1.) It is does have air conditioning, but I have the compressor removed to make it easier to get to the plugs.. it worked and I still have everything in a container.
2.) I will get some to you(there is someone else asking for them as well)
3.) The Frame and birdcage are fine as far as I know.. I have had the car for 20 years and it has rarely seen any rain
4.) I do not believe it is the original colors. I believe the original color of the interior was tan(saddle), and I'm not sure what the original exterior color was. I bought the car from the previous owners who restored the car.
5.) The engine was rebuilt probably 2 years ago, and maybe has 3000 miles on it (and that is probably a high estimate) I drive the car about every 6 wks for about 10 miles (which is one reason I'm getting rid of it.. My family takes up my time). I did not have it dyno'ed.. wish I had, but I blew past my budget at the time.
6.) The Paint is in ok condition. It does have some trash in it where it was not done as well as it should have been. There is some small bubbling on the back. It looks good at 10ft, but up close you can see blemishes.


Oh, and the brakes were replaced years ago with o-ring sleeved calipers.

Is the car still for sale. Do you have pictures of the interior
thanks

1972warship

Yes, it is still available. I have a couple of people who are interested.

Here are the pictures that have been requested. It's dark in my garage so they are not the best. Have to wait for a sunny day to get better ones.

Nice Corvette, if you do not sell soon, bring it to the Jackson Corvette show and put a for sale sign on it. I think the Jackson show is in July?

Best of luck

Looks like a good solid base for what could be a special car.. Any leaks?

Do the headlights and wiper door work properly? What is the paint code on the trim tag?

Thanks,

Moose

'72 vert in running driving condition for $15K is a great deal. No excuse for someone not jumping on this one.

1972warship

The headlights do work. The wiper door has worked since I had it except just recently it stopped. It is still free and I can move it up and down by hand. I need to look at it to see what needs to be fixed... hopefully it is a vacuum line off.

There is a very minor oil leak at the back of the engine. It has been that way since it was built. It is not the rear main seal so I'm not sure where it is coming from... the guy at the speed shop thinks he knows where it is coming from, and told me to bring it back.. but I never have since it is such a small leak.
