That sounds like the first red flag. Not saying its reason to walk away but call that strike one
If you can find a car with a lot of documentation, build sheet, window sticker, numbers matching, a clean frame, no dimples in the nose and “everything” works as it should and I mean everything you’ve really found something. Very few cars that you find will have all these.

This one is mine, and it does not have A/C, so it doesn't tick off your must have needed items. I wanted you to see what "Real World" money it will take to buy a nice 1972 convertible. This one came with just two options; AM/FM radio; and the matching hard top. That's it. No power nothing. A dream to drive, still drives like new with 30,600 miles on it. I checked on mine as I do from time to time to see what Haggerty Valuation Tool and Corvette DNA value the car at for insurance purposes. Both of them has this one right at $30,000. Unlike most 72's available today, this one has the original Protecto-Plate; Original Tank Sticker showing the built with data; and it has the original paperwork that came with a new car back in 1972. Its not perfect by any means, but it is a very nice, low mileage, convertible. If this one wasn't so original I would add the Tilt/Tele; Power Steering; Power Brakes; and Vintage A/C to it and drive the dickens out of it; but its too stock and original with the low miles to want to alter it. I have a 74 restomod I am getting all that out of my system building. Good luck with your search, the right car for you is out there somewhere.

If you're lucky enough to pry that beautiful '72 Convertible out of David's hands, grab it! I wouldn't hesitate to buy anything from him, he's a picky owner that likes everything perfect.
