A couple of highlights:
- 1972 is the last year of dual chrome bumpers (helps with collectors)
- Numbers matching original engine (350) (helps with collectors)
- Both a matching paint hardtop and a new black convertible top (Hardtop available separately for an additional $500)
- Nice showing red paint (original color blue)
- New carpet, door panels and stereo (retro look with modern sound)
- Manual brakes, manual steering
- Lights come up and down as they should
- Several thousand spend in mechanical work over the last two years to get it running as it should
- Good tread on the tires
- Very nice after market stereo; designed to look like the original
- Frame in good shape, normal surface rust that could use wire brushing
- Appraised value of $30k (I have the appraisal)
- I currently have $27,700 in the car (I have all receipts)

A couple of flaws that are worth noting. The soft top doesn't align with the windows, about a 1/8" gap in spots. It leaks a little oil. Nothing material, normal for a 1970s Corvette. Horn does not work. Retractable seat belts don't lock, have the originals to replace them or they simply need to be installed correctly.
