Thank you so much for this video. I bought this spoiler but was reluctant to put it on because I didn't want to drill holes on the car. Now I'm going to put it on with the caulk

Nice story i have a 02 Vette with 20k miles i guess if u can afford a vette you van afford the upkeep 😅

I’m sorry you never buy a car sight unseen or not inspected by a reliable source. You never said how much you paid. If it was little it was worth the extra work. FYI all the dampers wobble even new. Odds are the one you change likely would have lasted. The Corvette is a rewarding experience if you own the right one. It can be the car from hell if you buy the wrong one. Changing the damper change the front cover and seal. Also check the water pump. Yes you need to clean the cooling. Grass and leaves are always there. They did program the fans to lower temps. C5 is really an easy Corvette to work on if you are a bit handy. If you buy anymore Vettes go look at it, drive and investigate the car. You dodged a bullet here from what it sounds. It is easy to find a good one local unless you are looking at a C1 or C2. Most people. miss the top condition and end up with a $1500 bill for a top. Some folks just don’t change oil over time just miles. In climate control you are often ok going a but over. Your confession is good for the soul. My 02 is local and while a few minor things it has been a blessing. I was over under and in this car and had 2 other Corvette buddies and then a third look for any reason not to buy. They could not find anything. I have been the mechanic on the giving bad news and that is tough crushing peoples dreams. They save their life and wait then buy crap and then lose money and end up with nothing. It is sad. Corvettes are not an impulse buy unless new. They can be the best used car or the used car of satin. Only you can prevent the latter. Buy smart and not emotionally.

Watched your video all the way through. I own a 2003 C5 automatic. I'm 70 years old and can relate to your perspective on doing the repairs. I'll be curious if you'll have some of the issues I've had. My C5 has 160K gentle miles. I had to deal with things like oil pressure sending unit, HVAC display blank, ABS module quit. With the help of KZbin, I tackled those myself. I don't even know if my pulley is wobbling. I haven't looked. I love my C5, but my biggest complaint is the leaking rear main seal. A local shop says they can replace the seal for $1700. It leaves a small puddle on my garage floor. My grandkids call the puddle "lake Chevrolet".

It just doesn't make any sense !

I’ve seen one like this before! I like the color and interior. It’s a C1 retro look C5! Very nice!👍😎

Its basically a glorified C5 sir.. I own 2 rare color C5 convertibles myself. But the cost of these are crazy..

Very cool! I have seen one other retro C5 in Ohio. I believe it was a 1999 Navy blue car.

Thanks for posting again! Always enjoy your content! 👍😎

A very interesting car. I do see why you like the car. I can not wait to see more videos.

Love the car Gary. I don’t remember you giving any indication about the rarity of it in your first video, so I was really surprised. Looking forward to seeing and hearing more about it

Enjoyed your video as always, can't wait to see the car.

Good to see you again. I thought you had quit the KZbin biz lol. Don’t worry about how smooth your videos are. I enjoy them very much. You have almost 900 subscribers, you’re doing something right.

You are correct it has been a long time. The car looks great from the opening picture. You are a braver soul then me. Buying the car sight unseen. Is than a picture book from your C8 build? One more question have you considered buying a E-Ray or a Z06? Can't wait until the next video on the car.

Sounds good, anxious to see it.

Did you ever figure out how to mount the waterfall

Man, that's the poshest garage I've ever seen. Mind you, that Caddy's gosh darn posh too! What a machine.

Great vid. I need a fuel pump also, where did you purchase yours?

Real classy . Real head turner.

Nice, informative video. Grille swap looks great. You should put a 2016 emblem on the back, too.

Looking at one now… curious if I should let my VW id4 and go with the ELR. I owned a 2011 Chevy Volt.

Struts fail I love that thing

How reliable was it it .

Where’d you get your replacement tank?

I can’t find Corvette Mods??

Where did you get the headrest flags. And how do they go on?

Beautiful !! Hope all is well 3/3/2024

Love the look of your car, I almost went with yellow but I liked Amplify orange a little better. I'll update when I get my cover on Corvette forum. Thanks sir.

7 weeks seems like a long time. Turn around should be quicker than that

Can you tell me where you bought the Z51 decals you installed on the back quarter panels? I'm sure you mentioned it in a previous video but I can't seem to find it. Also the license plate bracket with the corvette decal, did that come on the bracket or did you put it on yourself. Thanks

They should have design it like a glovebox with a door, you could use it to store/hide small stuffs, such as a phone lol. About the black cluster trim, was that an option or did you add a cover?

We cheated and ordered it installed on our 2023 3LT HTC, it looks great and I think it looks better than the higher ones. Good video, nice C8.

I have a 24 C* HTC in Accelerate yellow also. I was going to get the painted waterfall from RPI. Did you ever get it to fit properly and if so how? Thanks.l

Ya know, you kind of remind me of someone 🤔 . That would be myself, lol. Thanks for the entertaining video.

Links to Products you use or purchased would be very awful

Hello- I just bout a 2014 with 90k on it. It is a very beautiful car black with the peanut butter seats. I’m still learning it. It stay’s in garage most of the time, but my EV is at 29. Should I be worried about the battery. I heard it’s 10k to replace. I have always wanted this car & now I have it. I’m a little worried. It drives like its brand new. I’m still trying to get educated on my ELR. 😊

Love your car and your videos. I have a 1968 and I need help with the headlights and how the vacuum system is supposed to work. Any chance of making a video on that?

Glad you made another video. It's been a long time and I always enjoy them.

Happy Holidays!!!! Just a note. I had my first oil change at Paddock and had no problems with the service. I paid out of pocket for the oil change and they even said it was right in my account that I had 24 months or 7500 miles to redeem the paid first full service. So I can use that up next time. Hope you had a great driving season here in WNY. Had mine out today after work and passed 3400 miles in my first season. Who would think we would have 60 degrees in December. Next video can you update on how your all seasons feel now that the cooler weather is here. My next set will be all seasons.

I always enjoy your video's. I always wondered how many cars were in your collection. The corvette that you are interested is kind of interesting. I do like the color combination. I am also lucky That I can retire to my garage and enjoy my 70th. Maybe before you sell the Camaro you can do a video on the car. I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Do both pairs of fender tip and bumper lenses illuminate?

Do you want to sell your old wheels?

Lose that license tag holder on the front of it, at least I would it looks horrid on there like that...

Man I love tht garage ! Can't wait till my C8 is living it up like tht !

Tidbit of information, this 67 had the 1968 turn signal and parking lights installed in the front fender edge caps. So at first glance you would think this is a '68. Also, regarding price back then most stickered between 8 and $9000 with options. It was one of the most expensive cars back then. So I would compare it to $90 000 in today's dollars so you could get the comparison.

I have a 69 riv. Having trouble finding a fuel sending unit. Is yours new? If so where did you get it? Thanks!

How Are you liking the spoiler since you put it on and any accumulation of dirt underneath the spoiler. What kind of racing stripes do you recommend?

Hi where exactly did you get the cross flag for the seats!

Just getting into these two years, love both years, and everything you have listed seems to proves it’s a 67. Logical from your book, Cadillacs of the 60’s, the likeliness of end cap transition late in the 67 production year makes sense. My first thought was the obvious differences in the dash. Love this car, so elegant, and the fire chief siren and story behind it is pretty cool :). Jealous of your garage..geez!

Also looks better without vinyl top imo
