Corvette C3 Big Block 454 !!

[@drumking241]

Gorgeous! Love the color, The C-3 is what made me fall in love with the Corvette back in grade school, I have a Quasar Blue Metallic 93 C-4 and love it to death, would love to have an early 70s C-3 as well if i can ever afford it.

that engine makes this car even more valuable

[@Rlotpir1972]

The key-in or driver door ajar alarm is standard in every car starting around 1971. By 1973, the 'alarm' was also used in 'Fasten Belts' alert lights as the car shifts into drive and later in 1977 when the car starts up for a period of 5 seconds as well as the headlights left on after car is shut off in some cars (became standard during the early-1980s).

I miss the chrome front bumper.

[@dennisjoseph629]

73's are confused. LOL Am I a rubber car or chrome car? Ha Ha Ha Last "real" chrome bumper car was 1972..

[@neatcool4770]

@@dennisjoseph629 I like how the rubber bumper comes out and curves down more, making it look sleeker. I'm looking at the lines, you just like chrome. The chrome front stops right after the lights, the rubber front goes several inches past the lights. The 73 is the best, that's why I'm here and not watching a 69 video. Even the designer said he liked the 73 best.

[@jamesrusso4830]

chevy need to make the c3 corvette come back.

[@Melvivio]

I have great passion for this motor, but I would like to know how big is the difference between engines? Is a full option 350 just as nice to drive as a 454? Or does that depend on on other things with the c3 vettes?

[@meadows2488]

gorgeous blue insane 454 great sound

[@Boredout454]

Id like to see someone take that stock 454 up to 7,000 rpm a few dozen times..... especially it being a 73 and LS4.

[@talkingvegetable3538]

Don't forget to add zinc with every oil change; flat tappet cams must have it and the oil companies don't add it to oil anymore... unless of course you want the lobes on your cam to disappear... jus' sayn...

[@BreizhVince]

Are you going to make a video of your '64 GTO ?

[@v8monster186]

you've done master piece

[@Kdubzlovescars]

That's sick!

[@lamborgone1]

Boredout454 you are dead on dude! Tony's blowing some smoke up everyone's ass with that power crap. No way in Hell this thing has anywhere near the power of 70-71 454's.. Remember he's trying to sell a car that's probably only worth 60-70% of what he's asking..

[@SNaKEBLiSkEN]

you just have to take off the smog equipment to bring that engine to life....it's a wonderful vehicle regardless. the glass is half full not half empty

[@davidmizell940]

70 has way more power than 71. Remember 71 was the year Ed Cole ordered all compression ratios be lowered in preparation for the unleaded fuel which would be required with catalytic converters.

[@reitoei2929]

275 hp in this vs 365 in the '71 LS5. '71 LS6 had 425.

[@michaeljkowar]

Tony's correct Dennis, you just blowing smoke! You're another dumbass who thinks you know something, but don't.

[@Sherman62]

@@reitoei2929 Net vs gross. Very close in reality. An LS6 would be great if more than a handful existed. 188 were made. Now they are extremely rare and expensive. If I wanted an LS6, I'd clone one.

[@espoelstra]

Sweet Emotion !!!!!!!

[@Ultrakillerism]

I feel stupid that I never knew the '73-'74 Corvettes had a T-top, a friend used to have a Camaro with a T-top, really considering getting one and ship it to Europe, of course with the 454ci

[@dennisjoseph629]

Two Vettes from 68-74 T-tops or Convertible... Most people don't know. LOL

[@Sherman62]

@@dennisjoseph629 Yep, first thing everyone asks..."Does it have T-tops?"

[@billp5656]

ALL Corvettes from 68-82 were either T-tops or convertible

[@ronaldwynn8452]

U might have a hard time finding parts for these vehicles

[@christianharb8374]

Nice

[@MrTomosko]

Wow muscle

[@Specialized1993]

nice

[@craigscott5661]

The collectible cars start at 72 and go back. 73 is not that collectible. All Chrome bumper cars bring more money.

[@87ferrarif40]

You should start driving the vehicles, while doing the full review!

[@MR_Faith_Music]

My neighbour has one just like that except its yellow

[@JoeCORNNUT]

Why would it? It is a lot easier to drive automatic than have to shift every second.

[@SNaKEBLiSkEN]

Joe Aroush naw..shifting is fun...I used to think like you till I grew up an mastered the clutch. ..will NEVER go back. why do you think men that know and love cars always chuckle and scoff at weak ass automatic transmissions

[@Rlotpir1972]

@@SNaKEBLiSkEN: I had a 1982 Plymouth Turismo TC3 with a four-speed and it took me three months to master it. After that, I stick with automatic and later CVT transmissions.

[@craigscott5661]

Rowing gears is the only way to go with the old vetts. Plus it’s a anti theft device.

[@87ferrarif40]

That sound, it sounds like your lady cheating on you! 😀

[@rhare7353]

Not the most expensive, LS4 a $250 option L82 a $299 option

[@87ferrarif40]

The luggage rack is ridiculous looking, remove it, please.

[@FlemingsUltimateGarage]

This car the way you see it back in 2012, kind of hard to do without a time machine

[@craigscott5661]

Yea I have a 72 and I removed the luggage rack. I think they are ugly but they are an option.

[@jeffbowman4585]

I owned a 74 not a powerful car!

[@davem6685]

Ok, alright.

[@PuertoHotz]

Ugh... Automatic transmission ruins every sports car!
