Whoever got this car should be pretty proud.. she is absolutely gorgeous.

[@mikestlouis5304]

I just picked up a 69 stingray convertible and matching hardtop 427 4 speed absolutely mint. This neighbor lady had it 42 years and we were talking about it one day she asked about my 2012 Dodge duelly and she said she just retired and is buying a camper and would love my truck. Jokingly I said I’ll trade you for the vette. Needless to say she came over two days later and said let’s make this happen if your serious.... I couldn’t believe it we both were happy with the deal so I’ll be ready to drop the top in the spring. Btw beautiful 72 Nick!

[@dukehungry3357]

I like to see what you got for that duelly

Now that's a nice vette the glare on the paint is phenomenal I would find original Rally SS rims on it.. But that's me..clean worth it's asking price Nick..rides nice from here...strickly summer or Route 66 is perfect for this car see America in a classic parts for engine and trans are every where..

I daily drive my 72 coupe it’s got a modern 350 fuel injected motor with 350HP and a manual 5 spd. All high perf suspension, leather, air, and side pipes. It’s loud as hell and it scares small children and dogs.

[@xThemisJr]

My grandma had a very nice and clean Cherry red Stingray back in the day when i was a little kid. I remember seeing it parked a lot, she barely drove it. Let me get in it and play around, cause i liked it so much. Love these old Corvettes.

I used to have a 1970 convertible 4 speed Stingray with a 350 motor 350 horse that was painted anniversary silver and I had the SS rally rims on it mine looked exactly like this 1972 Stingray on the inside and out I don't know if they changed anything in them years I've really love that car I sold it years ago for $6,000 but I sure do wish I had it today

For the wipers try turning the large knob located under the steering column. Its function is to stop the wipers so the blades can be changed. I've had my '72 since '77.

Thanks for your work Nick. I appreciate these trips down memory lane , and the fact Maples Motors isn’t afraid to show the imperfections and flaws these older cars get with age.

[@markanthony3275]

Looks like the car has been recently painted. I wonder how the cracks around the headlight door openings, and the hood hinge pockets were dealt with because these are perennial problem areas for these cars. I really like how QUIET the interior of the car is...that means the car wasn't pounded to death by the previous owners.

[@craigscott5661]

Mark Anthony yea I’ve got cracks by one of my headlight doors I guess it’s pretty common. But I daily drive it so it’s gona happen.

[@markanthony3275]

@@craigscott5661 Good for you...on the problem scale of one to ten...it's about a two. The cracking problems are fixable...if you decide to fix the problem, go to a body shop that specializes in vettes...because a regular bodyshop might think that it's ok to grind out the cracks and put body filler over them. Body filler and Fiberglass repair material share the same polyester resin...but that's all. Bodyfiller is made of talc...fiberglass is glass fibres that are more crack resistant. Regular body filler on vettes is what shady used car lots pay for because the cracks won't show up until the headlights slam down a couple of dozen times.

[@craigscott5661]

Mark Anthony yea mine were actually fixed once but like you said once the headlights slam down a few times they come back.

We don't have enough time before they sell, that being said they sell faster this way. We would be putting more $ into the cars / have to hire more employees raising the price of all our cars. The new owners can tinker/fix anything the cars need. Actually most people who buy these love that the cars need attention. Almost everyone who buys from us, use that as their car hobby.
