1970 Corvette Stingray C3 WideBody Custom

[@alexhc21]

I watch this video a few times a year and it never gets old

[@TofranBohk]

That's a beautiful car. C3s are my favorite style of Corvette.

[@SH1974]

The C3 is the best looking Vette and this one is awesome customized! Flat, wide, black and powerful, that's how a Corvette have to be. Great car!

[@SChaconJr]

To me, Corvettes represent some of the most beautiful cars ever built. I'm in love with these cars. They're stunning. And this one is no exception...

[@beyond_the_infinite2098]

Corvette bodies were made to be modified. Lowering, fender flares, spoilers, hood bulges, wide wheels/tires. Bad boy mods.

[@lemmehaveone]

The stance of this thing is incredible.

[@visovancalin]

I'm car carrier in the states , had all kinds of cars on my trailer ( porsches , ferraris , u name it ) and one time i had the chance to drive one of this C3 fell in love with it , that's why I'm restoring one of '69 beauty right now and I can tell u to make it real nice u can spend around 50k but its worth it, because its one the most beautiful designs . I know they are all those modern cars which they do 900hp and they look blank no shapes like boxes , who cares my friends ? on this one u have chrome , u got style , u smell gas and u have a Sound what a sound !

[@kinganus1]

all these modern cars r jelly beans.. they all look da same different color... shitty evo's look like corollas.. they dont stick out... vette on the other hand is eye candy and so much sexier than any japanese import

[@Red_Salmond]

Corvette will always live on no matter what

[@kinganus1]

ya but no one is driving them here in Ontario, probably alive elsewher

[@rubyred93chev]

Hot in the passenger cabin unless upgraded heat shielding is used under the carriage, as well as more modern and thicker internal insulation, notably around the engine tunnel. All that said, one of the best designs that stood the test of time: 15 model years! Thank you Chevrolet, we love your work.

[@Buelligan88]

+Gene Ebeling This is a problem with a lot of the cars from that era.

[@billydefrancesco2376]

Gene Ebeling ......I had to put Ram Head headers on my C3. helped reduce the heat inside the cabin.

[@stevechaconjr941]

This car is a favorite of mine. My heart skips a beat--then races frantically--when I watch this video. It's no wonder. I love Corvettes!

[@stanbunner8351]

I bought a 1970 Corvette Stingray in 1996. She needed a lot of work if you know what I mean. I really enjoyed having her, and drove her 350/350 L46 4 speed. The original color was Laguna Gray Metallic, and was in need of restoration, or a preservation. She did not look like, or sound like the one in video, but kudos to this one, and many others like her. Mine was original body, not with flared fenders and other custom features. Sold her in 98'! Still I enjoyed this video, thx.

[@hawk77y]

Looks amazing. This was my first fav car when I was a kid.

[@SH1974]

C3 is the most beautiful Vette ever made and this C3 is just awesome!

[@raza44276]

one of the coolest 1970 corvette iv seen just a amazing piece of beauty

[@tigersrose15]

Love the car. Mine isn't from the 70's, but its still the same with all the power and handling to blow the competition away. Corvette all the way! If you don't like it, ill prove nothing can beat it.

[@mambaracing]

Looks better than it did 30 yrs ago..

[@kristoffersparegodt420]

It’s cool, but I’d rather have it stock

[@RoYaLMarTineZ]

thats the kind of corvette I like, good suspensions, great look, dosent look too flashy but the tires rims and fenders are insane

[@GregLuft-ent]

What an awesome sweet car! I would like one please!

[@driftborst]

deffinitly of of the most beautiful cars ever!!! the sound is soooo f**king great damn 5/5 stars

[@dacasman]

i like the wider tires and wheel wells

[@heelflipsarecool]

Da na na na na batman! Awesome car, i wish they still made these, not the 2012 ones but a new corvette that looked exactly like this, like bring back some old models.

[@1MatchesMalone1]

Amazing. Love the arches. What Bruce Wayne would drive in the 70's, in the day time anyway.

[@lemmehaveone]

Those wheels are tight-sick-awesome. And the stance of the beast! Dang son!

[@FROSTWIRE307]

The music at 0:51 along with the camera pans across the car reminds me so much of Gran Turismo on the PS2

[@machone7I]

Dude, in the 80's the Corvette was pretty much what it is now. One of the fastest, best handling, most iconic cars in the planet in the time. The 90's C4 were still fast, with versions like the ZR-1 and the Super Sport being extremely fast for the time, tuned after the release of the Viper. Of course, the car went through hard times in the late 70's until '81, but most of the car industry did too. Your Elise was an Exige in some othe video by the way.

[@stanbunner8351]

Put some sidepipe's on this Stingray. Next, give us a ride inside. Still an awesome C3!

[@alexl91l24]

Best car ever made !

[@kinganus1]

corvettes r sexy

[@3333458dale]

You don't know shit. This is the way it was done, before liteweights worried about "value".

[@DIOSpeedDemon]

I think the vette is great but the 1994 McLaren F1 was my absolute favorite. You cannot be V-12 racing engine sounds.

[@keelyleilani1326]

Vipers are better, but I love the Corvette Stingrays far more than any newer Corvettes.

[@ES992]

I previously thought this car was visually perfect and unchangeable... but this does alright.

[@Clayphish]

Very cool, my Dad has a 71 that almost looks identical. Even the colour is the same.

[@1huarache]

makes me want to get the stingray even more being my favorite car very motivational video

[@Gabriel_90_Gheorghe]

this car has a great design for '70 a beautiful and exotic car

[@roddickandgasquet1]

hot ass car. i might save for one of these when im in high school.

[@ToKoMiKo]

@trech987 Looks like they put extended fenders on so they could have wider tires.

[@frederikhamburg]

Wow what a beautiful monster!

[@Mr-TheSaint]

I like the chrome bumpers from 1968 -72 best of the C3 generation Corvettes. This one have L88 fender flares and offset trailing arms because of the wide wheels. For those that wonder it is Centerline wheelws(this type of wheels was pretty common in the late 80`s and early 90`s I think this car is really though I think the best looking Corvette is the C2 1963-67

[@pR1sooeem]

god, turn off the music, we want to hear that magnificent V8

[@gregorytimmons4777]

At least he seems to have some driving skills. I like it. The flairs are pushing it a bit but it's not just gawdy bling and looks like a 'vette that still corners good.

[@OldviSinger]

a dream come true The C3 is the best ever !!!

[@kinganus1]

c5 wins

[@DIOSpeedDemon]

This car came out the same time as Ford was selling Detomaso Panteras at the local ford dealer for like 4 grand brand new.

[@Glidescube]

You see...once upon a time GM did know how to make cars!!!

[@p3rfectlym1saligned]

My god, that thing is a BEAST! I want it!

[@ammosmoke6026]

@Janusha Yeah, they still designed the body though. And they totally redid the suspension and the drivetrain. The engine is filled with Hennessey custom parts. Hennessey is a tuner not a manufacturer.

[@koxy911]

such a beautiful car....I dont know whos got hearth to dislike this:/

[@parkairfreerunning]

I actually like its stance alot. Its badass.

[@eastonmackay]

in terms of aesthetics i love the front half of the 1970 stingray but you gotta love the 60's split window, that's just damn sexy. If only you could combine the two

[@scarface115]

@unclefreddie70 they made a nonofficial concept of the c7 based on the design of the c3, it looks really good. it's called the c3r, too bad they're not going to put it into production though. i doubt gm would take a retro aim at the corvette.

[@z2153]

I like the body style of this much better then current one. I'd buy this one over the the new ZR-1

[@ChrisBrideauMedia]

Love the wide body kit!!

[@tiortedrootsky]

I'm in love with this car! Keep returning to this video every now and then The name of creator Manfred Kubitschek.

[@CarFanMan]

I know! This car rules!

[@RIEKSONE]

those tires made this car look like a champ

[@usuk173]

Truly my favorite car, I would trade a lamborghini for this

[@trillrifaxegrindor4411]

you honestly dont even have a prius to trade so shut the fuck up

[@colecloth8182]

trillrif axegrindor congratulations genius. Your only 8 years late.

[@kristoffersparegodt420]

trillrif axegrindor. WTH why are you so aggresive

[@mageac]

@thehuhuSB no.... a proper built suspension does not need a spoiler, it would only help at 100+ mph... where on a track is a straight stretch anyways

[@viper90987]

damn those flared fenders make it look good damn thats butiful!

[@JBanderob]

@Piamp6 wheel wells have been flared to fit wider tires...

[@FAISALIA88]

it is excellent ,i love the car,what are the wheels size and pack spacing he is using?

[@niten84]

encontraste uno? joer que envidia te tengo macho jajaja. ahora a disfrutarlo eh? jeje, ojala yo encuentre alguno tambien. un saludo desde españa!

[@MrB4LLS]

wow.. it's very well preserved.

[@CarFanMan]

@c6rocks I agree that the fenders are a bit too flared for daily driving, but I think for racing it is probably necessary. If it were my daily driver, I would go for less flare and smaller tires as well.

[@satchboogyfan]

@eper83 the song is sharp dressed man by ZZ top

[@SidneyAfraneTwum]

damn i love the stingray, wish i had one.

[@Chrillothekid]

Always nice with a Corvette C3 but many things on that car were not original. Still a fast car on the trax even today. I wounder what that stingray does on the Nürnbergring?

[@Heribert10]

yeah! im from germany and im driving this hot corvette

[@Naturalhit]

I don't remember a vette like that having so much fender flare. It's that customize?

[@pattydrfc]

sweetest car ive ever seen!! how much is it worth now its custom?

[@mageac]

@mengle2004 i like it better myself, short wide tires look awesome to me... only benefit i see from bigger wheels is that you can fit bigger brake rotors

[@CarFanMan]

@clborg88 100 kph is 62 mph, just FYI, so a 0 - 100 kph measurement is pretty close to 0 - 60.

[@StoneLeviathan]

I want one or two. It's so wide and beautiful.

[@ghostsniper3223]

Practically got the same modification on mine / 1980 C3 ( except fat body )... One day we got to race together : 70 VS 80. Not very far away, I am in the South of France ;-)

[@neverfurther]

Bad to the Bone by George Thorogood and the Destroyers released in 1982 on the album of the same name

[@mageac]

@thehuhuSB how often would it go around a corner at 100+... not much need of more traction on a straight stretch...

[@SHADOWBRAN2]

do they come that wide stock? wow

[@RocknSwoll]

I love this car way too much .. It's not even fair

[@schizofrenia32]

@D3f11 Its funny you say "take off their airbag to get a momo wheel" because subi's in japan come stock with a momo airbag steering wheel and they still take it off to put a race wheel on.

[@ablaylock4273]

on my list for when I win the lottery

[@cameltoejoe69]

@fast98gtp I agree. Kickass car, second-rate wheels IMO. Some people like that style tho so to each their own.

[@vettefreak5]

The car is mint and I love how all the mods flow together. My dream car is a '71 stingray. I was just wondering what was the inspiration to go total custom on this vette? Most people freak when you change anything on these cars especially when they know as much about them as you clearly do. Now don't get me wrong I'm not saying that stock is the way to go. My vette will have mods to it. I just didn't realize that there were any other true vette freaks such as you that would change one so much.

[@truebetold65]

This car should be a ride in the next fast and furious..it would be the star of the show.. trust me

[@redghost105]

@jacobgillcash im putting a chevy 396 big block engine then getting the pistons board out as big as i can get the pistons so it wont actually be a hemi but it will be close

[@Barrywfa]

@fresh817boii it was called "Corvette Summer"

[@nikker1985]

Whas it easy rebuilding? Finding Parts from USA and all?

[@Eddiemotor]

i have a question about the 69- Corvette's rear window, is the car really good viewed from an aerodynamical point of view when it comes to the rear window, i mean, isn't the car having some sort of disadvantage with that rear window the Corvette got, that rear window pressed back, i don't know if it's good when it comes to aerodynamical aspects, when like you're about to make a classic dragracing/NASCAR-Corvette replica, or was there available with a more aerodynamical rear window?

[@thorgyn666]

God damn, I just love that car

[@ColdBloodedCarl]

That really is a beautiful automobile!

[@niten84]

no sabras si los vende alguna casa especializada en españa verdad? gracias!

[@ChrisBrideauMedia]

It actually called Give me all your lovin by ZZtop!

[@baptistedeschrevel]

may i ask if you know the name of the stingray corvette , "cubacheck" or smthg, but i can't find it anywhere on google

[@BGKO1992]

Doesn’t the deep dish hurt the axles ?

[@ammosmoke6026]

@Janusha There is differences in the body if you look. I doubt they went and bought up 300RR bodies that don't exist, because they are quite rare. They never claimed it wasn't a Lotus, they stated several times it was a Lotus, and it remains a Lotus. Why the hate? Just because an American tuner company decided to revamp an Elise? You don't see this kind of heat on an RX7 Veilside Fortune. For the record, I like Lotus. I just don't understand the hate.

[@MARTINSRANCH]

sehr schöne Stingray! es gibt leider nicht mehr viele davon in Deutschland, wann sieht man sowas noch mal auf deutschen Straßen? great car, awesome music Gruss Martin

[@BOTmaster15]

0:50 - any title/info on that music?

[@adm2204]

This is what the heartbeat of America sounds like... He says loudly over the sound of the engine :(

[@Jossienheimer]

Love the slide at 1:45 Isn't 180000euros over 300000 dollars in americain?

[@dasadopeboy]

nice choice in music... zz top and this corvetteis the beez knees.

[@johnnyjonesmusic]

The STIG needs to drive this car on Top Gear!!!

[@rjsny350]

where could you get flares like that?

[@DtothaACE]

Are those rear fender flares after market?

[@EXTREME4YEARSTOCOME]

the 69-73 rear bumpers where the nicest

[@900cc]

God Bless America!!! Are those the L88 wide body flares?

[@ultimafreak]

a Pure Beauty!! in its finest Stilletes

[@BlakesWrld]

that is one wicked 1970 corvette i like it

[@nniicckkk1994]

hello, I want to buy a Corvette from the 70 but I cant find howmuch the consumption is? (gas) somebody nows that? thanks
