'72 LT-1 Corvette,17k-mile survivor, orig Mille Miglia Red paint, nice docs
I've said it before...there are evidently quite a few extremely nice LT-1 Corvettes out there in survivor condition. I haven't seen this particular car on the market before, but it looks pretty extraordinary.

Yes that is a nice car for sure. Would love to inspect it in person.

Should go for good money. But, LT1's never reached the pinnacle they should have. Always in the shadow of the BB cars, very under rated. A 72 LT1 versus a 72 BB, manual and same rear end ratio usually quicker in the 1/4 mile.
A lot nicer to drive than a BB, more agile. Contrary to what the seller says, most came with power steering. |

It’s an overlooked fact that the LT1 engine option was actually more expensive than the 454 LS5 engine. Not just by a little bit either, it’s a substantial difference!

I'm a rejuvenated fan of the LT1 Corvette. These are cool cars, especially the ZR1 if you can find one.

----My 70 LT1 that I bought new ran 12.90's shortly after I bought it with headers, and borrowed to tall slicks, with a 3.70 gear. Literally no tuning what so ever. The slicks were so tall I ran thru the traps in third! That's fact and at the time surprised the hell out of me. Still does!.....Bill S

Question for the experts, as I’m wanting to learn the procedure on these LT1 hood stripes.
Did the hood stripes stop and then start again at both lower turns as shown in these photos? Plus, how were they applied? By hand, or by tool? Thanks, Chris
