Boastfully beautiful, nicely appointed, tight and just right! In classic Sting Ray style, the last of the Big Boys with chrome F/R bumpers. Resting on a wonderful "Body Off" restoration of excellent quality, this Ontario Orange Corvette T-Top Coupe not only offers awesome looks but plenty to talk about...

Equipped w/impressive and available factory options including ("W" LS-5) 270HP 454 Big Block, (M21) Muncie 4 Speed Close Ratio Manual Transmission, (987) Ontario Orange, (404) Black "Leather" Interior, (A31) Power Windows, (C60) Air Conditioning, (N37) Tilt Telescopic Steering Column, (N40) Power Steering and (J50) Power Brakes...

Digging a little deeper and comparing only the obvious, production facts (thanks to VetteFacts) reveals more about this uniquely rare specimen: 27,004 Total "72" Corvette (Cnv/Cpe) production and 20,496 of those were Base Coupes. All units combined, only: 3,913 LS-5 454, 1,638 4-Speed Manual Trans and 4,891 Ontario Orange. Of course we could go into percentages, Convertible vs Coupe but we think you get the idea, in its own right and presence, this Corvette is very special...

Resting on a very thorough and complete professional "Body Off" restoration of clearly evident quality, backed up with complete photo documentation, posted below. The body is whistle straight and the original deep metallic Ontario Orange "professional" re-finish is inviting and simply irresistible. While the body was off, the entire chassis and components received the same level of attention and professional detail. The hits keep coming...

Since the original restoration and less than 1,000 miles ago, the LS5 454 engine has received a professional once over to like factory specs including Clean and Magnaflux of all castings, .030 over K&B pistons, Moly piston rings, balanced/polished Std/Std Steel Crankshaft, Clevite Bearings, re-machined Rods, new rod bolts, High Volume HV77 Oil Pump, Double Roller timing gears, Melling Camshaft/Lifters (LS-5 Grind), Fel Pro Gaskets/Seals, assemble short block, surface cylinder heads, cut valve seats on Serdi100 Machine (3 angle), new bronze liners, new SBI stainless 2.07 Intake/1.72 Exhaust valves, 130lb valve springs, new rocker studs and much more...

In closing, this wonderfully appointed Corvette offers absolutely no excuses beauty, a superb muscle car presence and no questions asked collectability. Taking you back to the 70's in style... Revisit Yesterday Today, Get In, Shut Up and Hold On... Don't Miss it!

Free and Clear Private Party Titled in Washington State. An absolutely wonderful restoration & preservation of detailed quality. Vehicle Identification 1Z37W2S518384, Block Suffix Stamp T0320CSR 12S518384 (see photos), Trans date P2K05 (non seq), Paint Code 987, Interior Trim 404. The exact age of the restoration is unknown but estimated at 8-10 years young with very few miles. In 2008, shortly after/during the purchase by the current owner from a known Texas Classic Corvette dealer, an engine lifter noise was noted and with an abundance of caution, the entire engine assembly (as noted above & subsequently documented) received a thorough professional rebuild (less than 1k miles)There is no build sheet available, therefore we cannot verify that all components/options are 100% original but what we do know (based on Vin & data tags) is that the power train configuration, interior and colors are correct. Regardless, whether you are a purist or enthusiast, we are certain, you will appreciate this very honest specimen for its presentation and presence. Exceptional! Petted and Protected with Pride... Study the 84+ detailed photos/video and buy with confidence....
