@@paultrouskie1825 I have to say, 67s are a real close second for me anyway. I just weighed my buddies convertible 67 327. It was almost the same on all 4 corners! Came in at 3100 lbs.
@7080nik My dad brought the Corvette home in 1970. 427/400 HP. Red. Sidepipes. 4sp. Handed it over in 2005. Back in 1970, had 3 siblings. Dad took us to the drive-in in the Corvette. I drove it in high school. Lot of history with the car. Fun times.
This video brought back memories for me. At 19 years old I bought a 68’ Vert and semi restored it. I think I paid $3500. That was 44 years ago. Manual brakes, steering, and trans. It was a handful. Your Vette looks like it has power steering, beautiful car, enjoy!
Beautiful. I owned a '71 roadster back in the 1990's and had a ton of fun with it. Your video was very evocative for me, even the sound that the filler neck on the gas tank made when the gas nozzle hit it. Such great cars.
@@hanshoogendyk2203 my friend had the 68 427 4 spd in high school, still has it since 76 or so, HOT BOX! Even in Nov on Long Island we baked. Plus hard starts.
And in the Corvette you're separated from the even hotter running 700 lbs of iron big block by a 1/4" of fiberglass and some worn out insulation so you really cook on these hot days. These cars can really be brutal without air conditioning.
Coolest Corvette generation of all.
My '67 begs to differ.

427 bbc with side pipes… such an iconic sound ❤️
This made my day! Greetings from NYC USA!
Japan looks absolutely lovely, and to have that ‘Vette as a vehicle seems like Heaven.
Cheers from Brooklyn!

WTF??? Japanese gas pumps have a place to put gas caps.
Japan always do better.
They do know how to use their brains more lol
wow.. a classic corvette in JAPAN! that would be quite an experience..
The sound of your car ,wao super classic, greetings from Miami Lakes Florida.
You earned a new subscriber.
Man that must turn some heads over there. Turns heads here and we're used to seeing stuff like this haha
Nothing sounds quite like a big block Vette with side pipes. Only possible contender is a 427 Cobra sound.
Love the sound!
You must be the coolest guy in Japan!
Sweet ride. I bet very few people even know what you're driving!!
love the sound of a Big Block
Takes me an hour to go to the gas station down the street in my '76 stingray....🤔😇
What octane are you using?
Based on the redline on the tach, you have the solidlifter cam engine.
U rock dude 😎
sounds great!
Very very nice.
Outstanding!
Cool gloves
nice!
確かにコルベットはガソリンを大量に消費しますが、そのパワー、性能、デザインは息を呑むほどで、購入価格に見合うだけの価値があります。ボンネット上のフロントフェンダーフレアは、いつもとてもセクシーに見えます。ご尽力に感謝いたします。
Must have sidepipes quite loud. A little annoying when on long trips.😊
As long as you don’t stand in line for gas or wait until the tanker shows like the 70’s, Gas price is irrelevant especially if you own that car
The price of gas ( per litre) in Japan?
Cool video. What was the Octane of the fuel ?
Meanwhile, American guys are collecting vintage rice burners
Sounds like you know a small handful of Americans.
@@tylerhubbell6410 big handful
It's a trend that's dying. Seems like 80s-2000s domestics are nexy
Remember Pearl Harbor !
Whats the highest octane available in Japan at the pump?
Sorry but my C4 eats this for lunch. Take premium gas too!
100 degrees and you got gloves on???
What's the significance of the temperature?
Old hi perf cars run like crap in high temps

I think this video is fake, he didn’t do that thing all muscle car owners do where they rev the engine before shutting it off at the gas station.
Driven gloves are so gay
Is this good or bad?)
How would you know this?
With no power steering and a big block the gloves are a big help.
