While Corvette enthusiasts cherish all models, special reverence is reserved for the 'chrome bumper' cars made until 1972. In 1973, a new urethane front bumper was introduced to meet federal 5-mph impact standards, marking the end of the era for the classic chrome bumpers by 1974. This stunning 1972 Stingray proudly showcases its original chrome bumpers, enhanced by striking alloy wheels. Under the hood lies the numbers-matching 454 engine.
