After sitting in one of these This feels like a trip down memory lane

Last of the classic Cor vets for a while, What a wonderful sight when you open the hood and all you see is Chrome valve cover. That screams big block very loud, What a beautiful black C 3 Corvette1😍😍😍

A lot of people say red is the color for a C3, but I've always been partial to this black. Shes a heartbreaker.

Beautiful Corvette, thanks for sharing.

Beautiful car,great combination of engine color and everything ! I am proud of my 71 same car convertible in orange!

Whoever painted your car made it look real and nice cant imagine the hours involved is it an old refinish was it back in the day of base coat lacquer and clear that was out 30 years ago

3:04 What kind of antiques shop casually has a MiG-17 parked outside?

The '73 stingray is my most favorite.

Brings back memories. I had a 72 454 coupe back in the day.

Looks great and sounds tough. Makes me miss my 1973 c3. Fully restored motor, transmission and body off restoration hunter green paint with saddle tan interior cost me $14,000 in 1997. Wish I could add a picture in comments. Gave it away for $8500 in 2004 to pay for honeymoon. Black is my favorite also which is the color of my latest restoration of my 1979 c3 with 454 swap project I am in the middle of now. I plan to put a 1973 front nose clip on to remind me of my old 1973 long gone many years ago.

AWESOME!!! i like this car,cool car sound and engine

that is my dream car!

Gotta love it, I'm building one rn, engine was blown and not original, not much on the car was, so when opportunity presented itself and a cheap marine 502 showed up, I got it. The dilemma now is that I got a hilborn style aluminum good scoop, aluminum high rise, high comp, high flow heads, a roller cam, roller rockers, headers, and a giant bill. Spent more on the engine than the car, but anyway, I'm not sure what to do about my bumper and headlight situation. I've got the flip out headlights removed from the front, which is itself removed from the car, and I want to keep them out for airflow and cooling purposes. As far as the bumper is concerned, I'm not so sure about the longer soft bumper with the hood scoop, i haven't put it together yet because I need to do some repair work on the front clip, but I have the idea in my head that it's gonna look a little goofy, where as the shorter snout won't. Yours is beautiful though, even if that wafer air filter negates the effects on the high rise can and higher cfm carburetor a bit, it at least saves you the indecision in the long run.

The C3 looks so much better than the C8

Me and my dad might get a 76 C3 and it is black with t tops we will have to restore it but my dad is going to rebuild the 454 engine for it if we get it

Nice C3... Have the same one but the 1980 model with a 1972 modified 454 bigblock and a 6 speed manual gear box.

Sounds great you can’t be classics. Thumbs up.

piękny, i ten dźwięk pozdrawiam :)

Real beauty and great sound!! but get that tach working!!😁

My black 73 has flared fenders. 1969 L46 that's built to Lt1 power. With tremec 5 spd.

I forgot that the big block engine was even available in '73... my '73 had the 250 hp 350 small block. But the 454 only had 25 more hp, at 275hp, but much more torque. There were 30,464 Corvettes produced in 1973... 4,412 were 454 option. It was also the First year of the "Z07" option the "Off Road Suspension" (track pak) on 45 Corvettes... but only available on the 350 Engines. Somewhat surprised this car does not have the chrome Side-Pipes... a Very Popular option, especially on the big engine... But Yes, the Tuxedo Black is a Gorgeous color on these wonderful cars..! I also like the dark blue, similar to the original "Mako Shark" show cars...

Iv'e got a 1982 C3. took the 350 out and replacing it with a 454 i took from a 1976 225 Electra. got my BBC In the machine shop being rebuilt and bored over 3 points. going twin turbos with Edelbrock race cam kit and overhead. also doing rear end, transmission, and front and rear suspension. good thing i know ppl or this whole project would cost me a fortune. i just wanna see the dyno test in range of 800 plus hp. i only have a budge of 12 grand so i'm praying i can make it happen with that.

Mean machine!

Gorgeous

Dream car

Purrs like a panther 😍

When you cranked up your corvette, did you hold the brake and clutch or just the brake???

@3:14 I love how the mechial tach doesn't work... probably snapped off like they do. My 1973 what far my options than this works perfectly as does the center clock. Cheers

Is that a mig 15 on the road side in US ?? Beautiful big block C3 by the way😊

A beautiful car, but I can't shake the fact that the owner sounds like the accountant from GhostBusters...

Nice

I just came!

any guy would trade in a heartbeat, lol

The mighty 454 wasn't quite so mighty by 73 at 275 HP. But still a capable beast.

How come the tach don't work? Nice sound though

Need to fix that tachometer otherwise beautiful Vette...My favorite body style.

time to get those exhaust leaks fixed

I feel my jeans are starting to get a little tighter😂

What camera was this shot with ?

Nice car, so what is the origin of Sams Space 81? is that the year you graduated high school or the address of your bussiness there or something?

is that rail thing on the back for your sandwiches ime confused lol the only thing ime mad about is that it does not come with the free woman option or is that monthly installments lol

This would be a win if it was a manual.

she's beautiful looks like she would break a man's heart damm.

How is the 454 causing rde ability

We can still tell the plate chief

1973 was the last year of good looking C3 Vettes IMHO, for the 74 model they added that ugly separated taillight panel and made the front look odd by removing a section of the grille. I don't think they started looking good again until the C5 came out , and the C6 was , er, meh

😍

What actually does a big block mean??? My understanding is that it doesn't relate to engine capacity. I think these Corvette are the best looking car even in 2020.

dear lord

daw its an automatic

Japanese rice wagons will never reach the badass level of american classics. I own a classic Cadillac myself, its big and beautiful.

Sweeeeeet! Can his fix the the tach?

RPM tach don't work?

Who's here after the dad's gift video?

Trent,

Chevy never made a black C3. Bloody shame. Badass color and a 454 to boot. But automatic? Pff.
