[@apexdetail85]

Something a bit different for the channel. Hope you enjoy it as much as I will.

[@KrispyKarl7]

Apex Detail I cannot wait to see what it looks like by the time you’re done with it. This is the kind of series I was hoping for and you more than delivered :) Thanks again Brian for taking time out of your busy schedule to bring us along for the ride

[@koioo2]

[@bulldurham66]

Will this be a flip or another family member?.... nice complete find Brian, patients paid off, possible jewel !!! Curious....how many were the Big Block 454 Coup and Convertible ?

[@Codriver72]

It does not take much brain capacity to work out that you, sir, have a thing for corvettes :) I love original cars and to see them preserved and taken care of. I have a soft spot for the C3s but I am way to afraid of the galss fibre to ever buy one. This will be another fantastic project to follow and I will be enjoying every minute of it.

[@tonymattisson6158]

Will be a blast to follow you and your journey with what seems to be an awesome find! Congrats to your Vette C3 Brian! If I would give you a tip to use until you switch them or if they are good to use. It's the rubber seals in all of the parts where you can opening them as the doors and hood and trunk lid. That's to fast get them clean and do 1 or more treatment with the 303 Rubber Seal Protectant. This is a magic product to restore them and make them soft again. It ups the ability to keep water and moist out of the car and also reduce the wind noise from them a lot. Maybe you already know this. Otherwise I recommend you to try it out and see how you like it. It's also great on new or the vehicals you drive in the winter when the rubber seals can get wet and freezing so you don't get into the vehical LOL. The 303 Rubber Seal Protectant is an awesome product to reduce that risk to almost a non risk of it to happen. Also maybe a gentle clean on the other rubber seals and bushings. And maybe treat them with the 303 Aerospace Protectant. It's something in the 303 that restores rubber in an impresive way. These things are also something that is known to dry out on vehicals stored for a long long time. And when you start to use them again they fail many times or gets very worn very fast. Engines and the gear box rubber bushings and also on the suspension and also all of the rubber tubes in the engine compartment. Basicly where you have rubber the 303 can save them many times or gets them to not be worn so fast as if left untreated. Will be interesting to follow your project!

Looking forward to this series. I really like the way you give so much information away to help your viewers.

[@254JROCK]

In Vett heaven. The sun 🌞 always shines epic find , Congratulations 🎉 Brian

[@donleblanc7223]

A very nice barn find, I love corvettes!

[@shaunjones7234]

What a great project, looking forward to seeing you do it Brian 🇬🇧

[@michealrobinson]

Love it! Excited to see the transformation!

[@spencersmustache2844]

I'm excited to see this resto. Awesome find.

[@rickpom1]

Love watching these come back to life. Especially when its with one of my favorite detailers!

[@michaelcampbell01985]

That's an absolutely amazing find. Congratulations on finding what some of us could only dream of.

[@vetteboy1024]

I’m very excited to follow along. I fell in love with Corvettes when I was about 8 and saw one at my Elementary school. They are by far my favorite car.

[@williamthomastaggart5080]

Brian, congratulations on the barn fine, this is going to be fun and looking forward to following along with you during the restoration.

[@Thewaldo12345]

My first car was a 1974 corvette. 454 w/TH400. The original engine was gone and had a truck 454 in its place. My dad and I did about a 90% resto on it as it needed some odds and ends but was good enough for us. I want to say dad bought it late 1980’s and we sold it in 1998 or so before I went to college. Kinda want to get another one. Can’t wait to watch this restoration!

[@MichalJuul]

Congratulations on the car. Looking forward to following series restoring

[@lifeofbrian9511]

Awesome blast from the past cant wait to see it run and hear it rawr!

[@brianmiller3349]

Great find. Looking forward to the next episode Brian.

[@damcleandetailing]

My wife and I have been eyeing up C3 Corvettes for a bit now and hoping to get one in a few years! Really excited to see this restoration Brian and glad you found such a nice example!

[@derek3142]

4 speed L82... this is gonna be an awesome series, what a great find. Looks like it’s in great shape.

[@josephcirelli9642]

Wow! So far she looks good! Can’t wait to see she after the wash and then how you detail her!

[@samv2783]

Brings back great memories. I had a 74, same red with automatic trans, black interior, rally wheels, and luggage rack. Not very fast but fun to drive.

[@ericseidman8295]

Nice find. Thanks for sharing and looking fwd to the journey

[@scottsigmon926]

Can’t wait to see all the videos on this new chapter of Apex detailing. This will be interesting and yes I think you found a real gem!!

[@stimpynguyen4419]

Can’t wait to see u work your magic. I don’t mind long vids and hopefully we get to see step by step. 😀

[@triplecdetail3844]

Looking forward to seeing this thing shined up and hopefully a few clips of it running!

[@jamiclemente3626]

I love this kind of video Brian. Usually videos of people finding vehicles that been found in barns, garages or even containers just show the find and then what it looks like after it's finished. Step by step of the wash and restorations are going to incredible. You're always very thorough with your process and how you narrate through. Awesome start. Thanks Brian nice find!

[@kikcodog]

This is going to be great. The 2 cars I lusted after as a kid were the '71 Cuda and the C3 Corvette Stingrays with sidepipes. I grew up in a GTO so my eyes wandered. I almost bought one a few years back but decided on a Formula Liberator instead :)

[@kevinhickling144]

Going to love this Brian, my wife"s favorite American car.

[@PetesZ400]

I'm gonna predict this will be my favorite series of anything you've done so far.

[@todaywithbk]

Fantastic find! I can't wait to see what you can do to it.

[@JTBlair-nw6gb]

Congratulations man! Enjoy your new project. Can't wait to see how good it looks when you're through with it.

[@chadrandolph9874]

I love this Brian! This is going to be fun! :) 👍🏾 I’m here for the whole restoration 💯

[@jeffmartin6721]

Excellent looking forward to this series.. always since about 7 or 8 yrs old a Corvette fan.

[@2010stoof]

I'm interested in the series!! More about correcting the salvageable paint and treatment of interior

[@rlhh4]

Love it!! Can't wait to follow along.

[@loopsandthreads5028]

Sweet find! Following!!

[@jsherk5]

Looks like a great find! Can’t wait to watch!

[@RedBilyeu]

Can’t wait to see you transform this car!

[@bdstansberry]

I'm so pumped for this! My boys and I are looking to do the same with a C5 Z06. Probably not as intensive of a restoration due to age, but we're still excited!

[@donrollo7329]

I have a 1971 Corvette 350 4 speed that i got from the first owner back in 1985. It has always been garaged but i have not driven it since maybe 2001, I think I may have to take the cover off it and try and get it running again after watching this video. Cant wait to see the rest of the videos to get my motivation back into this Corvette! P.S. it has 85,422 original miles on it.

[@akaredcrossbow]

Can’t wait to see this one come back to life👍🏻👍🏻

[@csheasby]

Love the Vette. I have two of them, a 75 manual that I'll be restoring and a 77 Automatic. This looks like an awesome find, well done. I'm from Australia and l will watch with great interest to observe the work you do.

[@nicorallysport]

Super 👌, definitely more!

[@bigbluezo6]

this is great can't wait. love those old Corvettes

[@Potzii85]

Love these Restauration Series :) Can't wait for it to come back to life. I restored a white one of these bad boy's once. Very thin paint, sensible to heat because of the polyester body.

[@mattmerwin3842]

Looks awesome. Can't wait to see the progress.

[@buff6637]

That Vette doesnt know how lucky it is to fall into your hands....it will!😁👍🏻

[@youngestson6537]

Great find. I'm following right along with you.

[@acts2211]

I'm very excited to follow along and just on my untrained eye looks like you have a great paint to work with there's a lot of shine on a driver door and that was inside the barn so I'm confident you'll be able to restore the vast majority of the original paint and make the car look fantastic

[@GerardL]

Nice channel surprise! I am really looking forward to it!

[@carsmartsmedia2324]

Looks like a great starting place! Following!

[@nefaurora]

Subscribed!!!!! Can't wait for this one! .....Thanks! Tony K. , Melbourne, FL

[@rumrunner1756]

Ok, this is above cool. Can’t wait to see this one come to fruition. Keep as much originality as you can. That’s just my opinion, it’s your car and your money. Way to go Brian. I am definitely excited about what’s ahead for this classic. 👍👍☮️

[@jamesbiedlar590]

I will enjoy this B!👍

[@inxs13]

Looks like it’s going to be a fun project ! Thanks for letting us share the fun. Loyal fan of your work here. Keep up the awesome work 🤘🏼

[@danmorrissette4814]

wonder how the fiberglass and gelcoat are gonna be!! Cool Barn Find~!! this going to be fun!

[@georgemattar1182]

Great find. L82 and stick. I have a 73 coupe L48 with stick. Brian be careful with pressure washer on C3 cars. They leak water especially tha windshield area. Water gets in and rot will begin. Love it. More videos please.

[@apexdetail85]

I agree...these seals have held up well. I normally would do a rinseless ...but this had to much dirt on it.

[@therushden]

Always loved corvettes, ever since I saw Face on A Team turn up in one. We don't get many in the UK. Great video, can't wait for the next episode.

[@bangmygears]

Looks to be in pretty good shape. Gonna be even better after you're done.

[@chadj8349]

Looking forward to the resto.

[@claudiovargas9571]

[@tobyhigginbotham2564]

I’m excited! Can’t wait for next video.

[@ldtriton]

Congrats on the find B! Can't wait to see the restoration process. One thing that I would hate to see though.... The look on the guy's face who sold it to you after you finish the transformation. 😱 😂

[@glendon6367]

Super excited. Can't wait to see how far it comes with a little bit of work. Keep 'em coming!

[@RJT11]

I'm looking forward to these series of videos. This was great idea and I'm sure it will be interesting to many people. You keep coming up with the best content out there.....THANK YOU!

[@Neur0bit]
