Good video! Can't wait for you to get to 74. I'm always interested in finding out new facts about mine.👍

[@C3Stingray]

My dream car is a 1974 454 4-speed convertible. I can already think of 3 facts about that year that I will cover. Thanks for watching!

[@TCBGARAGE]

@@C3Stingray 74 only year with the split polyurethane bumper, last for the 454, last year without converters, and I think last year for fiberglass floor?

[@trobertson1825]

My dad who is 91 years old has his 1968 327 300 horse 4 speed 72000 miles a survivor I had a72 now have a 15

[@C3Stingray]

I hope when I'm 91 I can keep driving around. 68 and 72 are real classics!

[@ssdtrain1]

I think it's weird how every add back in 1968 called it the new 1968 Corvette Stingray, but no one said hey let's put the badge on the side???. And because of that most people these days don't consider it a Corvette Stingray because it doesn't say it on the fender, even though it was designed after a stingray And mako shark...?

[@C3Stingray]

What is even weirder is that I cannot find any explanation as to why it was not on the fender. I think it was just an oversight. Production standards on the Vettes weren't the greatest when they were in St Louis.

[@Uathankicks]

please do 69 and 70!

[@C3Stingray]

Hope to get back to it soon. Thanks for watching!

[@booboobear6490]

I don't understand why these vettes are not the most valuable of all muscle cars, I mean a 71 Cuda goes for 3.5 mill, a ZL2 Copa Camaro .5 mill, but this vette only 50K, ??? Why🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@Madara946]

78 please !

[@C3Stingray]

78 was my first Vette. May be a while because I want to do them in order.

[@tommccallan8802]

Noooo not the Disco year😊

[@lilibethdoherty295]

That 68 you showed next to the other corvettes were bland and boring compared to that blue beauty !

[@DrivingwithGloves]

Great video! I just drove around 2 weeks ago a Corvette Convertible from 1968. A fantastic car. This the review I made about it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZeZiqpufamZZ8U

Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars, trucks and busses including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing petrol stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime... :-(
