Gertrude, well done. You’re a lady after my heart.

Amazing find - and you can clearly see the difference a low mileage original vs. an over restored car. Love it!

Thanks for the video, it brought back memories of my '71 C3 (bought it new). Looks like this car may have had the optional factory alarm system, as evidenced by the key slot below the back deck lid. Times have changed.

Wow, I had the exact same year and color, one owner.... but mine was a convertible with matching blue hard top and white soft top . Brier blue, blue leather interior, blue center consul cushion. Nice to see as mine was totally original when I bought it. I first saw mine when I was 16 and vowed to buy a Corvette, low and behold 8 years later I bought that same car. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for sharing this exceptional sample. While in college (73-77) I worked with a guy at a franchise pizza place that had one of these. We were driving AMC Gremlins delivering pizzas. Small 12” pizzas were US $3 and large 16” ones were $4. And college students didn’t tip either.

I used to watch Legendary Motor Cars on TV when they had their show. Always knowledgeable and with the best cars

It's a gem! Truly unique concourse car, thanks for this video presentation!

A very rare and beautiful car. When a unrestored Corvette earns these awards it's the real deal. I own a 1966 L/72 quadruple Black roadster that has won all the same awards. It's the only Black C2 Corvette to have achieved it. It's also a joy to drive.

This a clone of my first car back in 1977! Same everything but the black leather interior mine had I got mine with 27k miles. I’m speechless, this car is a time tunnel classic! Thank-You for sharing such a rare and special find!

I dearly miss my 72 Ontario Orange a C4, 6&7 and now my my C5 but I'd trade them all to get my 72 back.

Good to see you again Peter, I used to watch you all the time on Dream Car Garage twenty years ago.

Another great video! That car is absolutely beautiful, a once in a lifetime buy.

[The_R-n-I_Guy]

I'd love to find a Vega or similar in this condition. Now that would be amazing

[frankpavan]

Just beautiful !! Was the sale price in 1972 for this corvette $5, 600 ?
Thanks for the video !

I bought a 72 almost exactly like this in 1976.Mine had the dark saddle leather interior

Clean, flowing, sexy car is a work of art, unlike the current vett's that look like a cluttered, overdone mess looking more like the Apollo lunar module than a Corvette.

Just like my 55 Desoto with only 17, 000 miles .. all documented including every mile and every receipt since order.. my fathers 74 Corolla has 21, 000kms still original 49 year old cross ply tyres white walls

I had a blue 72 coupe back in the day.
