I was excited about buying a corvette to enjoy my retirement. Started watching you tube videos to see which year might be the best year to buy. Now I think I am going to consider another place to spend my money.😢

Are you a capable mechanic? Do you ever plan on taking the car on a long trip? Do you have financial reserves above and beyond the cost of either car? Lots of variables involved in that choice... Do you want a car to polish up and drive for an hour every other Sunday, or a car that you can get in roll out for 500 miles? Lyle

That sounds more like an HVAC control head and/or Vacuum Programmer issue. You will need to have someone diagnose it to be sure so that you only buy the parts you need. Lyle

Nothing concerning power levels in any C3 bumps me at all. This is the easiest "fix" in any old car but in C3 Corvettes it's especially UNIMPORTANT, IMO. I'm not looking for a Collectable car. I want something I can actually drive on sunny Sundays. I'm not looking for a 6 or 7 figure bet on the future value of the car going higher that I need to squirrel away in a climate controlled "safe place". When looking at any of these cars my choice of one over another comes down to paint and body alone. This is where I know I can buy either the best car I could hope for or the biggest mistake I'll come to regret later. No reasonably priced C3 Corvette has the power I'd be looking for anyway. So the engine is coming out. Corvettes are EXPENSIVE to paint properly so when looking I always prioritize that piece of the puzzle. For someone else it might be different but for me I know what I can and can't do. Mechanical stuff "easy/peasy".......body and paint? Not-so-much and I know a good job will have to be handed over to a body shop.
@cscorvetteifyКүн бұрын
You are completely correct in your choice to prioritize paint/body/Interior over the hard mechanicals...those are the least expensive things to change and you can do many of them yourself. Well said. Lyle

Had this installed in March solved the problem of not being able to get it out of park. Yesterday it did the not releasing again after a few times it shifted out of park ok. Today it happened again after a couple tries it worked. Tonight I went to leave and it is stuck again. I can not even put in in acc to put it in natural. just tried it again and it will not come out of park. I can not get it out of the garage.

This is great advice. Dad and I had a wheel bearing problem on our 1971 Stingray on a road trip from MI to FL. Finding a shop around Round Hill, VA was next to impossible (back in the late 80’s). Another no-no was driving in early winter conditions in Detroit. In sleet on I-696, I turned on the wipers; the louver came up and both wiper arms flew off the car. Not good.

It does take some time if you are like me and rewatch each step multiple times as you are doing the job. You just have to follow the video and you will be happy that you did and understand how the shifter functions. Don’t know what someone will charge you but only a few privately owned shops will have done this before. Most will have just replaced the whole shifter. One shop thought something around $2400 but that included a new shifter. I was comfortable with doing it myself. The video is excellent.

Good video! I’ve changed over to all LED on my ‘09 C6…. Including the sunvisors…. Which replacing those tiny bulbs is impossible, so I bought a new set that come with LED. I used the GTR CARBIDE headlight system from Vettelights and man, what a difference!! I get lots of awesome comments. But, the turn signals hyperflashed and Vettelights made good on a resistor solution. LED is the way to go on your C5 and C6 Corvettes folks, draw less power and more brighter and think about this guys, your brake lights will come on a nanosecond faster. In the tragic world that’s a game changer.

I've always loved C3s, I"m in my early thirties with three toddlers so right now really isn't the best time. But I want to take steps to be prepared when the kids are a little older and less hands on and I have more free time to spend with a classic vette. I want to have something like that so that when the kids get older they can remember how much fun it was to ride around with Dad and take the t tops off. I'm really enjoying watching your videos and learning/day dreaming. Thank you for your videos!

My neighbor owns a 1970 c3 and a Ferrari 308 that I believe is an 1983. The interior of the Ferrari looks like cardboard wrapped in leather with face screws holding it together. Absolute junk interior compared to the older 70 c3 sitting next to it.

I recommend the hyperflash harness as a safety net if nothing else. It is inexpensive and easy to install. It will also ensure that you do not have any issues system-wide when you change over to LED's. Lyle
