1972 was the last year for front and rear chrome bumpers and for 1973, a plastic front bumper was added giving the car a more modern and updated loo. The increasingly popular choice of an automatic transmission was chosen for this Corvette. The LS5 454 big block was again available in 1973 and this Corvette is equipped with that engine. In 1972, Corvettes sold 27,004 units at a base price $5,533. Finished in Targa Blue with blue correct blue interior, this Corvette looks stunning. The T-top configuration, newer aluminum core radiator, Performer RPM aluminum intake, and Holley 4 barrel carburetor, all make this the ideal Corvette.
