Strange question on a 914 forum I know but you guy's seem to have your hands in more than just teeners.
Here's the deal. There is a guy at my wifes office that has a '72 vette he wants to get rid of. I haven't seen the car but from what I've been told it's very clean and in really good shape. I don't know if it has the mysterious "Matching Numbers", or anything else about it. I did a little research, and see them selling anywhere from 10k - 30k. He want's 6k for it. Any thoughts? |

72 is the last year for chrome bumpers front and rear, in 73 they went to the plastic nose, and by 74 added the ugly rear.
Big HP drop on most engines from 71 - 72, and like most other cars by continued to drop through the 70s, 72 had a few engine choices I think 3 different small blocks, A LT1 small block and then the big block. I'd say it's certainly worth a look. Plenty of "buying" books on corvette's that show you how to read the codes and what to look for. Rust is a very big factor in these, the rear frame rails are a issue, not so much in your area of the country, but if it was a east coast car at some point watch out. 6k is project money. If you could confirm that it's a matching number car, with straight body and frame, it's close to a no brainer. If you don't buy it give me a call (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Ferg |

Ya beat me to it!!! My uncle has a 73 which only has the chrome rear. He paid pretty big $$ for his, I would totally jump on it!!! If only it were a few months from now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
