1972 Corvette Coupe Big Block --RESTORED/STREET PERFORMER/SHOWCAR-- Featured on the cover of “Vette” Magazine and in their Calendar for the same year. AMAZING looking, sounding, and driving. This is the second time we’ve been privileged enough to have this beauty in our position. The first time was back in 2011. We purchased the car from a man who bought it from the man who had most of the restoration done. The gentleman we got the car from the first time, only bought it as an investment. He made the mistake of bringing the car by my shop to show it off, which worked because subsequently, that led to us buying it from him. After we showed the car through the dealership and let it generate some brand recognition for us, we sold the car to its last owner with 24,500 miles on the restoration.
This unique Corvette has undergone several reinventions of itself over the past 25 years. Most recently (about 2 years ago) the car went through a full repaint to the same color specs as it was prior to paint. It looks, first-class! Of course, before all of this it was restored, that restoration was a 3-year job by Mike's Body Shop in Low Moor Iowa, where they spent over $15,000 (that was back in ‘03-’05). In 2008 it was started again and finished with him spending another $12k +. At that time it had the Chevy 454 Engine, Automatic transmission, Turbo 400 driveline, Adjustable suspension. Power steering, Power disc brakes, Air conditioning (not currently installed/not included). Everything new – too much to list here (some parts were rebuilt).
