'72 Corvette, #s LT-1, Factory Air
Looks like a nice car in a desirable color (Targa Blue). Curious if it will sell near the $69,500 number - recent sales of C3 LT-1 cars seem to be climbing in value.

Lt-1...
Last solid lifter Chevy....pretty cool.
How did these engines run with the lower compression and the solid cam...I always thought those cams required a certain amount of compression to perform properly?? I know they did the same thing with 71 LS-6 big block...interested to learn more. -wilma |
----Nice LT1! With the exception of power windows it has all the right toys. Deluxe interior really helps toward that $69,000 fugure and of course the AC! I can see that price realized, although I would like it a lot better in the mid 50's.....Bill S

Compression isn't a factor for the solid lifters. The main reason for them was the higher rpm. Hydraulics of the day would pump up at that rpm and hold the valve open/bend a push rod, or just collapse, if the oil didn't keep up. |
With the AC, did that remove the deep groove pulleys elsewhere? The redline was lowered so perhaps it did.

NCRS documentation, quality restoration. I have a problem with the chrome under the hood, they were never that shiny from the factory.
