1972 Chevrolet Corvette LT1 CONVERTIBLE LT1 V8 VERY RARE
VERY RARE LT1 CONVERTIBLE, LT1 V8, 4-SPD
Throughout Corvette history, there have been many collectible and rare Corvettes built. We can all appreciate the design of the '63 Split window or the stylings of a gorgeous '57. But, for many, including the infamous Zora Arkus Duntov, there is none better then the often forgotten about 1970-1972 LT-1 Corvette. This is the Vette that did away with the typical thinking of bigger is better and offered 454 big block acceleration and power without compromising balance and handling performance. With a high revving small block 350ci engine and a 4-Speed manual transmission to run through the gears, an LT-1 Corvette offered neck-snapping acceleration and the ability to take corners the likes of any European sports car.
To achieve it's legendary performance, the 1970-1972 LT-1 used some of the best internal engine parts GM ever made. A solid lifter motor featuring a forged steel crankshaft, 4-bolt main block, impact extruded pistons, high-lift camshaft, low restriction exhaust, aluminum intake manifold, 4-barrel 800 cfm Holley carburetor, and finned aluminum valve covers. Mated with the required Muncie 4-Speed, these mechanical gems produced sounds and a driving experience never to be experienced again in a production car. The 1970-1972 LT-1 marked the end of an era. It was the last solid lifter V8 produced by GM.
Aside from its incredible performance characteristics, a “real deal” documented 1970-1972 LT-1 Corvette is a “Blue Chip” investment grade Corvette due to its rarity. high. Out of the 20,000+ corvettes that were built in 1972, only 1741 of them were ordered with the LT1 engine. This is a rare find, is surely among very few most original LT-1s left in existence.
