Default 72 lt-1

I like looking at Corvettes for sale, not in the market right now, but...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/171453591202...:B:WNA:US:1653

Might be a good deal for somebody or worth checking out???

For the run of the mill, nice but not super, I wonder if these are going prices for LT-1's. And I wonder how these flange up with Hagerty's appraisals which always look high to me.

Anyway, for your amusement!

The listing ends soon. I wish they had pictures of the frame.

The pictures aren't very good. Almost went out of their way to make it unatractive. Although it could be a repaint, I'm assuming that it's one of the yellows available in 1972 which really pop.

Certainly not a trailer queen but not a bad buy at all, assuming of course that the frame isn't rotted through.

Repaint - not even yellow - originally 946 Elkhart Green if the trim plate is correct.

Looks like it was dark when they took the pics, I agree not very good. They also could have been a bit more careful with the numbers pad, looks like they took a heavy scraper to it. Not a bad price if the frame as mentioned before is good, but there is also most likely a bunch of high dollar pieces changed out/missing under the hood.

Did anyone see the gap between the passenger door and the fender? It looks pretty big to me, as the edge of the fender, actually sticks out, beyond the edge of the door. And is the rear license plate area, supposed to be painted?

Hi,
I agree that the price shown is probably realistic, maybe even a bit too much, for what the car presently appears to be.
Regards,
Alan

There is a beautiful 72 LT-1 vert in the for sale section for 34k.
