Test Drive 1972 Chevrolet Corvette SOLD $18,900 Maple Motors

[@36karpatoruski]

It’s not just the 73 bumper, it’s the ‘73 hood and lack of wiper door, and the ‘73 front fender vents. Three strikes.

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

I tried so hard and got so far but in the end it doesn’t really matter. “Chester Bennington”

[@PocketChangeInspector]

That's not a '73 nose but a '77-'79. It may why the front wheel sits back further than it should or it had significant front-end damage. At least Maple Motors acknowledges the car has flaws.

[@deathslinger_8767]

Got my drivers license yesterday and turning 18 in a few weeks. Can't wait to drive the 75' C3 of my parents. A real rarity here in germany. Nice video man.

[@garyscarlett5471]

Why does a 72 have a 73 front end ?

[@Daddy53751]

Those vettes have some options on aftermarket replacements. Had a 75 that the nose had just become totally cracked up, and I was presented with choices in the aftermarket.

[@davidgalinat4257]

I don't know why anyone would switch out the better looking chrome bumpers.

[@Daddy53751]

@@davidgalinat4257 I agree, But we've all seen some of the ridiculous things folks do.

[@EddyJean-claude]

So you'd have something to talk about.

[@danportenier8416]

In the past I knew a guy with a 55 Chevy with a 56 front end. It drove some people crazy! This corvette is just as cool.

[@richardward7062]

What would it cost to put an original front end back?

[@davidrice6989]

Looks like 73

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

It does

[@griffonclaw]

I remember seeing these all over the place and it was the late 80s and early 90s. The Corvette and the late 70s Trans Am were the antithesis of the malaise era. BEAUTIFUL exterior, comfortable and sporty interior. A little love and the relatively low buying price and you've got the muse that inspired Prince for a song.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

So very true!

[@1972Ray]

1972's a bit prior to the malaise era of the 80's, but you're right, they're beautiful.

[@pistolerro427]

Looks like a 73’

[@cameronhummel6623]

It’s also missing the wiper door and egg crate vents from 72, but whatever the title says!

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

Don’t for get the vin

[@tombankwel4822]

What a Nice car, shes a beauty and have her temper, thanks Nick stay cool great 😊😊😊

[@Lad236]

Looks like a 73

[@malikdigger4544]

Is that a blue 60 El Camino on left side in front of 72 Corvette u test drive Nick definitely would be interested 60 El Camino

[@topjimmy2929]

Not a 72 bud

[@kevinhamblin951]

Boy …..I’ll say this …… under priced cars !!!! Corvettes are under priced ….. man they need a trunk ! Hard to get the groceries in them ….secret very easy to work on 😊

[@nintendojoe2958]

Love it... but the cracks in the frame are a no no:(

[@kevinpolk1991]

Nick, you should sell tickets for like $100 to people to test drive any 5 cars of their choice. Walk around the lot, look at all the beauties on hand, relive some memories. The lot is like a museum. It would be a nice way to spend a couple hours.

[@patriotrising6214]

Premier price , for a restore candidate. Paint patch work tone differences. Never buy a vette unless you use x-ray vision to access the bird cage rought etc. my bucket list will be complete when I get a C3 68-77 CLEAN AN ECONOMICAL . Keep going for a ride Maple Motors thanks again 🇺🇸

[@shoomapadoo1141]

maybe 15000 maybe

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

I wouldn’t sell it for that tho

[@eddelp6807]

Hey, Nick, watching your vet video. What's going on in this world is worse than blocking a gate LO. L.

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

Right they just need to move up 3 more foot lol

[@jamesf4405]

Hang in there Nick, spring is right around the corner. I've owned several Corvettes and I really like this one. Nice running car for a fair price!

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

Thanks 👍

[@jonathansongco4302]

Classic.

[@EddyJean-claude]

A model year after i was born. Pity that i look terrible in red 😅 N y'all are getting dripped on like we are in NY.

[@Bishop472]

Still looks good with a different front 👍✌️

[@neal6473]

This is the 1st gen LT1 engine.

[@Vladpryde]

Between 200 and 255 HP from the factory. I would like to think this one is on the higher end. Sounds amazing!

[@davidburns9758]

Right

[@johnraytalamante3881]

I've owned 2 C3 vetts and they are a blast to drive, and they are good looking cars.👌😊

[@PopPop-pl8yn]

72 vettes had steel bumpers.

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

They do but this one was changed out

[@markruffner9143]

Seems to run out well. Nice body style. What did I miss about the front end? Pretty good-looking Vette for the money. I bet it sells quick.

[@markruffner9143]

thx@@trevorjefferson6652

[@shoomapadoo1141]

HEY it LOOKS like that front end has been changed out . . . .
