after 6 months or looking i bought the first vette i looked at, 1972 lt-1, silver red int. (haven't picked it up yet) low miles, very solid, no hit body, but still need some love, (remove hooker side exhaust, remove tunnel ram and fix or replace hood, make it look more stock)

The LT1 had 2" exhaust manifolds with the exhaust header pipes expanding to 2-1/2" just past the manifolds.
LT1's are great engines....best of luck with your new ride.

They look that way but 71 was the last year for the retractor support for the hood and 72 was the first year for a manual support. The 72 has a different location on the left side of the hood for the support (its lower) then a 69-71.

Hi gg2,
A new, old, 72, for you!!!! Nice.
I think silver with red interior is a very good look.
Pictures are coming, right?
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan
