Nota Robot..... I've had my Corvette four year before you were born. 25 years now.

Ringo Gingo dang! That’s 5 years older than me, hows it holding up?

Nota Robot....Better hurry the price is going up

@@db4695 .... It's in great shape , from TX and I've only driven it 3000 miles in 25 years, ggg. I just installed new leather seat covers , see my video.

@@goodboyringo9716 what's your opinion on the new C8? Can't stand them compared to the 1970s stingray.

Is it a convertible? Does it have a lot less horsepower?

74 is gorgeous as well.

I see that guy driving around all the time down on the peninsula nice car

Buy one with a four speed, solve your problem. How bout that.

@@truebetold65 I did. No problem.

@@dojmike 🍪

@@dojmike rate the C2 with an automatic on this thread. Dip stick.

How many other cars have you rated?

I respectfully disagree. To me the 1967-9 Manta Ray looks like a corny attempt at making a superhero car. This 1970 stringray however, is a high-tide watermark of American automotive design ... at its perfection. It’s breathtakingly beautiful. 👏 😢

@@nigelpickering5433 Let.me first say that I truly love all the years and variations of the Corvette. I imaging that I chose the 67 Manta ray because of my childhood desire to own one, I used to have an HO slot car track & collected many cars to use on my track, for some reason the Manta Ray just clicked & I loved it, another few of my favorites are a 63 split window, a 67, a 69 with an aluminum L88 and the 1960 model.... and especially the 1970 Mako Shark, if I had my way, I'd own a 70 Mako Shark before the Manta Ray or any of the others, the 63 split window coupe would be a very close second though! 😁 What can I say, I love all of them (with the possible exception of the 74-75 style corvettes where the drastically changed the rear portion of the car & replaced the classic lines of the late 60s- early 70s rear side with fixed, metal/ chromed bumpers and swapped them out with a rubber/plastic rear portion of the car that incorporated the new rubber bumper with the car body.... I'm truly sorry but I hated that, it killed the whole stylish look of the car! 🤔 Either way, to each his own.... Everybody has their own distinct preferences of the Corvette stylings! 👍

@@davidc3857 Thanks for your reply. I really appreciate you taking my comments in the tone they were meant, that is, with respect. I can see from your very informed comments that you are very passionate about these cars and know a great deal, so thanks for sharing that understanding. They are all truly works of art, but as you say, each to their own in terms of a preference. Just for the record I am English, and nowhere near as knowledgable as you. I've only ever seen a couple in real life a1970 and 1972 models. However, let me tell you it was 1978 when Matchbox cars produced a Corvette, I was 7 years old, and immediately I fell in love. I couldn't believe such a stylish car with those curves existed. I have to say in terms of all cars from the height of Americana, the Covette is head and shoulders the best design. I love the muscles and pony cars but this sports car for me is the true high point of what America had to offer when it produced works of art for the masses. Perhaps its magic is only second to Jaguar XKE (E-type) series 1. Its unlikely that i will ever be able to own or drive either, but communicating with informed gentlemen as yourself makes that childhood dream of knowing them just a little closer to reality.

@@nigelpickering5433 Bravo my friend, you indeed are a connoisseur of fine automobiles! We both share an immense passion and deep love for these magnificent moving works of pure art! I share your passion about the Jag too, what a magnificent beast that was, and the lines of it's body were sheer poetry in motion. Ahhh, it's wonderful to see someone who's as passionate about this art as I am. For what it's worth, I have a deep appreciation for many different types, makes & models of fine automobiles. I have a thing for Aston Martin's, love them, I idolize the DBX,DBS, DB11, and good grief, don't get me started about the Vantage! 💕 When I was a young boy back in 1965 the International Automobile Exposition was in town & they had a segment they brought you into an arena which they had the actual Aston Martin DB5 which appeared in the James Bond film Goldfinger! What a thrill that was! They drove the car in the small stadium where we watched them put that car through all of the trick functions that they used in the movie, afterwards we were allowed to view the car up close..... What a thrill of a lifetime for a young boy who idealized the car, James Bond movies and especially Sir Sean Connery. Unfortunately Mr Connery wasn't there but that car gave me butterflies in my stomach! That was 56 years ago, I remember that day like it was embedded in my memory! I feel the same way you do it it's highly unlikely I'll ever have enough money to spend in beautiful, iconic works of art like these that were talking about but I have a KZfaq folder where there are some of these fine automobiles up for sale and I constantly add to this folder & view it frequently.... L With some luck, maybe someday I'll be able to purchase one or more of these magnificent automobiles... This goes for you too, keep your dream alive! After all, you never know? 😁 I play the lottery so I can dream about this.... Like I said you never know! If I ever hit that jackpot I'll hunt you down, put you on a plane & well attend a high end automobile auction & I'll purchase the Corvette you like so much for you & have it shipped also... My compensation in this situation would be your expression and the look of sheer delight on your face! Keep the faith my friend, you never know what the future may bring! 👍 Have a most wonderful day, thanks for your insightful & thoughtful views! Consider me a friend we have a lot of the same type of passion for these fine works of functioning art! 😎

Both are absolutely gorgeous. Great taste.

Strike year was 1969.

@@thud9797 no it wasnt

@@sarahdanette The big UAW strike was April into June of 69 and obviously looked to decimate 1969 production. But with the strike ended and the orders piled up, Chevrolet announced that every 1969 car ordered would be built and they lived up to it, with 1969 production extending into December of 69. This is what caused 1970 production to start late and be one of the shortest and lowest production model years ever.

@@thud9797 I have my mother’s one owner 1970 C3 Corvette. I am in the process of restoring it now.

Why you driving it in the rain.😁

Lance Vette - they are all listed on the dealer website.

Up through 75 all automatics were the Turbo 400. For 76 and 77 the L48 got the Turbo 350 and the L82 got the Turbo 400. For 78 through 81 all had the Turbo 350 with 80 and 81 having a locking torque converter.

Me too....that vacuum system they did sucked

Nope, there is no better looking convertible out there :-)

Jovan Bethel It really depends on what condition the one you will purchase is in! Try and find one that the owner took meticulous care of, fixed all of the issues and check everywhere for rust, just to give yourself the best investment and to allow for the most use on nice sunny days!

@@lonestarcollectiblezcom2602 I appreciate that heads up brutha

hot wheels ?

Oh yeah? What year?

Greg Kobylarz Correct no black from 1970 - 1976

randy jones Use more spaces please.

@@devonlemon5636 and a few more dots. Yea I'm sure he wouldn't kick the car out of his garage.

He's holding a camera. This seller is a dealership. So not really familiar with the car
