Regular Car Reviews: 1977 Chevrolet Corvette C3 Restomod

Owned by my good friend Neal. Yes, The Real Neal. This is a longer video because Neal has lots of good explanations for why the C3 are the way they are. You'll like this one!

I've always loved the C3 body style. I'm old enough to have remembered when they were on the road normally. The C4 seemed like they took the curves of the C3 and flattened them out. I was not happy. It was like dating a girl with big boobs only to come home one day and find that she had a breast reduction, not because she needed it, but because she thought big boobs were ugly.

Your pronunciation of the Word Radiator makes me uncomfortable

There was a good time spent on the technical details, and the various upgrades made to the car to satisfy the 'gearheads', but what I enjoyed the most is, how well the youngish presenter described the essence of the seventies at the end. From someone who didn't live then, that was awesomely well done, and I say it as an old geezer, who was a young adult at the time. Keep up this fantastically good work, and keep up this one-of-a-kind eclectic approach!

Oh my god, that ending rap was perfect, Roman.

The C3 is the most beautiful generation of Corvette

Considering what this car was when he started and the amount of work it took to get it to where it is now, I have massive respect for The Real Neal.

common issue, the interior door mechanisms get really tough with age, if you go through and lubricate the various joints/springs again, it'll pop open pretty easily, without needing to use your thumb at all

c3 is my favorite corvette, hips dont lie

[forterierocks]

My dad owns 2 C3's an original 74 454 TH400 car numbers matching fun car and a 75 L82 350 stick car, engine is now 355 has cam, heads, long tubes, no cats and is around 400-425hp and an absolute blast. I just purchased my first Vette an 81 L48 auto minus the L48 and trans, I will be putting a 5.7L and trans from a wrecked IROC Camaro into it over the winter hopefully it will be a decent toy to drive around.

As usual another great commentary. So true. We drove across America in the summer of 1977 in a black trans am. Before the smokey and bandit movie came out. No joke. I remember how the fleet wood mac rumors album was played on every station coast to coast. God I loved that album. And couldn't wait to hear the same songs over and over. I remember the older kids around 17 and I thought they were so adult and cool with their long hair and bell bottoms. They also seemed reckless and fearless. I was seven.

You can open that door by leaving the window open and reaching for the handle on the inside.

I always liked these with the flat glass rear window, it just goes to show with a little work in better brakes, better suspension, and a free breathing engine that's not strangled by 70's smog and oil crisis. It makes a good machine!
