1972 Corvette LT1
Documented, Matching-Numbers Corvette 350ci LT1 V8 4-speed 2 tops ///
This 1972 Corvette LT1 represents a pivotal moment in Corvette history, when Chevrolet still offered sharp, high-revving small-block performance before tightening regulations reshaped the landscape. The LT1 earned its reputation through balance, responsiveness, and driver feedback, favoring precision over sheer displacement. This example is a well-documented, numbers-matching LT1 car, supported by its original tank sticker and ownership history dating back to the 1980s. Finished in Sunflower Yellow with the correct black hood stripe, it presents with a purposeful, period-correct look, sitting on chrome rally wheels with raised white-letter Goodyear tires, complemented by a black vinyl top and body-matched hardtop. Power comes from a matching-numbers 350ci LT1 V8, professionally rebuilt in 2023 and showing only break-in miles since, dyno tested at 317 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque at the crank. It is backed by a matching-numbers Muncie M21 4-speed and aggressive 4.11 Positraction rear gears, with power steering and power four-wheel disc brakes adding confidence and control. Inside, the Saddle Deluxe interior remains a true time capsule, featuring leather seating surfaces, electric windows, a tilt-telescopic column with 3-spoke steering wheel, and AM/FM radio, preserved exactly as a well-optioned LT1 Corvette would have left the showroom. Taken as a whole, this LT1 occupies a rare sweet spot, delivering real performance pedigree and proven collectibility without the pricing having climbed beyond reach.
