1972 ac LT-1 convertible

[Kenneth B.]

So much for those that say our Corvette prices are going down the drain because the younger people don't want them. A 72 with a repaint that would be a second flight car with a repaint sold for 205,000.00 at BJ yesterday Cant wait to see what Ed's 72 with 2000 MI will do. Both LT-1's look the same.

Re: 1972 ac lt-1 convertable

I saw that car sell.
Didn't see it in person.
I was curious of the $205K selling price.

The only way I could see a 1972 LT-1 selling for anywhere near that price is if it was an original ZR-1.

Hi Joe,
This was a 1972 LT1 convertible with A/C.
Could a '72 ZR1 have A/C ?

No, several options were NOT available with the ZR-1 package.
A/C was not available, nor were Power Windows, Rear Defroster, Wheel Covers, or either Radio option.

The pics. on the BJ site show it has B.F. Goodrich T/A's, heater & radio. I can't understand the selling price.

I also saw it sell. A friend of mine has the same car except his is a coupe. The only explanation I can think of there were 2 people that wanted it? Don H.

Here is the final..

Re: 1972 ac LT-1 convertible

So it sold for $132k, not $205k?

Still rich for an LT-1 in "good overall condition" and no pedigree mentioned.

Maybe it's a French Connection car with the stuff in the rocker panels...
