Thanks Jerry!
Here's my 1971 454 War Bonnet, all original, Deluxe Saddle interior, Four Speed, 18,300 mile, owned since '05. Two years, and many plane rides, searching for the right car, as soon as the garage door went up, I knew it was the one!

1972 LS5 454... PS, PB, PW, AC, tilt/tele, 4-speed. Odometer says 18,000 miles but I'm sure it has been turned over. She was originally war bonnet yellow, saddle interior. Some of the engine is now aftermarket... Hedman headers, Edelbrock carb, MSD ignition, Richmond transmission, alternator. The original transmission did come with the car though. Starting a mild restomod of the car (my first car project ever! ) with much help from this forum. Documenting the process in a blog and comments welcome. http://1972corvetterestomod.blogspot.com/.

Well I posted in the 70 LS5 thread but at this point you should just make it a 454 thread and blow it open to 74. But then it might as well be a big block thread and go 68-74, but I'm not the OP so ????

OK....Its not original...its not even an LS5 car, and its not Brands Hatch green anymore.. Its a "tribute car" LOL...
Its actually a numbers matching L46....Every original part is in my attic...l46 on the stand... I built what I wanted...... Purists hate me.
