This car is beautiful. Love the colour scheme. Owner has a great eye!, Great job by the team 🎉

[@V8TV]

We agree, thanks!

When I first saw the initial picture I couldn’t wrap my head around the asymmetrical stripe design, I was thinking okay that feels off visually in my OCD opinion. I have changed every car i and my family had from a blue gradient faded 70 Monte (similar to the early 70’s Mako Shark Vette) Royal Candy blue from the roof to a almost sky blue at the rockers, my father’s 72 Impala hard top in two silver and charcoal gray with a flip flop blue pearl. So I truly appreciate a little left of center thinking no pun intended, the more I looked at the paint the more it felt just right, the amount of planning it took to execute and make it look so balanced and just right was really an ingenious feat. Especially with all the changes in the body surface and how the offset stripes really showcase the body lines. The mini hot wheels version of it added that extra cool factor that is vision, and you and your team really nailed it! Outstanding build, thank you Kevin for sharing this video Kevin!

I like this car a lot. The only thing I might have changed is adding the 1967 front fenders. They were always my favorite and they would match the hood.

Wow this was an awesome build love seeing these types of videos from y'all.

[@V8TV]

Glad you enjoyed it Thanks!

[@2ndborn186]

Beautiful. Great looking car. Excellent attention to details.

[@acts2211]

Great job. Awesome paint and stripes

[@mattfarahsmillionmilelexus]

The owner must really like that color combo, he painted his garage to match.

[@V8TV]

Great observation, but that's the front of the V8 Speed and Resto Shop! Maybe he liked our shop so much he chose to have us paint his car to match! Thanks for the feedback!

Beautiful car my favorite model vett !great they kept original wheels

[@scootosan]

perfect build enjoy getting some dirt on it...

[@hauskahirvi]

My favorite Vette is the rare GS racing version from this era. I must say that this is my second favorite I have ever seen. This is really nice and I really like the paint scheme, the wheels and, well, everything about this car. Well done!

[@V8TV]

Those Grand Sports were awesome! Thanks for the kind words on this one, we're glad you dig it!

[@xyrzmxyzptlk1186]

Just for the safety aspects alone, Restomods rule. Excellent work Kevin. This car is a step or two above the rest. 🏆

[@V8TV]

Thank you so much!

[@rogerwennstrom6677]

It really does look like a racing livery from a team that never existed. Very cool, but I gotta admit the asymmetry takes some getting used to.

[@jorgejefferson8251]

Wasn't digging the off center stripe job, but once I saw the paint cleared and the car completed, I kinda like it.

[@domc2772]

wow, real nice work... like the valve cover paint as well.

[@V8TV]

Thank you very much! It's a different little detail for sure.

[@davidclark9687]

V8 Speed Shop. You have made this car pop. Well done. It was a pleasure to see how you all pulled this off. Dc

[@V8TV]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@gofastwclass]

Another great job building someone's dream Kevin and team!

[@z06doc86]

Very nice Vette. The purists of late have calmed down. Just look at the prices restomod Corvettes are bringing. I think even Bloomington Gold is going to have a category for them. Good job guys!

[@doolallyproductions7234]

This was a good one I would drive that everyday

[@V8TV]

The fin thing about cars like this is how much joy other people get just by seeing them being driven out in the world and not just at car shows.

[@toomanyhobbies2011]

What a beautiful Corvette. Really like it, as it's similar to what guys did with their Vettes in the 70s. Only a LOT nicer. Matchbox were the best, they actually looked real. Hot Wheels were silly to some of us, partly because of the ads. Hey, whatever floats your boat!

[@V8TV]

We had fun with all of 'em!

[@bigredc222]

Very nice.

[@V8TV]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@robertrusso6539]

Great looking Corvette. Did you do anything to upgrade the steering? I see you enhanced the front suspension, I was just wondering.

[@mrfin]

Did you guys paint this car to match, exactly match the exterior of your shop? 14:55

[@V8TV]

Right? It matches at dusk, lol.

[@jackperry9369]

I was a Hot Wheels kid u can't expect a kid that plays with Hot Wheels to have less than one car when he's an adult 😂

[@oscarayala7354]

I want to know how much I need to save. If I have a C3 and want a new drivetrain and a ls3. Ballpark? No breaks, wheels or anything, strictly drivetrain and engine

[@V8TV]

We're happy to chat with you to learn more about your C3 and your expectations and some considerations for LS swaps in these cars. If you don't mind, can you fill out the form at www.v8speedshop.com/contact so we have a way to reach you? Thanks!

[@calvinsplan4774]

The only thing missing is my name on the title.

[@jaivette]

Lov the paint scheme, sad no LS set up. Beautiful
