1972 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray – Numbers Matching, Denver Original, Elkhart Green

This 1972 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is a true Denver original. I’ve been told it was sold new here and remained with a long-time owner for nearly 50 years before I acquired it. Finished in rare Elkhart Green over a Saddle leather interior, this C3 offers classic looks and impressive drivability.

Factory-Installed Features:

Interior upgrade package with real leather and woodgrain trim

AM/FM radio

Steel wheels with chrome trim

T-tops with original black vinyl storage bags

Heater

OEM carpeted floor mats (believed to be from a slightly later C3)

Drivetrain & Performance:

Numbers matching 350ci small-block V8

Rochester QuadraJet 4-barrel carburetor

3-speed automatic transmission

Posi-trac limited-slip rear differential

New steel fuel tank recently installed

The engine runs beautifully—starts quickly, idles smoothly, and pulls hard. It feels quicker than stock, suggesting possible internal upgrades, though it retains a stock-like idle. Highway driving is smooth and easy—this car is very drivable.

Modifications & Upgrades:

Upgraded front and rear sway bars

Rack-and-pinion power steering

Period-correct airbrushing from the early 1970s—done to a high standard and still looks amazing

Overall Condition:

This Stingray remains largely stock aside from the performance and steering upgrades. All major systems are in great working order, including:

Pop-up headlights

Heater

AM/FM radio
