I have owned this rare Corvette for many years and am considering selling it. Currently priced at $38,500 and being advertised elsewhere. If you travel to see the car, I’m located approximately 45 minutes North of Bush Intercontinental Airport (Spring, TX). Not interested in any trades.

Summary
In 1972, an estimated 405 Corvette LT-1 convertibles were manufactured. Of the 1972 Corvette LT-1 convertibles manufactured, an unknown but very small number had a “trim-color override” like this one does. The tank sticker, included with the sale, indicates this Corvette was ordered with a trim-color override so the new-for-1972 Targa Blue exterior paint color could be combined with Saddle interior. Chevrolet normally offered only blue or black interior colors with Targa Blue exterior paint. This is a very rare Corvette, and unlike in 1970 & 1971, you know this one is a legitimate LT-1 by the VIN number. Being a longtime Corvette owner and enthusiast, this one has always been garaged, well maintained, and never abused. Has approximately 82,2XX miles on the odometer that appear to be original but I cannot confirm.

Beautiful looking LT-1 in a great color combo. I have seen a 72 LS5 in that color combo here in NJ and it is sharp looking.

Thanks jr9170, these colors do look great together.

TTT - Price reduced based on updated market comparison of other LT-1 convertibles (there aren't many out there)

Sold a week ago and transaction completed today. Sad to see it go, but it was time and it went to a good home.
