There are some technical type drawings in the "Corvette by the Numbers" books. Not sure about the body, but at least some parts.

You can try the Corvette Museum. Just curious, why do you want drawings?

The factory Assembly Instruction Manual (AIM) has 300+ pages of drawings and I believe some of the vendors have electronic versions; they are model year specific Are you just looking for a reference for working on your car? The AIM is a "must have".

Hi Gary!
Do you mean the national corvette museum? I can´t find anything there for 1972. Maybe it sounds crasy for you but I am searching for a towling hitch for the C3.

Hi Mike,
Since a hitch wasn't a factory option I don't believe there would be any GM drawings.
I'd guess they were an aftermarket item. Have you looked through any of the larger vendor catalogues to see if they offer one?
I think after that I'd go to the hitch manufacturers for help.
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan

There are some threads in this Forum on trailer hitches for C3's (search using "trailer hitch" as the subject). Here's one I found.

I believe that there was a dealer option trailer hitch for a Corvette in the '70s. It was not a factory option. That being the case, just take the car to a reputable hitch installer and have one made to fit. {I assume this is for a cart to haul the beer and chips in...}
