I kept looking at this like "that's not a '79!" Lo and behold I read further and this is a 1979 Corvette with a modified front and rear end to make it look like an '80-'82!!! I'm so oddly pleased that somebody loves the front and rear end changes on the 80-82 models as much as me. It's the ultimate evolution of the perfectly designed car. There is no beauty greater than the C3.
You said it man. I'm not even sure I would drive it, sadly. Too enthralled by its outer beauty. Just sitting on a lawn chair in the garage gawking. Then pulling it out into the driveway, sitting on a lawn chair again, and gawking some more.
Really well done!! I've owned 9 Corvettes and had a '74 big block convertible which I sold years ago and wish like crazy I'd kept it. Anyway this is very tastefully done, I'm sure you've awakened the beast that these C3's always wished they were. I was curious about the wheels, who's are these? Again a magnificent job!!!
Just saw this on Facebook a few days back. Recently sold my C7Z for a better daily. If I hadn’t just bought a house I would have taken this off your hands. If you still had it a few months from now I gladly would
You did one hell of a job on that little baddy my dude. She’s ready for the ball or down for the fight. The little touches, like the gauges under the cowl really set her apart too. You plan on putting anything else together?
and the auto manufacturers in the United States of America. won't build cars with manual transmission. so much any more. GM decided to sisi up the corvettes. I hope you're just as upset as I am I hope that one day GM will come to their senses. and will bring all those beautiful and powerful cars back again. it will be so beautiful.
What wilwood master cylinder was used? I can't get a straight answer for my 79. I have 62,000 on it and I am going to upgrade to a Ridtech suspension with wilwood brakes.
Love the color and the gauges. What auto transmission is mated to the LS3? I notice the windows have manual cranks. Did you add that and take out the electric motors? I have a 79 I bought in Dallas in 82 that I want to add an LS3 to also.
Would you be willing to share your wheels size and backspacing? I own a 70 and in the market for wheels. Full van steel suspension building into a Pro-Touring. That would be much appreciated.
That car is slick! I had an 81 C3 I wanted to LS swap it so bad. C3 corvettes, I think, are ths best looking
This car is beautiful in everyway looks, sound, stance, wheels, modded L88 hood.
You are a master craftsman.
If there's such a thing as the perfect C3, this would be it!
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!! Well done !
Very nice , best of luck with it ❗️🇺🇸

I think think this is the best restomod corvette on UA-cam! Sheesh
Every detail paid attention to....what a stunner
Beautiful car and beautifully done!
Every turn in these beast feel like an action movie scene🤣 I Love it!!
I hate to say it, but I’m afraid to buy a C3. I’d spend all my time staring at the body lines and never get any work done.
You said it man. I'm not even sure I would drive it, sadly. Too enthralled by its outer beauty. Just sitting on a lawn chair in the garage gawking. Then pulling it out into the driveway, sitting on a lawn chair again, and gawking some more.
Oh man, cup holders! That'd be a gamechanger. I'm always stuffing drinks between the seat and centre console.
That Leather seat ASMR was nice! Looking at buying a 1979 soon.
Nice, and it's an automatic. I love the LS 3 , i have it in my 2011 Grand Sport!!
The stance and color choices are so clean.
My first time here....
Show the whole car !!
Looks awesome from what i can see, sounds great, love it !

That machine is perfect!
Oh dude that vet is awesome .
That is a beautiful corvette love the engine job excellent job!!
That is a really gorgeous gorgeous car I wish I had one like that You're lucky fella
Thanks for sharing. It’s beautiful
Best c3 I’ve seen
Just saw this on Facebook a few days back. Recently sold my C7Z for a better daily. If I hadn’t just bought a house I would have taken this off your hands. If you still had it a few months from now I gladly would
Damn..that's a cool ride 👍
Real beast wow amazing
You did one hell of a job on that little baddy my dude. She’s ready for the ball or down for the fight. The little touches, like the gauges under the cowl really set her apart too. You plan on putting anything else together?
Thanks but nope I sold it a few months ago.
That check engine light would drive me crazy.
Wow that thing is badass awesome. I love it.
such a badass build
I would love to do this to my c3 ive got a 74 almost completely stock its just been mistreated its entire life and it deserves a upgrade
Nice brah! I have a mint 82
This car is sick ❤❤❤❤
Love the car!! I also have a C3 Resto Mod.Why would anybody buy on BAT and have to pay the additional 5%. To me that's just crazy. Good luck.
Because some people don't have the facilities, time, patience or expertise to build this car but they have money. BAT makes sernse to mke.
I would have permanent grin driving this one!
what size wheels and tires? My 82 has too much fender-wheel gap and yours looks just right. 😀
I would never go to this extreme without it being a manual transmission.
manual transmission that's the way to go. it is a sad shame that there aren't many people. that love to drive cars with manual transmission. very sad.
and the auto manufacturers in the United States of America. won't build cars with manual transmission. so much any more. GM decided to sisi up the corvettes. I hope you're just as upset as I am I hope that one day GM will come to their senses. and will bring all those beautiful and powerful cars back again. it will be so beautiful.
The Batmobile is an automatic and it’s Badass!
Very nice! I have ‘68 and ‘73 👍
Nice 79 man
Beautiful!! Why wouldn`t you wait for a dry day to make this video?
Nicely Done!!
79 and 80 are the best body styles
awesome cas how much will cost to do the swap
Only 79 corvette ive seen that doesnt suck....lol
That car is mean, nasty and slick at the same time.
The perfect car.
What wilwood master cylinder was used? I can't get a straight answer for my 79. I have 62,000 on it and I am going to upgrade to a Ridtech suspension with wilwood brakes.
damn thats beautiful, what would a build like this cost?
Depends if you do it yourself or pay a shop. 35k doing mostly myself
The C2s and the C3s were the best-looking Vettes
What is the part number for the Wilwood Master Cylinder? Is the rod adjustable in the booster or not. Mine was not. Thanks
How much HP? Tire size? Price of 4L70E, new/rebuilt? Electric pop-up headlight motor? Stereo manufacturer? Dash gauges? Perfect C3, thanks.
What if anything was done to the transmission?
Stall convertor with dyno tune
What color is that? I am lookin for that perfect grey for my 71.
Love the color and the gauges. What auto transmission is mated to the LS3? I notice the windows have manual cranks. Did you add that and take out the electric motors? I have a 79 I bought in Dallas in 82 that I want to add an LS3 to also.
Would you be willing to share your wheels size and backspacing? I own a 70 and in the market for wheels. Full van steel suspension building into a Pro-Touring. That would be much appreciated.
The tails need infinity rings
May I ask what wheels/tires set you got on ?
Are you ready to sell it?
Perfect
How much the swap run?
What wheels? I need those for mine.
How much did it cost to build it like that. Great resto mod. And still looks stock which is nice
NEVER SEEN RAIN! ;)
@Calden83 What tire set up is that? I have an '82 C3 that i am currently working on and this is almost exactly what i want to do to mine!
Tire size was listed on bat listing a while back same as the wheels
I would also like to know the setup. Where is bat? I'm a new c3 owner. Thx
I am blown away that this car has not sold yet. Actually seems underpriced.
Still for sale?
I wanted to know what wheel and tires does the car have and where did you get the air intake box?
Bat listing has tire size. Wheels are 18x10 cosmis xt005
Vararam gto instake
@Calden83 thanks I haven't seen it that nice.
@@brandonreeh1637 it was listed back in April..... may have to scroll through older auctions
Would you sell it?
I can't find this car on BAT, did it already sell??
yes
Did Miamiboy76 back out?
Ultimately yes he did
That’s too bad, his loss. Probably one of my favorite C3’s out there, wish it were closer to AZ:/
@@Calden83 is car still available? Im in ill, dan. Let me know thx. And number you want. I thought it was sold. Thx
@@SuperBoss351 yes it's sold
Yeah it’s a nice car and all that but it’s no GMC Typhoon/Syclone.
How much did it sell for
39k
@Calden what color is that?
03-04 c5 color medium spiral grey metallic
@@Calden83 nicely done! You have awesome videos. What type of motor is that? LS3? I'm researching motors to get. Open to your suggestions
I watched paint dry before. And probably will again.
I would never drive it in the rain! 😢
Cars are meant to be driven that's the whole fun of it
Hey that's what I said haha
What's the price of the car?
It's sold
What is that blinking shit under the hood?
Lots of money spent!😮
I'd love to see a c4 with that motor 😮
You will surprise lots thinking your car is just a normal car it’s a sleeper…
Beautiful vette but id kept the engine old skool.. modern intake looks shit under there
You're welcome to ls swap a c3 and try to make one that looks better and keeps hot air away.
You arent interested in fuel economy?
@@jeffspicolli593 NOPE
How much you pay total for the swap?
