1961 Corvette - Using parts to build a Corvette from the ground up!

[@bennyconiglio1928]

The vette is beautiful. The owner looks great for being almost 80. He's young at heart.

[@ClassicCarChitChat]

Benny, he certainly is and just a fantastic gentleman.

[@frankename1984]

Superb Video about a true Legend of a Corvette. What a Story.

Couldn't agree more!

Beautiful Vette!!! ❤ It’s so amazing looking. I love it! Being a Vette owner myself, I have a 67 Coupe. It’s my pride and joy 🙂

Brenda, First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. My intention for the videos is to allow "ordinary" people who love cars an opportunity to speak about their car and why that car means so much to them. After all we are all the "caretakers"of our cars (as Jay Leno rightly says). 🙂It truly is awesome car.

[@kaitoriyama1981]

I have seen this car around a few shows in Toronto and had always wanted to know more and you captured this great.

[@ClassicCarChitChat]

Kai, you probably have for sure.

[@davejohnson2814]

Fantastic car and great guy sharing his beautiful car.

[@ClassicCarChitChat]

We agree!

[@roncarter1958]

Great car, great story behind the build, great driver profile… another great video Kevin…

[@ClassicCarChitChat]

Thank you Ron, so amazing to see David's love and passion after 52 years for his car.. It's as though they were newly weds.

I too tried rebuilding a 69 Camaro from parts in the 70's. It is next to impossible. To see this guy create this gem is outstanding. Really enjoyed watching this channel and love the style and content. Just subscribed man.

I love seeing one of my all-time favorite cars restored to this degree of perfection. Fantastic video and I could relate to the fax machine challenges.

[@ClassicCarChitChat]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@danedwards9511]

Some sweet ride man.

[@ClassicCarChitChat]

You said it Danny.

[@tonytanfara2508]

I had a 62. 11083 vehicle out of 14531 matching numbers car. The drum brakes couldn’t stop the vehicle and bias ply tires were tough to maintain lanes in wet weather conditions but driving this vehicle was great.

[@ClassicCarChitChat]

Tony, wow, that is amazing. With drum brakes it’s more of an “intention “ to stop ahead than actually stop for sure. I also wanted to take a moment to personally thank for taking the time to watching my videos, leaving a comment and for subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. My intention when creating these videos is to showcase not only the beautiful car but give the owner an opportunity to share their story, love and passion for their car. Thanks again Kevin.

[@BernardBouchard-qq9kq]

@@tonytanfara2508 the chassis brake's and tire's on a C1 Vette were from a much larger car you should not have had any of said problem's.

[@omarhanraman9133]

Great video man.

[@ClassicCarChitChat]

Appreciate it!

[@troycobb6925]

Great video and fantastic history and I can relate to the fax machine 😅

Awsome corvette

[@ClassicCarChitChat]

Thank you Paul. I also wanted to take a moment to personally thank for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. As you may have seen in my videos that my intention is to showcase not only the beautiful car and really give the owner of the car (the caretaker as Jay Leno rightly says) the opportunity to share their story, love and passion for their car. Thanks again Kevin.

[@BernardBouchard-qq9kq]

Don't take what is said to heart.I'm 75 and have owned my 61 since highschool. Still have original chrome.I knew Don Yenko he had no trouble with Jag's.put in a Hay's 10.5 borg&beck.

[@ClassicCarChitChat]

Bernard.. yes thank you for that. There is always a solution.

[@corvette_coolness5492]

I did the same thing with my 62. All I started off with was a basket case. It was wrecked on the back. Engine was torched out. Missing front driver side. I took a 61 rear clip and mated to the front cab. It took me 10 years finding parts. It’s on my video page.

Thank you Diego

[@suddenlysolo2170]

Might as well have built a kit car.....nice to look at but no actual collector value

[@ClassicCarChitChat]

You are right there. The owner built it based on what was available at the time and over the years.
