410 rwhp and 2700 pounds, basically a go cart with a 3rd gen corvette body. Sick build👍

[@in_the_building1]

Dodge engine, not ls6 Okay it’s an ls6

[@brianspangler3771]

@@in_the_building1 If you're referring to the lettering on the valve covers, it does look like it says "Dodge" but I believe it reads something else. It looks like it says DCG.

What a bitchin vette, I've said before I love old Corvette's made into badass hotrods they are are so cool

[@charlesroer972]

rbszx14r bitchen havnt heard that for a while. Vette Certainly is .

[@CarguyEd5150]

I love the logo on the car that says built to be thrashed. I'm so tired of seeing beautiful, vintage American muscle cars turned into trailer queens that are more for showing off and investment opportunities.That Vette looks sweet and badass at the same time and I'm sure is a blast to drive. Get in, buckle up, and get it on!

[@clarkhinkle]

Ive had several corvettes. Always been a big fan of them. Ive had the Bloomington Gold one and another one that's almost to that caliper. Always looked at them and I sold the 1960 and still have a 1967 big block. I ve had the car since 1983 and 1996 I completely restored it to a beauty. I seemed to never drive them as they were to nice. I bought a 2015 z06 and I told myself never again will I just look at them. I burn the fricken track and roads up in the z06. Which now I'm driving the old one like it should be driven. Im having a blast and not looking at it like a piece of fine glass. I love what you've done and driving it like you stole it. So you guys that have one no matter how nice it is drive it.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Love hearing that! They’re meant to be driven and the little blemishes add to the beauty imo

[@mari0c0leman]

I’m glad to see these old vettes getting some love. I’ve seen too many of them rotting away in fields.

[@dukeallen432]

73-81 really need to be rediscovered. 69-72 have following.

I remember watching this C3 on Four Speed Films, Beautiful car I love the style and pro touring aspect! 😎👍

my favorite part are the flares those are insane and super clean

Reminds me of David Freiburger’s F-Bomb Camaro.

[@tommyfrombama4834]

I'm not a huge fan of most "widebody" cars, but the swoopy lines of the C3 are actually complimented by the flares. It's like they belong there. This car is awesome This is the second video I have seen on this car, and if anyone else features it, I'll watch that one too. Lol. Great job man!

[@CraigReeve]

I'm not usually too in to Corvettes but this is a car that demands some attention! Very, very nice!

[@AutotopiaLA]

I’m not either but this one is perfect

My 1980 C3 is 2976 pounds. Has 550 WHP Runs 10.82 no prep w/no trans brake on Mickey's drag radials 275/60/15. 4L80e/3600 stall, , 4 Lik w/4.11 gears. 11.0 to 1 / 434 SBC N/A with AFR 220 heads. And its a driver runs on 93 pump gas. And can go anytime as far or as log as any would want drive her.

That wide body looks so good. Stunning C3! As always you guys nailed it with the sound.

[@MikeLaRock88]

This is my favorite corvette ever. I want to copy everything but paint it Satin black or Midnight purple. Definitely the best looking car on this channel

[@bravofoxable]

Maaaaan! Every ingredient in this car bakes one fun cake! Hugs the road, nailed to it, plenty of get up and go, jeeez that motor responds instantly to the pleasure pedal huh? Completely radical Badass indeed. Thanks Shawn for showing us, great job Garrett, so glad you really use and enjoy the car

[@vincentcook5089]

Love that Vette! Built to be thrashed - oh yeah! The green color and fender flares - perfection.

[@primozkrajcar4144]

That was a good one "it is a real LT-1! Relax, breath everybody!" As a 71 Vette owner I must say I dig this car. Nicely done. Pitty you didn't dig more in the chasis because I know Van steel and the do awesome stuff on chasis and handling for a Corvette comunity! Interior is nicely done too. Really nice build! Kudos to the owner!

😂 what a cool build and sorry we didn’t get more into the chassis. I always miss something
