1972 Chevrolet Corvette "Shark" For Sale in West Palm Beach, lorida 33401

This is an Amazing Custom Built 1 of a kind 1972 Chevrolet Corvette "Shark". It has a Custom Tube Chassis and a Supercharged LS 2 Engine. This is a Museum Quality Show Car that has been featured in 8 National Magazines. It was at the 2012 SEMA show in Las Vegas, here it was sponsored by Meguiar's Wax.

It has won Numerous Awards and Trophy's that are included............TRULY AMAZING....

At first it looks like almost any other '70-'72 Corvette Stingray convertible. Then you notice the fender vents are gone, he five-spoke American RacingTorq-Thrust IIs are bigger than the stock Rally wheels were, nd the chassis bristles with chrome and stainless-steel hardware. Then you really start to notice the changes on the '72 Shark, tarting with how the bumpers were fitted onto the body. "They were cut and sectioned, o pull them in," "That's because the '72s had a bumper 'nose' that pinched up where it comes together with the body. So that was cut out, nd then the bumpers were repositioned to fit." The '72 was the last year for chrome bumpers, ront and rear."

Given the drastic nature of the transformation, t took a four-year project to transform the car into the House of Kolor "Osmosis Red" Vetterod seen here. Finish-care giant Meguiar's was so impressed with the handiwork, t gave the scintillating shark a premier spot in its 2012 SEMA-show booth.

Started by keeping the original body and glass, ut little else. The stock frame gave way to a welded-tube SRIII Motorsports setup, n anticipation of the LS-series engine, 56 six-speed gearbox, nd high-tech suspension that would follow. But surprisingly, ot even the car's underpinnings were immune from the customizing fever. When the chassis came in, he tubes on the front were square, So Kenny Morrison of K-Tech Automotive cut them out and made them more rounded. That fit the look of the rest of the chassis. "We also ground the welds down, anded them, nd got them just as smooth as the outside of the car. So the underside of the car looks as fabulous as the top side," It isn't just the frame that looks great underneath: Check out the high-tech suspension pieces by Heidt's—especially the company's Super Ride IRS with inboard disc brakes—and the Ridetech air suspension system. "We have [up to] a 5-inch change in ride height with the air suspension,"

Performing even better than it looks is the supercharged LS2 under the hood—not to mention the hood itself. "It opens by raising up and coming back toward the windshield," this unique feature generated no small amount of interest the first time we showed the car. "It was an all-Corvette show at Silver Springs State Park, ear Ocala [Florida]. All the Corvettes were lined up with their hoods up, nd there was this red one with its hood open in the wrong direction,". "Everybody was looking at it and thinking, hat the heck is that? It got more attention than you could imagine." It got even more attention in November of 2012, n the Meguiar's booth in Las Vegas. "There were probably 6,000 pictures taken," "There would be as many as 10 to 12 people around the car."

Take one glance at the '72, nd you'll understand why the knowing car people at the SEMA show needed to get a closer look. Especially noteworthy are the parts that K-Tech Automotive's Morrison fabricated, hich include the engine bay's side and rear panels, long with a 4-inch cold-air intake to keep the MagnaCharged LS2 (which puts out around 550 hp and 500 lb-ft of torque) happy.

"When you go to a car show, ou want to see something different—not just a lot of store-bought chrome on someone's so-called 'custom.' That's nonsense. They may have added flash, ut that's not...much of a modification." And not anything to compare with this once-ordinary, ow-extraordinary shark.
