Gertrude, well done. You’re a lady after my heart.
😂
@@thegarykluttpodcast I just hope Gertrude is still with us. ❤️ Andrew from near London
Love the Bryar Blue....never, ever, never have i laid eyes on one this nice. thanks for sharing.
Amazing find - and you can clearly see the difference a low mileage original vs. an over restored car. Love it!
Good to see you again Peter, I used to watch you all the time on Dream Car Garage twenty years ago.
On the turntable it looks like it jumped right off the gran turismo lobby and into reality.
This car is absolutely perfect!
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.
Very cool car patrick!
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.
What I discovered when lamenting my first Corvette, which was a 1968 427 4sp convertible purchased in 1969, was. That sliding behind the wheel of a 69 BB and looking over the bludging fenders brought back fond memories; Until I left the lot and headed down the road... PS Do you still own a Corvette?
@@jamesw.6931 Thanks for asking - no, sold the Corvette after a couple of years. At the time, I was being transferred to different bases in the military, and needed something with more space inside. Back then, people usually bought cars to drive and use them, and Peter's find of this '72 is truly the exception. Hope he finds a buyer that will continue to preserve this piece of history.
@@tu_alum5619 I also drove them daily, summer, fall, winter, snow and ice. Then it dawned upon me that I needed a daily driver, and in 1981, the subsequent Corvettes were summer only. I'm currently on my last new C-6 Z06 with 11,800 miles. So, what do you think about the C-8 or the E-Ray? If I were to go back in time, it would be a 1970 LT-1...
The alarm was optional in previous years but standard equipment for 72 and up.
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.
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!
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 dearly miss my 72 Ontario Orange 454..............owned a C4,6&7 and now my C5..............love my C5 but I'd trade them all to get my 72 back.
Cool ride!
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!
Amazing car.
I love that blue!!
Another great video! That car is absolutely beautiful, a once in a lifetime buy.
always good to see you, Peter. i'm sorry if i can't get excited about this 'Vette,
Just beautiful !! Was the sale price in 1972 for this corvette $5,600 ?
Thanks for the video !
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
Clean, flowing, sexy lines.....this 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.
I'd love to find a Vega or similar in this condition. Now that would be amazing
Beautiful 👍🏻🇺🇸
🤩🤩🤩
I don’t see the pollution device in the engine bay
This must have sold quick.
Ohh la la
200 h.powers..yikes!!!..hillarious..
Is it for sale? Please respond
How much does it cost ?
She drove it 175 miles a year, weird, no prices at all on website, I didn’t want to call and hear it and other cars are $250,000.
My 73 has 28k orig miles. It’s almost as original as this car
L48?
No. The L48 was the base motor starting in 1973. This one is 200hp net.
Find Gertrude if possible and reunite her with her car
You never see this color
Needs white letters.
Love when people get upset over original against” over restored “. I like that it’s original but restored usually means it’s a better car than new. Better wiring ,instruments, drive train, suspension,paint,upholstery. I have a classic and it’s now a far better car than when it was “original” they weren’t built that well back in the day.
Right we all know that but you have to understand the value in a rare original car. A car is only original once. And a '24 Z06 is a better car in every way than a '67 L88 (well besides looks of course). Yet there's a reason one is worth $150k and the other is worth several million. This isn't a car you modify, but there are plenty of other '72s out there (like mine) that aren't particularly rare or valuable that are begging for more power, better suspension, overdrive transmission, etc to make them better drivers.
The white walls have to go.
I have been told by tire guys that you are putting your self in danger by driving with 7year old tires no matter if they are low mileage is this try? I replaced mine and kept the originals if next buyer wants them.
Yeah I had a tire salesman tell me 7 years also. I think 10 years is not a problem. 40 - 50 years ago there was no time limit, but tire lifespan was 30 - 40 k miles back then. I think I saw pretty significant sidewall crack on one of those tires though.
Nice car. That should bring in at least a good 25,000 of course that would be at the high end
No chance. Far too low.
Seriously? That car is worth a lot more than that to the right person.
lol, nice try
Just one man’s opinion here, but I think the originality stuff is a scam. A car is original only once and that’s the truth. The minute it leaves the showroom, it’s a used car in new condition. The scam occurs when these restoration shops buy a whole bunch of new parts and install them on a car that’s been taken apart and restored to what they call original. Then to top it all off, some guy goes around with white and yellow chalk and tries to duplicate what the factory worker wrote on the car after he completed his task. If this is your bag, and this floats your boat, more power to you. Cars are meant to be driven and enjoyed and well taken care of. When they get to the point where they are starting to look shabby, go ahead and restore them so they look nice again, but don’t tell anyone that the car is “as original“ because it isn’t. The real hilarious part is when you take that same car after it’s gone through several hundred thousand dollars of restoration and you put it in a show and some guy walks around and judges it as if it just came off the lot. Original is short-lived. Life is short. Make the car look nice and then drive it as often as you can because time slips away without you even knowing it. You will look back and ask yourself why I worried so much about having the correct washer or hose and didn’t spend more time behind the wheel.
So for this car to remain valuable it has to remain in a bubble. Rarely driven,never used. Just stared at until it gets moved to another owner. What a waste!
To me, I’d rather own a C2 1963-67 Stingray Coupe. Others don’t do a thing for me.
I don’t think the point of the vid was your desired year. I speaks to the value of a survivor??
