. Recently awakened from climate-controlled storage where it rested since its 2013 restoration, this time-capsule example has just received a comprehensive mechanical refresh including a new carburetor, brake system, fuel system service, and fresh fluids. Essentially a six-year-old restoration with barely any use, it presents in showroom condition.
Finished in its factory-correct red paint with matching black interior and convertible top, this C3 represents one of only 2,478 Corvettes produced in this striking color combination for 1972. Its rarity is further enhanced by being one of just 6,508 convertibles built that final chrome bumper year.
The numbers-matching Chevy V8 shines underhood with polished valve covers and air cleaner, exhaling through a throaty dual exhaust system. A precise 4-speed manual transmission puts you in complete control, while the factory tachometer keeps you informed. The well-appointed interior features:
Power windows
Tilt/telescopic steering wheel (a C3 essential)
AM/FM/CD stereo
Black vinyl bucket seats
Modern seat belts
Additional thoughtful upgrades include a battery cutoff switch for storage preservation and included owner’s manual. Eligible for extended warranty coverage, this chrome-bumper beauty represents a rare opportunity to own one of the most desirable Corvette generations in spectacular preserved condition.
