Matt, that is one of the most badass cars you've ever put on here... probably my favorite. That thing just drags its massive nuts around wherever it goes. Bad fucking ride, dude.

Cliche incoming: They don't build em like this anymore! That car looks amazing, especially with those wide-body fender flares!

God those down shifts are fuckin brutal

This company has a great reputation too, nice to see them getting a small spotlight for a crowd that normally might have not heard of them.

What a TREMENDOUS and GREAT car for a HUGE and GREAT day, damn it feels good to be an American.

i love the plaque in the center console HP : A lot TQ : A whole lot i love those little touches

My fav Corvette, C3. Just drips badass.

The C3 is the most beautiful Corvette of them all. Especially with the later rear bumper and a rack for the targa roof.

That gearing must be tons of fun with that kind of power in something that handles so well. Would rather this than a 200mph top speed.

Those down shifts 🔥

I instantly grew a handlebar mustache the moment you turned it over. Fuckin' sweet car.

this is one of the most badass car I have seen in a long ass time

The most beautiful Corvettes 68-72. C4 to C8 cannot keep away from its timeless design.

Love the whine from the trans, wish all manuals sounded like that!

The amount of content you are putting up lately is amazing! Thank you for all the hard work Matt!

my dad has a 76 stingray... small block but still a lot of fun to drive with the T-Top off.. that IRS sounds like a nice gift for him once it hits market.. Ill be checking out Detroit Speed in the near future.. Great vid Matt! this one hits close to home :)

@TheSmokingTire, as far as squeaks and rattles go, there's no way you could hear them over the exhaust anyway. And there's NO reason to dial back that cacophony of wonderfulness. Keep up the great vids!

my favorite part about the car is the maniacal giggles it gives Matt. you're never at a loss for words, but this car was cracking you up!

That car is my dream. My stock c3 drives like a boat. I need to get that suspension kit asap.

OMG, Matt's laughter in this video made my day!

The C3 hot rod is great old school muscle. You feel every bump.

Favorite video so far, Matt! Especially since it's from Mooresville, NC! That car is an absolute monster!

The LS3 sounds unreal in this corvette

It looks (and sounds) like Detroit Speed and Engineering is doing their part in *Making America Great Again*. >:)

I love C3 vetts. And this is a particularly lovable one!

Wow! Wow! That Corvette is sweet. It's the complete package. Matt wants this car. I can see it in his eyes.

Those lines, timeless, iconic. I could stare at it all day.

i like the change of scenery

I absolutely love the interior from the 70's era. I'm not sure why.

Just picked up 72 and 69 conv...and yes going with the Dse package on both I have been waiting for great parts to be made for these C3 and know we got them. Thanks DSE

315's in the front Jeez

1k plus likes, 11 dislikes Total win.. That car is a total fucking win!

Damn, that sound is nuts! What an awesome build!

Dude I watched this TWICE...and will be back for More!

Matt jus having fun and slappin gearz....what a life BROTHER!!!

Hey Matt,I've been watching you for years and have been subbed for quite a while. I always LIKE, but never get around to commenting here very often... just had to on this one. As many great cars as you drive, I really love it when you get into one like this and it makes you light up like a kid at Christmas! So cool to see a true car guy get excited about a car. This '72 sounds great and you've gotta listen to this "sumbitch" with proper headphones to truly enjoy it. Take care brother and keep doin' what you do!

Love the classic hot rod sound this thing makes. Can't get enough of that sound...

Awsome onetake!! I love c3's. I have an 81 i plan on modding for autocross as well, i still need a lot of time and money..but i'll get there

detroit speed one of the best companies out there

My god, that this is a beast.

Beast Mode ON.

Looks like your friend gets on the chew pretty heavily there Matt. Such a chunky car - love it!

T-top stingray...so many memory’s of some truly GREAT times! Another car I should've never sold.

I drove one comp 'Vette having spent most of my driving life in sports cars. It was a wild afternoon.

This would be one hell of a "escape from the city" car.

Matt's maniac laugh is just, priceless! Nice video!

Sounds brutal! Reminds me of the Greenwood racing corvettes

I saw this at the Good Guys event in Charlotte back in October Saturday the 22nd...he was tearing up the autoX course! ha, Matt here in North Cackalackey. :Thumbs up:

Very beautiful car, loved it as a kid!

those fender flares looks amazing, not the riveted shit you see more often

The dudes face rolling past at 1:59 says everything.

Beautiful car, but can't help but think how much COOLER it would be if were built more along the lines of a Singer Porsche-All of the performance with a little more of a vintage flavor (period style wheels, etc...)

So i had a real bastard of a day at work then i watch this and cant get the shit eating grin off my face. Nice video as always man

Oh Matt, I can't believe you thought the flares were done out of metal- I had such a chuckle because you own a 'Vette and you would also know they are ALL fiberglass. That would be quiet an effort attaching those metal flares to the plastic body! LOL!!! Sick car, I love DS- have followed them for 6 years or so 'cause I've got mates that worked in the design and engineering dept at Holden, which gave an insight to their own work and designs they put out having learnt and sharpened their skill set at Chev's engineering dept

It looked like it was fun and sounded like it was a blast to drive!

I think I’m in love! 😍 What a beautiful car !

I love the plaque around the shift, HP: A LOT | TQ: A WHOLE LOT. I could see this car being shipped over seas & while driving it around Asia or Europe, the windows are rolled down and the theme song for Team America is just blasting out of the speakers. Of course, you'd have to put speakers and a sound system in it.

When you upgraded the shitty suspension and engine, C3 vett's are bad ass car's.

one of the rare times you're pulling back into the lot and I'm like what? it's over already! you need to drive that car again and wring it out, seems like the car was just getting warmed up.

I like the 3" flare on both front and back...looks more balanced than putting 4" on back and 3" on front

the downshifts are spectacular

It'd be a dream come true to have a full dse suspension on my chevelle and Camaro....Matt!! I want you to do a one take on my chevelle when it's done. 🙏🏼

Great job. Insane car

Wow! Amazing build. A go fast car for sure!

3:14 Realizes how frickin' sweet the car is.. drops the shades.

this is probably one of my all time favorites, since playing gran turismo 1 lol.

Great episode. 👍

I love the look of the C3.

dear god. so much freedom.

Those downshifts are fucking nasty. Love it.

the sound of that Vette is music to the ears :)

A beautiful BEAST!!! BRAVISSIMO!!!

That is awesome. My favourite is still the 68-69 body style.

Creaky or rattles? Shit, you'd never hear them :-) I fucking *love* that exhaust note.

Wow, this is fantastic.

One take, all torque. C3 dream. :)

Who cares if we cant hear you Matt!! THAT SOUND!! OMG!! :D

Matt imagine whipping it up the snake or Angeles crest highway she's a beast!

When he was shifting in the video it sounded exactly like I was watching days of thunder. That shit shifts minnnnnnnnttttt Friburger

The thumbnail looks like it's from a videogame. I don't know why though. Also, my favourite Corvette!

Holy shit that thing is amazing.

love this

DSE can make anything fast. Those boys rock.

I really wanted to hear this thing hitting redline omg such a tease

Awesome car!

As Thatguyinblue would say "smiles per gallon". Sounds awesome

wow this car is awesome!

Why is the steering moved to left???..... just for clearence under the hood?

0:51 Shifter base plate "HP: A LOT | TQ: A WHOLE LOT" lol

Want to see more of this vette's mods and customer cars.

Man that's real true pure Americana.

I would like to add something to my last comment. When I said that I could build one of these for a lot less than Detroit Speed, I was not implying that this is not a great build or that I could do so with all the modern tech. that Detroit Speed has used on this car. I would take a budget approach and use only restorable vintage parts and do it in a more traditional manner. This is why I could do it cheaper. I think that what they have built here is brilliant and if I had the funds would order one "my way" tomorrow! They do exceptional work and I would like to recommend a new video using this car. Please, Please, Please put Stacy Tucker in an old racing suit. Place a worn out baseball hat on her backwards. Smear some grease on her face, drape her hair in her eye's so she has to blow it out of the way every now and then and have her drive this car like she is mad at it!! LOL...This will be the best video on youtube!! Everyone out there that thinks Stacy should do this give Detroit Speed a shout out in the comments section. Stacy, you are a gem!

CORVETTE LYFE!!!

This is an awesome car love when TST does the oddballs and wild builds

The paintwork aside, that's one seriously cool car!

We've got a '71. Im ready to order parts!

Watch out for deer in that part of North Carolina. I have friends there and they say they're out all time of the day during this time of year. Oh and sick car!

My DREAM DAILY driver!

+TheSmokingTire Dude Matt you gotta take this to the track!!

Love Detroit Speed!! 💪💪💪
