Description:Owning a Corvette is like being part of no other vehicle lineage in the world. America\'s longest-running model, Chevy\'s halo car is now in its eighth generation, and with each passing year, more of its previous seven iterations become more collectible. The C3, exemplified by this 1972 Chevrolet Corvette LS5 454 Stingray we have for you, has been slowly gaining popularity in the hearts and minds of collectors and enthusiasts over the last several years. Fully repainted in this impossible-to-miss Mille Miglia-inspired red, this numbers-matching big block is one of just 3,913 made for the final year of the iconic LS5 V-8. Inside and beneath those versatile T-Tops, a black vinyl interior envelops you in a cockpit of gauges. The speedometer and tachometer sit front and center, while atop the center stack, we find fuel, water temperature, oil pressure, battery charge, and even an analog clock display all the pertinent information you might need or want. An original-looking AM/FM stereo handles soundtrack duties. However, you\'d be hard-pressed to try and drown out the sound of that massive numbers-matching 454 cubic-inch V-8 sitting under this \'Vette\'s signature front-hinged hood. Rebuilt and upgraded with a single four-barrel Holley carburetor. From the factory, the stock LS5 was the biggest block made with hydraulic lifters, and even with emissions regulations beginning to take hold, this V-8 still managed to produce an advertised and impressive SAE net (versus the 1971 gross) 270 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque. That power is then funneled through a numbers-matching four-speed manual transmission before being sent out to its standard-issue Posi rear end.
