    I have a 73 coupe. Sat 25 years in a very dry New Jersey garage. Love my car. Drove it 50 miles yesterday.

    I got a 68 coupe in about the same shape. Just got done replacing almost everything that wasn’t working to get her running. Still isn’t 100% but a numbers matching mostly original work in progress with no frame or birdcage rust is good enough for me.

    In 2001, I bought a '75 basket case in much worse shape. I rebuilt and put the crappy L-48 in a 32' boat. I'm holding my breath for a 427. I don't care about numbers matching or anything other than making it what it should have been.

    Hoods on the c3 are known to not want to pop. My 1974 corvette refused to pop for years but one day it decided to love me again

    I had a gold 73 Corvette with a higher compression 350 and black leather. I am looking forward to your future videos.

    Your corvette looks a lot better than mine did after I got mine after it was also sitting for 20 years haha.
    Very cool to watch quick progress happen as compared to me where progress was slow because I was still learning about carburetors :)

    I have a 1977 Corvette that I had sent's new I am the only owner of this car and I am related to Louie Chevrolet and that Corvette is a 1973 and I hope you checked the birdcage on that Corvette they do rust and if you ever see that the car is no good it will coast money to fix the car and most people will never do it

    FYI… It’s not fiberglass. 1972 was the last year Corvettes were make of fiberglass. Starting in 1973 they have been make of SMC (Sheet Molded Compound).

    First thing you do is pull that anchor of a 350 ci 190 hp engine and put an LS3 in it.

      Does it take balls or guts to disclose a price? What does it matter what we paid for it over 2 years ago? Markets change my friend. Thanks for watching!

      Not at all. Tuned correctly, they’d run better than Holleys.
