Check out this badass 82 Corvette I saw at the hardware store! You don't normally see the C3s with this many upgrades! She's a screamer! 😁

Crazy that people don’t build these more. This is probably my favorite corvette generation.

Don’t get build because they handle like crap, are slow , vacuum leaks everywhere, cramped cabin, and they made thousands and thousands of them. Pretty nevertheless .

I just bought a 380hp/420 torque crate engine for my 1975 Corvette. I also got brand new upper and lower control arms and brakes. I’m hoping to have it at the track next month.

The vette look nice asf I’m young but I wouldn’t put a screen in that thing maybe swap it out with the ls like he did or put a 454 in it but not the screens just a lil radio so I can use the aux or maybe a wireless bt but not the screens I would wanna keep it as close to stack as possible but never the less it’s beautiful

Wrong. In 1980, if you bought a Corvette in California, it would come with a 305 engine in order to pass their stupid emissions laws. Look it up. TOP 50 WORST CARS EVER! 🤣

the engine is not making 600hp .its making close to what GM rates them at .unless you port the heads and install a bigger cam .once you tune a EFI engine set up ,you don't need to retune it ,unless you make any major changes to the intake or exhaust ,or you had a bad tune to begin with

All C3's came from factory with a posi. You should not be making video's about cars. Corvettes never had a 305. Bob driving a car that was built for him and you not knowing anything about what you are talking about. Great.

"The 305 cubic-inch LG4 spent only one year beneath the Corvette's hood, before eventually being replaced the following year when those at GM finally found a way to bring the 350 cubic-inch small-block into compliance with California emissions standards. This engine would come to be known as the L81" Quote - enquote Now who's the idiot, idiot. And guess what? He told me that he moved to North Carolina from CALIFORNIA! So I guess your the moron! 🤓🤣
