awesome Corvette 🌟 the for Sale Corvette s usually have 2nd hand engine work that is not Original.. this violates the collector concept for more value

I think I used to own the white 81

I have a beautiful 77 L4, eight four-speed for sale it’s not matching motors. I built this motor before about me but I’ve had the car for 47 years 44 years and it’s in it’s beautiful a lot of it has been redone 80% of it just needs like three things air condition fix it needs it could use a paint jobexhaust pipe it’s federal car has no smoke and it passes every year if you’re interested let me know

Swap the back pulley and put a 450r from a Yamaha and give her hell

Never got the pt 4 update..

Mine is a matching number L-82 restoration project I’m getting ready for.

I just got one of these, a 1980 model, last week, it’s going to require new paint and an engine rebuild, got a good price on it however because it’s a part of a trade deal.

I purchased a 74 stingray two months ago no rust in mint shape but needs bac bumper and front thin it will b in show room condition

Great video

I have a dumb question, can you spray foam inside those holes and fill up the whole frame rail to prevent water and snow inside of it

78 🏁indy pace car owner operator. Always cracks me up when someone keeps saying they are not fast. 😆🏁hahaha Bet you wont come out and ride shotgun when I drive on a trip.😮

I Love the silver Edition!

Here’s a tip…anything after a ‘72…don’t buy it!!!

Tomorrow I'm gonna be looking at a red 81 for sale at desert auto collection. Something like that on craigslist, they're trying to tell me it's got 54000 miles, but I think they're full of s*** somebody swapped out the speedometer. It's not supposed to say a 160 mile per hour supposed to say about a 100 or maybe 85 this arrow were absolutely guttless 180 horsepower corvettes. But I'm not looking for speed.I just think it's really pretty

verrryyyyy informative ! that's nice to have some good info all around this car for future purchase ! thx

Not a c3……….

It's impressive how there is not a single coupe owner anywhere with instructions on how to remove the A-pillar trim.

Excellent video thanks for posting.

I LOVE that silver green color scheme on this car. I'm just like you, i love to have the more rare and unique colors on a vehicle. This car is stunning.

Well shoot. I’ve changed the fuel pump/filter, cleaned injectors/replaced gaskets on injectors and added a fuel pressure regulator with reading at 12-13psi and still runs like dog poo. I’m thinking vacuum leak but nearly every line has been replaced.. I’m stumped

I used to want a 2006-2012 manual Cayman or Cayman S as my someday car. But now? I want a c3.

why throw it away if it has a little rust. rust can be removed and repainted. if its not real bad.

from where you buy new one ?

Can u put link for the parts plz

My 82 has never been drove in the rain.. she's all chromed, polished, still a cross fire but I did away with the box and ran two chrome dimes with different plumbing. Added chrome hoses to the headlight doors and vac.. louvers to the rear glass and tail lights, polished wheels and slots, cowl cover, mirror tops, 1/665 blue. Did you know that the 82 is the onlyC3 since 1972 to have the 1972 LT-1 engine? Detuned to pass CA emissions..

I am looking for the same year model and same color. What you think of that cross fire injection motor, is it as bad as they say? Or can something be done with it, minor replacement of "ecu" etc computer?

Great information! Going to pick up a 1982 24/26 Two Tone and was not aware of the frame holes. A-Pillars look awesome, but now I know to look below as well.

Vacuum leak?

Just bought a white and red C3…88,000 miles…my father designed it while he was alive…😉

Looking into buying a 1978 up here in Canada. Thanks for your tips.

Very helpful information.

Appreciate sharing your knowledge mate…awesome!

is it better to buy an auto or stick c3?

If only every used car video for all makes and models was as as straight to the point and understandable as this video is.

My friend had one back in the mid eighties. Worst riding car I've ever been in. Rattling and noisy.

Did you have your side cases reconditioned or how did you handle getting such good looking side cases in the end?

Great sounding song, well written too.

Would love to see a quick video of how the truck is today. And maybe what you have in it now would be interesting.

They actually made 723 silver green cars in 82 not 713.

I like your recommendations concerning where to look for rust problems and as always paint and body are a big deal because a proper paint job on fiberglass will run you bigger dollars than traditional all metal cars and trucks. Where we'll disagree and part ways for the later model C3s is in drivetrain originality. No doubt if you're looking at 1970 LT-1 or one of the many really desirable BBC options from the chrome bumper years original #s matching is worth more than replacement engines. I wouldn't say the say the same of the emissions cars from the mid-70s to the end of the run. I can't speak for everyone but I'd have ZERO interest in any Corvette with performance weaker than a modern Honda Civic so the first thing to go is the drivetrain. If someone has done this for you already and done it well I'd argue that car should fetch more money that all original #s matching, all else equal. Ultimately all C3s through the 1970s at least are the same basic car and all will accept the same drivetrain up-grading and honestly in a world where you can very simply order a crate SBC motors with 450-500+ HP from a bunch of different sellers, completely with warranties. Then there are the many LS swaps that leave me unable to imagine why anyone would even want the original emissions era SBC weaking if it's still there anyway. It's a Corvette it should "go" with the performance the name alone implies.

Did u have a part 4? I'm in suspense

Is the 74 a good choice

Excellent video. This helped me understand what to look for. First Vette I looked at the drivers t top was crooked. Because of this video I knew what was happening and walked away 👏

Where can I buy a replacement dash at

Beautiful, beautiful Camaro! I've got a ridiculously clean 98 z28 ls6 t56 lots of head work super aggressive cam suspension etc. probably hit it with 100 shot this season. I'm making it a street/strip car 100% nhra legal. I feel kinda bad hot rodding it. But I'm also doing it the right way. Partial restoration where it's needed. Anyway very clean car. Thanks for sharing

perfect explanation. Today I bought one 81 to restore and I hope I don't find bad things lol because I didn't watch your video before. thanks for sharing

Good tips

I've restored 4 monkeys 3 are mine an they're fun to toy with the drunks come over and great for city kids to learn to ride on, the hardtails are bone jarring little shits tho lol.

What is the color code for the Corvette in the opening photo?
