1969 Corvette 4-speed 350/350HP test drive & look Monaco Orange Texan 69 Vette C3 Stingray

Get in this 69 Vette and listen to that optional 350/350 horsepower V8 sing behind the Muncie 4-speed tranny. This 1969 Corvette 4-speed showcases Monaco Orange paint & is tight as a drum. Special thanks to PC Classic Cars in Sherman, Texas & Donnie Smith for taking us for a ride. Thanks for watching Samspace81 for your dose of cool car videos.
I got my start working in classic Corvette restoration. Are they muscle cars or sports cars? I say both. My dad and I built 1968 to 1982 Corvettes for several years. I especially love a 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971 or 1972 Chevrolet Corvette C3 Vette Stingrays.

Still driving our 1969 Stingray and it roars like a lion, love it so much!

[@samspace81]

Great cars! Timeless lines

[@Hauser03]

What color is your car?

[@heistodl3141]

The Stingray is one of the best looking cars....

[@samspace81]

100! Thanks for following Samspace81

[@CosmikDebrisFZ]

Love the lines on the 69 corvette.

[@samspace81]

Me too Vettes kinda lost that over the years! Thanks for checking it out, love the color too. Ironically Its also an SS exclusive color on 69 Chevelles

[@theresasagner7215]

Really like the body style of the 69 vette.Awesome corvette.

[@convoy814]

Now that’s how you drive a corvette!!

[@samspace81]

I like the way you think

[@daleandrews9356]

You can really hear the results of that high lift or long duration cam - or advancing the timing - when the camera pans to the rear to the tailpipes while it's idling.

[@samspace81]

Yes! Thanks Dale for chiming in. Appreciate you following Samspace81

[@shiftintohigh5564]

No air in Texas. I did that on a 70, LT1. For about 6 mos. lol Very Cool to watch!!👍👍👍😎😎🇺🇸

[@samspace81]

Right on, thanks for watching too! Love Vettes.

[@daveb1081]

idles so awesome! all the old C3s seem to have a really distinct sound!

[@samspace81]

Absolutely, thanks for watching

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

I would like to have one of these... 😁

[@samspace81]

Me too, a personal favorite since I got my start building them! Good to see you watching, I appreciate the love as always.

Absolutely! They wind up so nice. Thanks for following Samspace81

[@satan2084]

There’s two things I use to describe a good sounding exhaust, “roar” and “growl”. If you got the growl but no roar it sounds like shit. If you got the roar but no growl it sounds like shit. This car has got just the right amount of both, it makes me melt when I hear it.... Like butter.

[@samspace81]

Thank you Satan! Me too man

Great drivers and lookers

@@samspace81 how hard is it to get them up to decent hp? like 400 lets say? are engine swaps easy on these cars?

[@samspace81]

Good heads, cam, Pistons, can be done or just swap it out

[@juniordietz651]

Bro i have the same exact stingray and the same red color

[@samspace81]

Those are keepers

[@Felix-yt4ox]

Nice Video! Is this the stock exhaust system?

[@samspace81]

I believe so

[@keithsclassicgarage1133]

Sad that most all 69 videos here are for sale? I love mine!

[@samspace81]

Right? Good time to keep them

[@westogarage]

what’s the cam? is it the stock 350/350 cam? or is it an aftermarket one?

[@samspace81]

RV cam

[@davevolz6138]

Used to have one and liked. Wife made me sell it because of no airbags.

[@samspace81]

Geez bummer.

[@TheDonmackinnon]

She could stay home and bake 😜

[@danwalker2642]

I tell my wife that every time she gets in my 72 vette I now have an airbag.

[@cameronschichtel278]

those stock exhausts were restrictive u should put some nice side pipes and shoot an audio only vid

[@samspace81]

Wish I could have spent more time with this one. I appreciate you watching the Samspace81 classic car channel

[@convoy814]

No don’t do that. Exhaust is perfectly fine!!

[@thud9797]

Agree, sounds and looks good and the loud side pipes ringing right next to your open windows and ears gets old after a while.

[@user-bj3zz4ul7z]

I had 68 427

[@mgn5667]

killer

[@samspace81]

Thanks

[@joevette6290]

It seems to " whine" alot on upshifts???? maybe that L-46 is mated to an M-22??? after listening again its definetly a " rock crusher" nice car!!!

[@samspace81]

Good ear

[@thud9797]

The M20 or M21 will whine a little but the M22 is much louder, this is definitely not the M22.

[@james8662]

Car is nice but cant hear hardly any of what was said in video.

[@samspace81]

There wasn't much said James, I'll try to tone the background noise down more on the next one. Its always a balancing act, I screwed up another portion of this video with a double take too lol Thanks for the constructive criticism, I appreciate you watching Samspace81

[@ryanmcgouirk2655]

Need to make it sound better like a corvette I am a big corvette fan I have 10 of them

[@samspace81]

Nice Ryan, love Vettes. I got my start in Corvette restoration actually. What years do you own? Thanks so much for following Samspace81, your classic car vlogger

[@RH-ke3od]

Guess the reverse lights don't work

[@samspace81]

They usually don't 9 times out of 10 when i inspect a car

[@Ebbeebbeee]

Denton? I saw me frosty

[@samspace81]

Yes! Most of this was filmed in Sherman, Texas though
