    1972 Corvette Rare parts.

    I have a chance to purchase a 1972 Corvette. The owner is pulling the motor for another usage. The rest of the car is there but rough having been hit in the right rear and front left. Looks like it was spun! Damage is mostly fiberglass. Frame is good.
    I was wondering if the 72 has any one year only parts that might make this car worth purchasing? I know about the single year stuff on a 63 but really don't know much about the 72's. Car is a base model with an THM-400 and air conditioning. Not much else for options except maybe the luggage rack. Ran hard and put away wet! It does appear to have been in a shop and not outside.
    Seats are shot. Dash and everything else is there, none stock tire and wheels.
    Any opinions greatly appreciated.

    If he would give you the 72 it is not a good deal to restore it. Part it out for a few bucks.

      i picked up a rough 73 30 years ago and it took for ever to get rid of it. If i remember correctly i paid $1000 for it. It would not have been worth the agrivation even if i got it fr free.

        About the only remarkable thing about 1972 is that it was the last year for chrome front and rear. Although parts are readily available; from the way you described the car, I really don't think it would be worth the time, effort and money to restore. I think Mr. Morrow's suggestion is right on: even if you got the car for free, unless you were just going to part it out...pass. Although I would never presume to tell a man what he should do with his money; I think I would find a better project car to invest in.
