All about C3 SPECIAL EDITION Corvettes

[@TheSurfRyder]

These were the cars that as a 12 year old I fell in love with Corvettes.

[@Paulie1232]

Thanks Lyle. I think you're pretty and a world of knowledge....

[@daffiecars]

My father in law was a hydraulic plumber at the Flint plant in 1978. Wish he was around to hear the stories again about the Corvette Craziness

[@7gear642]

Enjoy your fact filled videos! I am originally from Sarasota and I'm surprised by all the new channels and folks I see on KZbin... it was such a quiet and relatively unknown location in the 50's through 70's when I grew up there!

Memory lane!! Drove my first Vette ever in 1985. Smoked T-top 81 and I was hooked. We've come a long way since those days.

[@richarddobreny6664]

i can hardly wait for the C6 special edition video. i have the 30th Anniversary Pace Car. They limited that run to 500 cars and they were hand signed by Emerson Fitapaldi.

Luv ur channel brother

[@RestorationObsession]

I was 12 when that SE came out. I believe that's when I fell in love with the C3 Corvette

[@1039elm]

Lyle - Enjoy your videos. The C3 and C4 Special Edition videos hit close to home as I have a 1978 Silver Anniversary model and a 1993 40th Anniversary model. Enjoy them both immensely.

0:40 in that moment i`m fall in love 😂

[@whatyaworkingontoday5018]

Dang Lyle you have all big league Corvette Content Creators watching your channel. I got lots a good trivia tid bits out of this one also. Appreciate it!

[@scottspitler1443]

Another great video, Lyle. Thank you! (‘78 S/A & ‘15 Z07)

[@rea8755]

I am trying to research if all 1977's came with luggage rack/t-top holders. Any ideas? Going to start binging your vids! Thanks and Peace.

[@csvette]

Hi Rea Beth! Of the 49213 Corvettes made in 1977, only 16680 had the optional luggage rack/roof panel rack. :) Lyle

Great video Lyle, I remember the 78 Pace Car when I finished high school. Dad bought me a 78 Silver Anniversary Corvette used from Champion Chevrolet in 1981. We did stop at Daniel Chevrolet in 1981, they had in the showroom in the wrapper a new 78 Indy Pace Car they had in storage for two years for sale at twice the original window sticker price, $26,000. Would you believe they had a 1969 red 427 Corvette convertible used for sale and they were willing to trade me for the 78 Silver Anniversary and offered me $2500 cash back. Undervalued at the time. Just bought a 73 Corvette Convertible, can't believe how superior the build quality is compared to the 78 and 79s.

[@777FreakyD]

Just picked up an 82 CE a couple months back. Love the color schemes... inside and out.

[@junebartlett470]

Great video Lyle ! Years ago wasn't a fan of the '78 Pace with all the decals on the side, now I'm loving it. Actually looking for one now that needs a little work. Had an '82 collector, very nice too. Lyle keep those videos coming !

[@csvette]

Thanks June! Sorry I couldn't be at Carlisle to meet you--someone had to stay back at the shop to keep the work progressing on our customer cars. Lyle

[@georgehenry3384]

Appreciate the knowledge share!!!

[@whatyaworkingontoday5018]

Quick question, were there early model C3 big blocks cars that came with out any badging? ie. Flags, Stingray etc.

[@ianrosalia2499]

Hi Lyle, I enjoy watching the channel and was wondering if C&S Corvettes will be at Corvettes at Carlisle this year? If so, I would look forward to seeing you guys. 😎

[@xXcashXx3]

When I was looking for my challenger one of the dealers I went to had a 78 pace car and looked to so good I was almost about to buy it

[@RestorationObsession]

Can't wait to see this one Lyle!!

[@dgre334]

Some 82 non collector cars received hatch windows via a third party company that GM subsequently bought. That same company did the collector car hatches under the GM label. Any more info on that?

[@Mazak23]

Cars & Concepts was the company that did their first hatchback conversion on a 1979 Corvette. You’re right, Chevy saw that and bought the company’s plans and blueprints to incorporate the hatch into production cars.

[@rw2983]

The Vin on my 82 came back as a collector edition but doesn't have any of the features. It's charcoal gray and the rear window doesn't open. I drove to it to prom I the early 90s same as my brother and cousin a few years before so I know is all original but not a collectors. Any ideas?

[@petrmasek6353]

I am afraid You forgot about Bowling Green opening celebration 1981 series...but it was also just colour option as the 1978 Anniversary was.

[@csvette]

Petr, I am unaware of any special celebratory paint codes in '81...they split production between the two plants that year and two-tone cars (other than the first 25) were all made in the new plant at Bowling green. I'd be interested to learn more about the option you are talking about--it isn't in any of my knowledge books. Lyle

[@petrmasek6353]

@@csvette Hi Lyle, Thanks for Your reaction. To be honest, I am not sure if it was or wasn´t "special edition", but poster with these two-tone Corvettes from 1981 is talking about this colour combination "to celebrate start of the Bowling Green production". Maybe it is not a poster, but one list in 1981 catalogue, who knows.

[@anftdp]

0:40 yes, I do

[@rusilver2]

lol, no kidding, I had a 78 silver anniversary

[@jimharrow8104]

Outa sight...

[@77cemoore]

Your thumb nail at the beginning of the video shows c3 1997-2004.

[@csvette]

I just saw that. I will berate my IT guy on Friday. :) Lyle

[@RoadOdyssey]

I had pause the start of the video to double check. Then look in these comments to see if anyone said anything. Easy to edit.

[@csvette]
