Stunning ‘68 Big Block 427 C3 Corvette Garage Built Restomod

[@yamahaxs6501]

That interior is tight! The C3 is one of the most beautiful designs ever.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Agreed on both here

[@oceanhome2023]

And most troublesome, it was the first year for that body lots of problems but the rebuild took care of that !

[@truebetold65]

Totally agree 👍🇺🇸

[@thejoshbtv]

Thats a gorgeous blue. The early exterior bumper C3s are my favorite body style for the vette.

[@clubsport9334]

That blue is so beautiful on this car.

[@swully-ol4lx]

I know what you mean because it's the same blue on my 1968 Vette.👍🙂

[@jakefriesenjake]

@@swully-ol4lx Nassau, marina or lemans? I seen a comment on the color. The host of this channel said that it's custom, he went a bit darker than the original.

[@swully-ol4lx]

@@jakefriesenjake my 1968 Vette is International Blue.

Beautiful car. I think adding a 427 hood emblem would really make the car pop👍

Very beautiful 68 427 C3 Corvette Convertible brother.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Yeah, he built a cool one

[@artysmotorsports]

Looks like a hot wheels car and I love it

[@montemaguire4596]

I was going to say the same

[@goldysgarage189]

I like the fact that Shawn points out the lack of control of a mega power car. I'm totally down with that. My own car makes 440 to the tire, weighs 2700 lbs and is more than plenty. A thousand HP is a recipe to shorten your life. Nice C3 by the way. My own taste would be rallye wheels, an original steering wheel and a T56 trans - but hey, that's me, a car is never really finished.

[@dieseldabz7104]

Yup ALL the typical things most folks do, LS and T56 Tremec....Glad he didn't go that route tbh..

[@goldysgarage189]

@@dieseldabz7104 I can fully respect that

[@calebrose4607]

man, that blue on red is absolutely killer!! I don't think you can go wrong with Nassau blue(which I'm pretty sure is the name of that shade of blue, it's pretty amazing), especially on these classic Corvettes! by the way, I'm gonna be at Fuel Fest this weekend with my mom, so hopefully, I'll see you there Shawn!

[@MangoNizer]

That's a gorgeous baby. I like the plate!

[@AutotopiaLA]

C2 fans I'm sorry but the early C3s are the epitome of everything Corvette. Best looking hands down 👍🇺🇸

[@marcusthomas6655]

Ain't even watched it yet and I can tell that it's bad ass

[@johnschiefelbein917]

Love this Vette brings back memories of 1968. Was 21 my friend had a new Vette every year from 65 thru '70. 67 427 68 390 HP, 69 390HP T-top Black, silver interior with the new style side pipes, 4spd. The 69 Vette was $6300 and change brand new out the door. The 70 entered was a 454, auto trans, top with leather interior and Air Cond. This Blue Vette has alot more HP and Torque but it reminds .e of my friend Jim and cruizen in his 68 roadster back in 1968!

[@anthonyarnold906]

That blue is a badass color on a badass car

[@Modestmillionaire]

Reminds me of a hot wheels car with the color scheme and rims on it.

[@rajnbull]

love the car I can't stand the interior color. Great vid Shawn!

[@jjones2509]

I would go with light grey but the red looks pretty good

[@christophwilhelm6431]

Great wheel choice

[@bbc454nos]

That color combo doesn't sound great on paper, but looking at it, is perfect. That kids got vision. Thank you.

[@andrewipp426]

Such a cool car it looks like he has been a gear head from a very young age and he kept this car close to its roots with some really tasteful upgrades ...! It launches real hard it’s neck snapping torque in that hole shot...definitely makes you smile!

[@StandingUpForBetter]

BEAUTIFUL! This is how it's done! WOW! The ONLY problem with this car is that I am not in a position to buy it right now. Congratulations to the very lucky person who is able to pick this car up. It is PERFECT!

[@ernestbamburg329]

Thanks for sharing Sean,,,, that's a SWEET ride 👍👍

[@sidefx996]

Damn I had the very same "76" ball on my '72 convertible's antenna lol. Not my style but it's a beautiful car. Definitely would like to see the original style exhaust pipes sticking out the back . Hope to restore mine one day with the amount of care put into this one.

[@trevorsanchez2470]

Very clean c3! Love the power plant, oh ok I love the whole set up! Thing looks like a hand full!

[@properteaproperty]

Thats about as perfect as they get.. Jealous

[@briankinnear7461]

Loving the old school look. Blue with red interior. Gotta have a soft top in LA!! Love to see the old school BBC and Muncie 4-speed, not your typical LS. Not obnoxiously loud, but got a nice growl. Nice cruiser with the top down. Don't have to yell. Bet those seats get hot....youch!! Should not take long to sell I would think. Love the styling of the C3 Corvettes. Went down hill after that in my opinion. Be safe and stay well.

[@melvinwebb1695]

I have a 68 c3 _427 4speed hard top, white pearl black int. Don't care for red int.,but the blue is super fine, nothing is automatic & no air, but it will walk the dog...love it ,a keeper.

Car is Sick, I had one, pain in the ass to work on. Love the paint and interior!

[@danmyers9372]

You aren’t alone on thinking C3 Corvettes were light when in fact they were pretty close in weight with steel bodied cars. The reason was all the support structure GM had to add under the fiberglass to stiffen the car. Without this the bodies flexed excessively causing cracking.

[@dieseldabz7104]

Junk STILL cracks

@@thehighclass64 Haha people don't realize how far OUT they stick, and as soon as you stand up after you step out of the car you instantaneously weld the back of your calf into something resembling a fresh out of the oven slice of pizza. Quite possibly the hottest thing known to man. Even worse than motorcycle headers because the pipes are larger hence a much larger burn lol.
