I have a 69 Corvette and my wife and son can't understand why I love it so much.

Probably the best description of why we drive classic cars. They shake, they rattle, they have little quirks about them that make them more unique that new cars. It's their personalities breaking through.

Good for them. I lost my younger brother a few years ago, but at least we got to bond over a few road trips as well. Nothing like the open road to put things in perspective. Thanks.

The C3 is the most beautiful Corvette of all times to me 😍

Always admire the C3 era.

Love this video. I own a C3 and love it for the same reason these two brothers love there C3. There is a connection that you get when driving a old car that no new car can give you friends.

My twin brother and I split our first car between us in 1974 when finishing high school. I am more interested in cars than he is, but we did take a road trip in my MG and that was so enjoyable. Memories!!

Great car and good brothers

Those headlights open would drive me crazy !!

HI Guys, when I saw the picture of your yellow 72 Corvette on Hagerty Road Trip this morning I cracked a smile because I have had two corvettes in my life, a silver green 1965 and a yellow 1970. My yellow 1970 is an exact copy of your 1972 except I had a 454 engine with a manual 4 speed. Yes, the fiberglass bodies of these old classic cars do fall apart after a while and you need to spend a lot of time repairing things. I’m sure you had the same problem with a leaking T-Top like I did as well. The thing I like most about it is they had chrome bumpers on both the front and rear. I started disliking them when they went to fiberglass bumpers. I wish I still had mine!

Much respect for people who DRIVE their cars rather than just trailer them from show to show.

Love that he drives it like he means it! As if driving is a daily necessity. Fulfilling! Drive on bro!👍🏾

I own the same yellow 1972 Corvette Stingray only mine has side pipes original side pipes. And I've had her for decades. And I've driven a lot of muscle cars. But I will say this to this day my 72 Stingray has given me the greatest rides of my life. As far as I'm concerned there's just nothing better then an old school Stingray.

That was awesome! I'm in AZ, too. We should make a run out to Tortilla Flat sometime

I enjoy making repair videos of all my Corvettes.

Yes Yes Yes. THIS is why my son & I drove a 1974 BMW 2002 home from CA to MA, that I bought in April 2019. Totally get it.

My absolute fav Corvette!!!

I will say that the most beautiful Corvette years are 68-72, either though some people say 63-67, just like a lot of people say the 57 Chevy looks better than the 55, but u see that's what happens when Hollywood gets involved with cars...it creates the Bandwagon effect.

The headlight actuators need rebuilding or replacing. They're not holding vacuum. It's not too hard of a fix. Go to Corvette Ben on KZfaq. He has lots of Corvette fix it videos

absolutely love C3s and C2s

Same Vette, same color! Bought it from a co-worker in 1976. Only difference is mine was a 327cui with 4-speed. Loved that machine!

Owning a 1968 427/435 TriPower, matching number Corvette, I agree the C3 is the best looking Corvette body every produced. But as they say, these cars are "plastic pigs". The creak, rattle and are so much much fun to own and drive.

Awesome pick, 68-72 are nicest vette EVER.

Hagerty is the best .... I wouldn't own a 11' shelby gt500 if not for them !! Grundy doesn't write policies where I'm at ... so I'm thankful for HAGERTY

Congrats on the ride! A few suggestions that might help you enjoy your first muscle/sports car a little more. First, get the tires balanced or get new tires (if one is out of round or the belts are loose, replace ). 80 will be a breeze. Second, buy/borrow a vac gauge, but some vac hose and check the web for likely culprits for your headlight door issue. Or leave them - it looks cool!

Cool video of a 72 corvette road trip

I don’t Know why but i love yellow cars. That’s why i have two of my own (2002 mx5 & 1971 alfa Giulia) but the stingray is one of my Dreams 👍👍👍👍

Beautifull ‘72

Great video! my 1987 C4 Corvette does the same thing! And I love driving it!😎😉🙄😆

That's an awesome story. Drive, Drive, Drive. No trailer queens needed. Just say no to self driving vehicles. Only experience drivers need apply. Nothing like the muscle car experience, the newer versions make the old ones that much more enjoyable.

Great story guys.

Nice video! Thanks for sharing.

Cool is Cool and Fun is Fun.

Its true about stopping at the gas station, i get the same with my 67 impala!

love C3's. great video. nice that you can share a similar interest with someone close. CorvetteBen has several videos on fixing the vacuum headlights...its not hard, I did mine. don't be tempted to do one of the electric 'upgrades'.

No more words needed

beautiful car.

Uhhhhhhhh......love the car but fix the freaking headlights so the close when the lights are off. Mmmm ok.

I most totally and completely GET IT!

Seeing a C3 in this scenery reminds me of the movie 'The Wraith'.

The '68 to '72 vette is a pretty girl. But come on guys, burning out in the dirt? GREASY!!😎

LOVE THAT CORVETTE! :))))

Fabuloso!!!🇧🇷

I'd never share my 1970 Pontiac Firebird with my Brother's 😂

Nice. I like the color, though I'm not normally a fan of yellow. I had a 72 roadster, 454 4spd, in blue. My first was a '73 coupe, small block auto, blue green. I had more fun in that car than humans should be allowed to have.

Excelente vídeo gracias por Compartir saludos de Pachuca hidalgo México.

Lindo 😎

Gotta love a growler😁.

Cool.

The lines of the C3 (any year) are pretty much what I think of when I hear "Corvette".

Those vacuum systems are a pain for the headlights on C3s. Detroit Speed makes an electric kit for that reason.

Have a 72 C3 BB 4spd original car and a 68 LS swap car. Yes, headlights are easy fix, all of the vacuum stuff is in a c3, unless you're running a modded LS, then make your own electric conversions. The kits are way too expensive.

You can fix those front headlights you know!

My dad has the Same car

If it had been a manual instead an automatic you guys probably been at each others throat 😅

fix the vacumn lines

Fix those headlights Dudes

Niiiiice.

Que motor tiene , hasta el 72 se podía comprar un vette big blok

Great video but i c3 is not for you if you cant fix even those lights.

the car "has more rattles than a baby could play with" ha!

That C3 better be a 454!

They could enjoy this car lots more if it were a 4-speed.

How do i add to this? I've got a CUCV I'd love to throw into this mix.

this is a CORVETTE

If I bought a car with my brother he would be driving it, except when the gas tank was empty.

If they got a 68-71 corvette they could’ve avoided all the horsepower robbing emissions regulations, 72 was the beginning of the slow corvettes

Fix the headlights

An insurance company produced this and the two brothers were not wearing seat belts. Please buckle up!

lindo ne 😍😍😍😍

drive around with the headlights open...???????????????????????????? Try fixing it

Two owners two headlamps half price fix.

It an automatic though....

I'm sorry your Corvette has an automatic transmission.

А можно не болтать? Я хочу послушать звук мотора! Don't speak!!!

you know, that color explains it all, also you can manually lower and raise those headlights. ahhh bonding, and kissin pickles in a classic banana. Gross

C5 vette is the prettiest corvette, just sooo sexy C1 is nice and is a great looking classic C2 vette is soo classic, so beautiful just amazing C3 is too brash, it's a nice looking vette just not really worth fawning over. 80s C3 is early 80s goodness though C4 vette has become dated and hated C6 was just badly built C7 is just a re hash of the C3. But does bring the vette up to date C8 vette, well, we'll have to see about that

Everyone, everywhere is a "global citizen", nothing special about JJ and Pierre having European parents.
