The C3 Vette is still No 1 sports car . The 82 with modified brakes and suspension is and will always be the ultimate rod. I'm 75 and still married to my 82 Collector Edition, together forever. ❤. 🤩
Full frame car, independent rear suspension, double wishbone up front, and 4 wheel disc brakes -all in a cheap classic corvette. The performance offered in these vintage cars is super overlooked.
"And of course you have things that were probably there before the car was restored." Like the misaligned glove box! I'm only kidding, this car is gorgeous.
I used to think green was THE most putrid color you could put on any vehicle, and now some of my all time favorite, lust-over cars are some shade of green. I remember when this one first came in. I shouldn't have taken so damn long thinking about it and just pulled the trigger. I hope the new owner is enjoying the hell out of this beauty.
@@McNabbula I know the color you’re referring to - my grandma (yes, grandMA) had one. She’d had an Aston Martin and thought it was “too flashy” so she sold it and bought the Shelby. The story was that she told the salesman she wanted “the best and the nicest Mustang he had” and she drove off in a maxed out GT500.
At 62, I finally own an 82 L83/ 24/26 coded C3, and consider the 80-82 the best looking of all C3s, and also the 3rd lowest production. (71&73 others) I am just starting to research the LS conversion vs the 383. I heard you indicate that GM makes a basic LS3 plug and play kit that bolts right in a C3. Where can I find more information on this kit? PS- Love still seeing the side pipe bolt holes in all C3s, it is a sexy reminder.
I've always felt the C3 was the pinnacle of Corvette styling. The C1 was a game changer, the C2 is stunning in its own right, but the C3 just has so many terrific curves and lines that flow into each other with such harmony...every corvette since just hasn't had that specialness in their design. The only problem with it was GM's build quality in the era, which was atrocious, and the interior, which is actually kind of insulting, even for the 70s/80s.
why are they not making plug in crate motors for the C4 corvettes? First generation C4's with the L98 ( the ladder was easier coming with the LT1) What a market to go after but only one place has say the adjustable motor mounts but nothing else? I would have dropped this in ages ago if there was some wiring and conversion.
2 things...1) How tall is that dude? Makes it look like a toy...rofl. and 2) even on a restomod they cant fully fix the glovebox door. That thing is the worst engineered part ever made. Cool car...
Hold on. You said the C3 was the Vette with the most displacement AND it was throughout its entire run?? To my knowledge, the last several years of production the one and only engine option available was the 350. All I ever remember in the 80, 81 & 82 model years was the 350 and I think 78 & 79 that was the only option as well. 68 through 77, best I remember, had multiple options but 78 to 82 was just the one. Or am I mistaken?

The C3 is the best looking muscle car ever
Sports car
This is such an amazing setup. I can imagine it's quite something to drive.
That is a beautiful Vette! Kudos to the builder!!!

Luv this mod...really looks good...great overall vision. C3's are really space constrained on the inside...i doubt this big guy would fit
Fantastic job on the C3 guys!
An absolutely STUNNING Corvette! If all goes well financially, I hope to connect with you soon regarding this.
Love the color and the interior absolutely gorgeous Corvette .
Yellow Riviera in the background is interesting.

A lot of the 67 GT500 Shelby’s had a similar green. I didn’t care for it , now love it. Better times are associated with the color I think.

I appreciate these cars but, prefer the slightly earlier C3's without the fender flares. But, this car is very impressive.
Very unique car.
If those wheels were polished this thing would be perfect
A proper Pro Touring setup on a restomod C3.
The only thing I’d say is you should of done the inside to match the wheels!!! Other than that🔥🔥🔥

Indeed! Thanks for commenting!

すげー完璧です！アメリカにはこんなc3がいっぱい走ってるんやろね。
Zow, Nice resto-mod. They need to better properly fit the glove box door & that non flat bottom of the rear bumper.

Nice
The 74-82s just beg to be LS/5-6spd swapped..
Dis guy looks 7ft tall beside the car holy s**t!!!!!
Did u build the arm rest? If so how much for one?????
We did not build the arm rest
For crying out loud why was a manual not put in with the LS swap?
i cant beileve the glove box gap doesnt line up bet the ret of it has alot of issues
I would love to know what this car sells for. I have an 82 restomod with a 550hp 427.
How much is to build one of those? I’ve got a 79 that I want to build.
Better have deep pockets
Nice automatic. Lethargic. Wife's car?

OMG! What's the price???
109k, just seen it before this video actually
Look.....Paul Bunyan is selling his vette.🤣🤣🤣
My fave style.shite ergonomics
These corvettes are stupidly under valued
Its just a White Mans Toy
Doesn’t exactly sound amazing… don’t get me wrong it sounds good just not great.

1980 seen just over 3500 California spec cars built with 305 engines. 74 was the last RPO engine car based on cubic inches.
