I know this an older vid, but thanks for making it. Really explains a lot and shows how to spruce up and get working non working things on a budget. Best wishes!
I really enjoy your videos. You are so patient and are so willing to take on the many challenges that arise with any old car. Watched all the videos on you Caddy and I wish I had your knowledge and capabilities. Great job!
Hey Ben. I grew up north of Denver and moved to NYC to go to college. Well that was 28 years ago. I haven’t owned a car since. Been thinking of finally getting out of here for the first time and moving back west. Just had a funny thought of me driving a 70s vette. Even in the 80s when I started driving this year vette would have been vintage. Anyhow. Keep up the content. Good job.
Keep up the good work Ben! You and your channel are the best. Sooner are later I’m going to buy one of these from you not only because I love them, but just because I love the care in what you do to make them right is very impressive! So I’m all in to pay for one of these from you and I live right here in Houston and I will most definitely trust one of yours to get me home. Thanks!💯✅
@@jeremysmith8990 … “man I wish I could afford to buy one of these cars from you!” Well, nowhere he said; out of everything in the world! Wow, he just wishes he could afford to buy a corvette from this guy… but that’s only if you cared to read and understand the entire sentence, and language. You must have learned a lot from watching fake news, by picking WORDS from sentences and turning it into something that wasn’t said. Where’s the part, “FROM YOU?” Meaning that he wishes he could afford to buy something from ONE SPECIFIC PERSON. It doesn’t mean THE ONLY WISH in the world. Unreal.
@ 07:05 you say it is cold ... what, the heater doesn't work? Just kidding Ben, you did a great job resurrecting this Corvette from it prior 'Hack' owner.
New to your videos and your channel and I just stumbled onto this video by accident really. I gotta say, I've never been a classic Corvette fan - I never liked them but, I didn't dislike them either. Just never really caught my eye *_BUT._* I will say that this particular one hooked me right in. I had myself a regular _'Christine'_ moment, soon as I saw it. You knocked it out of the park, man. I imagine this thing as a natural "chick magnet". You breathed new life into this car and I love the end result. I love it *_ALL_* - the black and red exterior/interior, the wing, the pipes, the motor, the rims. You outdid yourself. I don't know what it was about this particular car but, it caught my eye the way no other 'Vette has done. This thing looked *_AWESOME._* Great job man. Too bad you couldn't keep it to keep fine tuning it and all. I envy the person who bought it. I hope they appreciated the hard work you put into it and the massive potential this car had. Again, awesome upload here. Nod in your direction...
Just like you say, a reliable daily driver that can be actually used and enjoyed. That interior really does look great. Black is a tough color for sure, every imperfection will show up, regardless of paint quality. Hope it finds a good home...
If you still have the car check where the speedometer cable mounts to the trans the gear inside my be bad or it's mounted off center you may just need to rotate it so the gears engage.
Ben nice job on the 9 videos for the 1977. You make it easy to understand. Thanks! I have been working on a 1977 car that was poorly painted and was poorly maintained.
TheCorvetteBen I’ve always loved crager rims and I love black corvettes. The red interior is also nice. Side pipes look nice and I’m torn on the rear spoiler. It’s just a really nice combination in my opinion. I would not have said this when you first got it lol. You have definitely done a lot of good work on it and really made it a nice car.
Yes a decently priced corvette not sure what state your in but in Washington state it’s a good price. It’s too bad it isn’t a 4 sp car but in 77 it kinda rare for a 3 sp automatic if it’s a original transmission anyway and not a 700r4 but ill regardless it’s reasonably priced. The side pipes alone brand new are $1,200 dollars
Ben, I know this is an old video, but I am rewatching some as I am starting to work on my fathers (original owner) 80 C3. My question is, I want to re-dye the seats the same color they are. Does the dye you used come off on your skin or clothes?
ben on the 77 vette here where did you find the flasher and main part of the car alarm.is itbehind the pass panel in front of them? i was told in the jack compartment. but it is not there
I see 1 thing you should do, that pad ont the bottom of the hood. And man, the red interior in a black car looks awsome, never seen that combo before. Love it
Thanks for the inspiration !!! Always great educational Videos / I have a 74 C3 do you have and experience putting on a front clip... I m having issues installing mine.. it seems to not lining well up by the triangle points by the windshield
My 80 Vette steering column is lacking some paint. What sort of prep and paint did you use? My headlights are as slow as the black Vette you sold. And my mechanic rose them from the dead. What could be the problem? You said they still need work? BTW nice rework. I'm a fan and subbed.
With 49,213 production models made for '77, this car was super popular back in that era (and the color 'black' was once again offered...the first time since it disappeared after 1969). Of course anything '78 (from Silver anniversary model to Pace cars are sweet because of the new rear window, and upgraded interior). Once 1979 hit, folks were thinking they'll buy a Vette, flip it and make a fast dollar (henceforth the highest production models of 53,807...in all of Corvettes' 65 years). That said, the beloved entry level fourth generation 1984 Corvette sold a whopping 51,547 units (okay, '84 isn't 'beloved' today, but the magic number for all C4's sold is approximately 358,180). No your car⬆ isn't perfect, but where it was to where you took it speaks volumes, another job well done Ben! Almost forgot, looking forward to the '80 being brought back too.
Hi, my name is John. I had a 1964 Corvette that I really loved. I had a real blast owning this car back in 1971. Just thought I would mention to you I had electric headlights that opened and closed. I had no trouble with them and I was thought I would let you know an option was to put in electric lights
Whats the deal with the A/C? I noticed the belt missing. The A/C is super simple, you could easily fix it, if there is something wrong with it. You did a nice job... looks way better, and I like the side pipes. It was common for owners to install them in the 70's and early 80's. Very period correct car with the wheels, pipes and engine chrome!
I agree it's pretty simple from 77 and later when it went to an orifice tube/accumulator setup but I'd say not too easy to get to parts. That evap isn't cheap either if it leaks.
My 69 had original sidepipes but were illegal in my state and were to noisy, i put stock duo exhaust replacement. it was a 69 4 sp big block the car was a beast!
Everyones got different opinions the aluminum edelbrock valve covers and cleaner are a lot more $$ and are a lot less likely to leak than the stamped chinese chrome stuff he replaced it with but as a guys whos had both what do I know.. The engine sounds like it has a miss to me but it could just be the video.
I seen this car in Craigslist a week ago and some others, I would love to get one tbh but for now I’m going to save up to buy one hopefully by next year
I have a Corvette C3 82 and owners doesn’t run for four years what is the first step so I wanna try to start it up but I need to move the piston and I don’t know where
Since you work on more Corvettes then Cadillacs you should change your UA-cam name to, TheCorvetteBen I just read your Craigslist ad, I'm curious what do you mean by American Classic 1978 and down??
@@speeddaddy9209 thx, the c5 could use a couple hood scoops too for air circulation, in Arizona... especially now the low temps.,.. are in 90's,... with highs second to the sun...lol
Dude where do you find these corvette to work on? Before you even finish one project, you’ve got another one just waiting! I’ve been looking for one in similar condition, when you first get them, to work on. All the ones I’ve run across in that condition people want like $7k to $10k, which is what you are selling them for after you put a ton of work in them. I’m assuming you have to be paying $3k to $5k for the project cars so you can at least make a little money for you time and parts. But all the ones that I can find in that price range look like they have been rolled off a cliff.
I usually use CL, facebook, and ebay. I usually price mine fairly in my opinion, because the longer they sit for sale, the less time I have money to put in another one. I usually will cut someone a good deal on order to get the car sent down the line. I COULD have started at 12k or something like that and waited a long time for it, but the faster the better. I think you need to buy one of mine when I get done with one.
@@TheCorvetteBen wow 9k I have a 79 L82 I only want 6500 for and it runs better then that one with real good paint and interior. Who the hell is buying these things? Mine been on the market for a week and not 1 hit yet
I just acquired an 82, the car looks beautiful, he removed a lot of stock equipment and added a lot of new parts. I’m working on wiring now, the fuse block was replaced but there’s no clear input for the power. He ran a 10g supply to the radio fuse but the wire is to big for the block. How do i wire this new block that doesn’t have a clear supply spot and what gauge wire do i use?
And yet another C3 gets ready to relaunch into the harsh world of owners who don't know how to maintain 'em. Nevertheless, great job Ben! Now for the Corvette after the white one, can you do something a bit different? Another big block Vette, or another stick shift Vette, where you try to make that shifter less balky, as a commenter said he did. Possibly a late C4 or maybe even a C5!
I have an 85 c4 vette in the works. Not really into C5s. The only ones in my budget are the salvage title/high mile ones. Those usually aren't worth my time. Plus, have you looked up parts for c5s? $$$$
TheCorvetteBen Excellent point. With the 3M polyurethane fenders like the Camaros/Firebirds of the same era, I'm with you 100%. That said, the LS1 was a really good engine. What I never understood is if the C4 saved Corvette's behind from extinction, the C5 was a generation worth forgetting with the exception of the Z06. But all C4's are great cars to me. And honestly anything in a C3 is worth saving too. Looking forward to your 1980 resurrection. Sure loved the front/rear ends on this 'freshened' C3.
i own a 74 C3 ive replaced the door seals ,t-top seals window seals..and every other seal known to god..and every time it rains,(which is all the time in the uk) there is a puddle on the floor drivers side..all the seals were fitted correctly using 3M sealant..is it possible to get these cars water tight?
+crusty ringpimple water comes in usually due to the metal trim on the windshield frame and a firewall that no longer seals. Weatherstripping is only part of that
Depends what it needs? interior, outside work, engine and drive train ok? Mine was a total restoration other then drivetrain and have about 12000 in it.
Hi there i just got a 79 need some parts like the. A/c heater control switch and the tach is not workin a wiper switch may be a light switch if you like to sell some
Hmmm, mine I had to transfer from my original door panel which was shot to a used replacement. I tried double stick foam tape and hot melt glue, both failed. Maybe I should scuff up the surfaces more... thanks for the replies.
I agree to de-bubba the car the side pipes need to go. And that spoiler is cancer. Otherwise I really liked the black with red interior. I used to overlook these cars but they are really growing on me. Seems to look better and better the older they get.
Love the car Ben, I was wondering what it costs to ship to Ontario? Also just a thought, have you considered doing a 76, 77, or 78 Trans Am build. They are very popular especially if they are the black and gold Bandit look.
+Steven Park shipping shouldn't be too bad but Texas is a far state from Canada. I got a car no running from New Jersey to Texas for $600 a few years ago
I have an 81 what a Custom 78 L82 nose on it but you have they have the same shitbox 350 low compression Motors what they're 5 bolt mains and if maintained they have no power but they run forever so that's the major plus whatever anybody says about the Chevy's the forever motor I got my car as a total wreck but fortunately the motor is pretty damn tight
I know this an older vid, but thanks for making it. Really explains a lot and shows how to spruce up and get working non working things on a budget. Best wishes!

It's my dream car, excellent, ben
That's a fair price Ben it's a very nice car...
You did a fine job.
Very nice job! Love the side pipes but hate the wing! So tempting.
Its the best colors for 77. Looks great!
The black steering wheel matches the body color. Looks better than the wood one I've seen.
That 77 only wiper switch looks so much like the chevette one .
I just noticed that Chopstick has the Texas star on his chest! Hahaha!
Nice job on the car Ben, truly night and day from when you got it to now!
Drop dead gorgeous Corvette..
Am down in New Zealand and just bought my first Corvette, 89 C4, and have found your vids really helpful. So a big thanks mate from NZ!
Wish I had 9500 it looks good I'll be on my way right now to get it
Good Job

love the videos . always looking forward to the next c3 project
As expected turned out well. Always loved the c3 . I have got to finish mine after sitting in storage for 25 years . Started right up .
That's a great price. Especially from you Ben. Because I know you really care and take your time to make sure things are fixed right the first time.
Looks a lot better than it did when you first got it. Love those C3s.
Turned out great! Love the wheels. Hope you get a good buyer. Next you should do another c4 project. Maybe a 4+3 car.

Love these videos from all you work. Amazing!
Why does your engine sounds like a Volkswagen air cooled flat 4?? Is that the mechanics lifters?
Can you really judge the sound of an engine through a recording on computer speakers? No
What kind of rear spoiler/ wing is that?

1980 and down means nothing newer than 1980.

Do the chickens come with the car? Asking for a friend
I love the wing it does not have a trunk so what's the problem
Hi Ben, I never have seen that wing spoiler before...I think a close version of that would really customize a c5 coupe,...so who makes it?
The wing is styled after the Greenwood racing car wings. Might be by ASC also. We have both the twin turbo scooped hood & whale tail wing on ours.

Great job Ben!!!
I'd pay that! Great job!
I know this might sound rude but if I was to start a project like this how much would I be looking on spending
Depends on how perfect you want to make the car.
Depends what it needs? interior, outside work, engine and drive train ok? Mine was a total restoration other then drivetrain and have about 12000 in it.
Came out great!

under hood blanket should of been replaced... it would of made it look cleaner.
Ben, how did you get those arm rest covers to stick onto the door panel?
Double stick tape
The ones I had came with two sided tape and stuck and worked fine
Hmmm, mine I had to transfer from my original door panel which was shot to a used replacement. I tried double stick foam tape and hot melt glue, both failed. Maybe I should scuff up the surfaces more... thanks for the replies.

+John Mollicone $9500.
Are those oe wheels?
Where did you buy the rear spoiler?
It obviously came on the car. At no point did you see him install that.
Can you tell me how to fixed my 76 heat lights please
I have an 81 what a Custom 78 L82 nose on it but you have they have the same shitbox 350 low compression Motors what they're 5 bolt mains and if maintained they have no power but they run forever so that's the major plus whatever anybody says about the Chevy's the forever motor I got my car as a total wreck but fortunately the motor is pretty damn tight
That’s a 10k car all day. I paid 9800 for one that needed a lil more work than yours. And as far as I’m concerned quality repairs on your part
+Jeremy Galiher I'm glad you think highly of the repairs!
