Bedankt

Gotham portrayed you as a guy who didn’t want to get your hands dirty . Nice job, looking forward to seeing more of your content! 👍🏻

I have no idea how KZfaq got me here but good lord did I love this freaking video. Your passion hit me right in the heart man. Well done sir, keep it up.

This is SO much better than the show on Netflix! I had no idea the passion you have for cars and you work on them yourself! Nice job! I've subscribed!

"I've gotta get out of here and... do some breathing." Caught me of guard and made me laugh. Great video!

"I got no brakes!" "I gotta go for a test drive!" You crack me up. I had a lot of fun watching this video. Nice job. Subscribed.

IDK where this dude came from but with such a nice shop, charismatic personality, and fun project ideas, I see this channel skyrocketing to the top.

You are the most entertaining and likeable and really knowledgeable car guy i have ever seen before and I've been around car people my entire life !!! Congratulations !!! You just made my day with this video and the burnout tire smoke show's !!! Thank you

What's happening with your videos, just discovered your channel, it's brilliant don't stop man I was looking forward to more videos,then was disappointed to discover only the four , in please we want MORE!!!!!?!!!??

My vote is for the Ontario Orange metallic, not many cars that color.

I think back to original color would be the best bet. p.s. Flying Sparks Garage is working on their c6 & could certainly use some advice. Emily & Aaron are pretty cool folks.

Seeing your passion for corvette is unreal, nice to see you having a good time outside of GG keep up with the passion Shawn loving it ! 🙌🏻

Been watching Rust to riches to disengage a bit in the evenings, this channel is a pleasant surprise - hope it takes off for you Shawn. I think one thing that isn't touched on much in shows like this is the true cost of parts + time and actual profit, especially over a period ( some projects pay off more than others etc. )

I really want you to make it. The old show made you seem like a joke. You are a hard worker,smart, and are doing your own video work. Smart man. Too much respect for you

Walking away with the empty gas can with a fade out was actually kind of poetic. I'm kinda blown away by this video because I just haven't seen anything like this in a long time

Shout out from Malaysia Shawn. Loved you in GG and love you even more in this. You keep it real Shawn. Looking forward to more materials

The burnout in front of buddies gated house..lol.....These videos are gold...keep them comin...I stumbled on this by accident like many probly did.....

When Shawn walked backed with the empty gas can, I died of laughter.

Put hose into pop bottle with brake fluid. Open bleeder. Pump away. Push out air bubbles. Been doing it for 30 yrs

Shawn I’m so happy I came across your channel bud! Never imagined would’ve found you having your own KZfaq show, you are great at what you do, looking so forward to every upload🫡🙌🏼loved this video

Shawn I love your videos. Your knowledge and personality ROCK.

Shawn, you rock! GG portrays you as a snobby deal geek, but you are hands-on and quick to diagnose. PAINT IT SEA FOAM GREEN

Shawn, honestly I never would’ve thought it was originally orange. So I went and looked this car up in its original 1971 Ontario Orange, and I have to say, it looked pretty darn good in that color. Then I remembered that years ago a friend had an AMAZING looking Fender Stratocaster guitar in “Burnt Candy Tangerine”, so I did a search on that color, and found several hot rods that had been done in that color. You should take a look at that and consider Burnt Candy Tangerine for this Vette. It would hold some of the original appeal, but look a hundred times as amazing. Great find my friend! - A fan of old Vettes from New Hampshire

Incredible, you made quick work of this one, Shawn. Awesome job!! fist bumps from Canada

Damn bro I knew you’re a Corvette enthusiast but I didn’t know it was this deep…It was nice seeing you go through the trials and error process. I think it will inspire more people to go out there and do it themselves. Awesome channel 👍🏼

Netflix should give you your own show bro! This is quality content.

Great buy, great price, and a great mechanic; oh’ and a great Video! Still tinkering with my old 95 vet, and still much fun. Get more time, I will watch more of about your 71 model here!

I love these old Vettes! It was a time before they were insanely expensive and a man that worked hard could buy one to enjoy. Simple to work on and absolutely beautiful! I love people that are passionate about their vehicles you got a new subscriber keep them coming love it:P

I watched you and Gotham crew when I was going thru chemo, so much thanks for keeping my tired brain entertained. This reminded me of my days in LA when that vette was new, damn I miss the early 70’s , racing at Riverside drive and cruising at Van Nuys Blvd. Keep up the awesome content! Subscribe!

Shawn, that '71 Stingray was a great buy. If that is the original long block in it, then the '71 has higher compression than a smog pump equipped '72, eh? I think that particular Vette body style looks fantastic in Black or White, in my opinion. Your "parts yard" is impressive. Happy to be a subscriber. Best of Luck!

I just subscribed, Shawn your my favorite guy in Gotham Garage but also I love Corvettes and its cool to see your knowledge on them and the junkyard full of them!! So awesome! I'll be checking in on your channel for new videos now 👍

you brought back memories i would love to relive all this one more time at 61 great vid

Shawn I just found your channel today. Love your content and your energy and vibe are amazing as well. This corvette fan and owner has subscribed.

Man what an episode!! I absolutely loved this old school Corvette restoration, keep 'em coming! 🔥

First video watching you and I'm hooked. Love that dune buggy style red Vette! Your joyful mannerism boasts excitement to my viewership! Thanks and. excited to see more! Donation added.

Great video quality, love all of it, great editing, content, please keep making more. Makes me want a Vette

What's really awesome about this car is that it's a manual, not an automatic.👌

This is the best car show in a very long time. I always thought you where the person that actually knew what he was talking about in that netflix show. Finally a real mechanic making an entertaining show. 5stars 👍👍

Not just entertaining but educational as well great Shawn well done! Keep it up 👍 You always were fun to watch in Gotham garage great show by the way me and my kid loved it

Shawn, you were the best personality on the show. hats off to you mate and wish you all the best! Easiest subscribe ive clicked!

Really enjoyed the video and your energy. Can’t wait for the follow up video! Love that you’re explaining the real time diagnoses and showing how it’s done.

Thanks Shawn for this entertaining and informative video. You're a Corvette mechanic genius. Keep up your labor of love. Shout out from NYC.

Just stumbled across this guy and I love his content, he's so genuine

I just happened upon your videos and completely fell in love with your presentation and I am a Corvette lover. I just bought my first Corvette it’s a C8 2023 hardtop convertible three LT. I wish I had your skills I would definitely rebuild Corvettes it would be awesome but I really enjoy watching your videos and thank you very much.

Omg this was so awesome to watch and see Shawn’s pure joy in bringing this car back to life. I’ve always liked him on Gotham garage and this confirms that he’s a passionate and genuine guy. Love it!

Great video. This car fell into the hands of the right guy to raise it from the dead. Being a corvette guy, it’s like a new addition to his family. Great buy, great job and great video. Your humor was great too. Well done 👍🏿

Man you are the man, it always fun seeing you on the other show, as others glad to have found your channel. keep it going brother!!

My dad had a 79 that he sold because of medical issues. Glad your channel came up on my KZfaq feed. Can't wait to watch more.

The original color it came with would definitely raise someone's attention it's not my car but if it has 64k on the milage, number matched, then you already know it's value, seems your luck is off to a better horizon, liked the show, presentation as well 😁

Great find, man ! Congratulations, and I hope you're having a great time fixing it up. Hopefully we will get another video of this one as you move forward with the restoration.

Hey Shawn, I always thought Gotham Garage didn't give you enough credit for all the work you did finding stuff for them. Now i know they didn't. You are a Mechanic too....KEWL BRO! glad to see your doing so well on your own. continue to post, i will watch your videos....Have a Great Day Dude....Mike

Love your vids bro! Keep up the good work! Love Vettes since I was a kid and my uncle dragged me to my first meet. I fell in love with my first '63 split window.

Dude is a cross between David Spade and Dana Carvey. Excellent Channel! For wheels that are locked up you can put fiberglass cafeteria trays under each stuck wheel. They will slide like butter.

How are you not more popular, what charm, what passion and what energy. You are amazing sir, reminds me of the roadkill episodes here on youtube and I love those!

Hi Shawn, when I grew up, the early seventies , my fathers friend and mentor to me was a Structural Daftsman with his own firm. He bought a new 1972 Corvette Stingray. He immediately painted it Indian Red. It was slightly uneven colour like an indian rubber ball. Kind of a deep reddish wine. It looked fantastic on the car.

I love this video.. I’ve seen it several times. I love your passion.. congratulations from Spain for a huge and nice work … and I do not only mean the car, I mean the video edition too. Please keep on road..

Dude.. Shawn... How in this wild and crazy world do you *not* have 500k+ subscribers??! Man your camera work, content, and most importantly your personality are incredible. This video is the first one I've seen of yours. It caught my eye when it came across my feed and this is where the story begins lol. I'm very ecstatic to have ran across your channel, man, now I've got a new favorite one to watch for sure! Take care, brother. --JW from Middle Tennessee *Edit: Alright, I just clicked on the channel and seen the two uploads, and also you're on Netflix as well. So all that fantastic camera work and inviting personality makes sense now 😆 I'll have to click on Netflix and check it out.. I rarely ever watch that platform, hence why I haven't seen your work before. I'm still a fan though, brother man! Lol

This upload is awesome. Although I'm a casual watcher of channels like this one and I don't know a lot of about cars, I enjoy these types of show. If this channel keeps making contents like this, it will reach 1M subscribers soon. Content is great; there's humor, knowledge and drama to overcome.

Bro, you are just awesome. There are a few times that KZfaq gives me fantastic recommendations, and THIS is definitely one of them.

"its got no brakes" .....next sentence......"Ive gotta take it for a test drive" LOVE IT!!

That's an incredible deal for a classic Corvette! You've got yourself a real gem there, and we can't wait to see how it turns out once it's fully restored.

Dude this guy breaks it down so easily to understand and how to diagnose a car! I barely know anything about cars 😂 keep on making these videos brotha !!

Your freakin awesome Shawn!!!! Loving the content. I was bummed to see Gotham Garage end. And, I feel you were the main character.

Not sure how I landed on this page after viewing old jags, but this was so fun to watch! Great find and great job with the vette!

Oh man... I bumped into your video by accident. Love how you're doing it! Keep it real, show the fails and celebrate the wins!

You gotta paint it red Shawn. BTW your humbleness and passion is out of this planet. keep doing what you love and God bless you.

Aaah I love older BMWs but 70’s Corvettes I have a liking to. Nice to see your Channel Mr Pilot

A fast Corvette like that should be painted sky blue just like my 1975 Firebird that no car could beat on a race. But now I moved up to something really faster that flies like a hurricane storm. Passing through. But quite a little bit dangerous as well. But yes sky blue paint will be super nice looking on that fast 1971 Corvette. That always been my dream car since I was a kid. All I can say I wish you the best luck on that nice car. That was a totally great find. Take care and God bless you man and have a great Thanksgiving.

I knew you had some experience playing with cars, I'm glad your starting a KZfaq channel, we need more videos like this, showing the younger generation how cool older rigs are, and how easy to work on they are, keep up the great work

Great video Shawn. I paid 3500 for my first Corvette back in 1977. It was a 1968 base Coupe with a 327 and 3 speed manual trans. Was super nice car and fun to drive! I did a frame on restoration.

Just found your channel…. Loving it mate keep up the good work very entertaining. From the uk .

Well you did good. A while back I bought a '77 for $3000. Several years and $20,000 later I had a real nice restomod. Drove it for a few years and then sold it for $17,000, used that money towards an '06 coupe. Great cars these Vettes.

I don’t own a Vette but Shawn’s videos are so entertaining. Keep ‘em coming

That's an incredible find for 3500! Nice buy and I would put it back the original color That will add value and that car is worth it being wreck free! But you know that already.

Shwan, in the show I liked your character, but here you rock man. Excellent work I look forward all your videos

Shawn love what you do. Keep it up.

First time seeing you-your channel. Dude! You are a trip!!! LOVE watching a guy work on "real" car. I forget how easy was it to do things under the hood to cars before computers came along and everything was squished into a friggen box. And definitely one of the best finds/deals ever. Good for you and good job. I'm leaning towards RED.

Oh man, the brake bleeding part was hilarious! Great score with this Vette!

You where my favorite on the Gotham Garage team. Glad i found your channel. !!!!

I totally enjoyed watching your video. Yeah, great deal on that 71 Vette. I'm 64 and always wanted a Vette, but practicality always one over. Great show, and beautiful car. My color choice, something real different, Robin Egg shell blue....Good luck with the car....Thanks again, I'll be watching.

Just stumbled on this channel. I could tell that there was more to Shawn than what was portrayed on the show. If anything, Shawn was the most important part of the crew, finding buyers and deals. Anyways, I was looking for part 2 of this video and was surprised to see that there are only 4 videos on the channel. Part 2 is not one of them. I hope we get more videos. The content is good.

If the block and head numbers match the car I would go with the original Ontario Orange. It was one of my favorite colors anyway. I also liked the War Bonnet yellow for '71. I had my '71 big block painted with Dupont Imron Seminole red metallic and it looked really good. You can never go wrong with any red or black on the C3 Vettes. Just go with whatever color appeals to you!

I’m so glad i found your channel, great content! Fun to watch 💯

Very entertaining video not sure how you’re video popped up but it was very cool to see. Great deal on the 3500 corvette!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤙🏽

you remind me of my late-grandfather figure. super into corvettes, always got that mechanic sense of humour, and was the sole reason im into corvettes myself. he heard that i was gonna save up and buy a 1996 Chrysler New Yorker for my first car, and shoved his then (now mine) 1989 C4 Corvette in my face for two grand, and is now my first car. absolutely loved the heck out of this video! glad i discovered your channel

I love watching you put old corvettes together.....never owned one but always wanted one

Watched this video twice and the other videos great work and we need more videos ☺️

I’m so happy I stumbled on to your channel, great find . Cheers 🇨🇦

I’m glad I found your show! This is great, I really like the work you do and you’re really good with the camera.

Nice Buy, Shawn.. I Love watching old corvettes come back to life. Gotta save them..

SHAWNY BOY!!!! I AM SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU ON UTUBE DOING YOUR OWN THING. This will be the first video I've seen, can't wait. So, what's up with Gotham garage? I have always enjoyed your intelligence and ability to close a sale. God bless and good luck!!! Really big fan!

Beautiful car man. Thanks for keeping these things alive and running so that we can enjoy them for what they are. American heritage.

Shawn you are to cool ! After being in the car business most of my life starting with a family shop I’ve pretty much done everything. I’m never impressed with most car guy videos but for some reason I kept watching and I’m glad I did. You seem like a really nice guy that’s not so full of himself I can’t even watch and you seem a genuine gear head. I’ll drop in once in awhile and see what your up to. Good luck on your next score, this one was the deal of a lifetime !

It always amazes me how many golden finds are in usa. In Europe this car wouldn be atleast 20 something thousand. Great video 👍

Frankenstein for real . I don’t even like cars but you brought this back to life was cool. Like watching a movie with a good ending

This brought so many smiles to my face! Thanks! New subscriber!

Hey Shawn, I’m so happy to see you on KZfaq! I hope you’re very successful. I went through a half dozen 68-75 Vettes in my earlier years. My favorite was a 72 LT-1 with Air. I think it was the only solid lifter car with AC that GM ever made. I think they made 271 of them. I sure wish I still had it. It was remarkably weak In performance compared to a 70 LT -1. The pollution control stuff and the lower compression made a huge difference in performance. You really made me “homesick” for another. I may start looking for another. I’m really wondering if I’ll enjoy driving one, it’s been a long time! PS: No question in my mind on the color. Ontario orange. It’s original and orange is popular again. If you’re lucky they prepared the jams poorly and they’ll be easy to strip.

Randomly stumbled upon this channel, gotta say, Shawn has always entertained me on CMRTR, hope this channel does well, just a feel good way to start your day, grats.....

Good job shawn. God bless. Keep up the good work.

Shawn you are so hilarious! Thanks so much, I love your humor. I so needed to have a good belly laugh😃🎈🎈🎈🩵
