    This reminds me of the guy who bought the 1985 Iroc Z brand new, then towed it home and put it in the back of a semi trailer for over 20 years with only 4 miles on it. Still had the window sticker on it, as well as plastic on the seats and steering wheel. My boss at the time bough it off Ebay and he let me clean it up and after a month of professional and meticulous cleaning and polishing, it looked like it rolled off the assembly line. Surprisingly it had zero rodents enter the car, not one spec of mouse poop anywhere and the inside actually still smelled brand new with no dust or dirt anywhere inside! I sold that car at auction and it now sits in a car museum and won’t be driven again. Look it up on CZcams. 85 Iroc with 4 miles and you will see the story. I’ll never forget being a part of that, it was truly amazing! Thank you Jack Oliver (My former employer, who is now passed away) for giving me the honor of being a part of that time capsule. May you rest in peace.

    This video is not just about restoring a car; it's about respecting automotive heritage. The lesson here goes beyond the mechanics of restoration; it's about cherishing and preserving the legacy of classic automobiles. The care taken to revive this Corvette highlights the importance of maintaining cultural artifacts for future generations. It's a reminder that each vehicle, no matter its age, has a story to tell, and it's our responsibility to honor that narrative. Truly inspiring work!

    • @teddbare2000
      @teddbare2000 Před 13 dny +1

      I agree the far car is a pace car. If it's low mileage with the original Indy Pace Car door decals as the technician said in the video AND if it is one of the very few that came with the manual 4 speed, it is still VERY valuable and much sought after! Probably deep into 6 figures if with the factory 4 speed manual. However, if you'll go through the video again, you'll catch a glimpse of a wheel on the middle or rear corvette. That spoke pattern bronze color factory wheel came on 1982 bronze collector edition that came with electronic crossfire injection. This collector's edition was to mark the end of the C3 production. There were no 1983 Corvettes because they were re-tooling for the radically changed C4 in 1984. The 82 collector's edition came with the first attempt at electronic crossfire fuel injection since some C2s with the 427 big block came with mechanical fuel injection in the mid 60s. I'm pretty sure that's what is under all those many years of dirt and air pollution that has settled on all of these cars. I can't wait to see if I'm right on the so far unidentified corvette.

Both left and right windows failed, and the a/c also failed in the first 2000 miles. I paid $25K for the car. That was my last American made car. Going back to the '78 Vetts, when I picked them up I circled all the scratches with a grease pencil.

    Great detailing work fellas...
    Brought back memories of my father and his Corvettes. He was sales manager for a Chevy dealer back in the mid 50's. He would get new Corvettes in on a Friday, throw a set of headers on, take it to the local strip and win a few, then bring it back and sell it on Monday! I was still a gleam in his eye at that time...haha...
    On another note, my cousin who was injured in Nam, had partially recovered by 1978, turned around and bought a silver 1978 Anniversary Edition. I got to ride in it one time, then he wrapped it around a tree and died, though his wife luckily survived.
    I have always held a dream in my heart to own a Corvette one day, but at 68 years old, disabled, and broke, it will always remain a dream. The crowning achievement of the design team is the 1963 split-window Stingray, and I would gladly give just about anything to own one of those. I'm sure that heaven is indeed furnished by Chevrolet, and there is most definitely a full stable of 63 splits there!!!

    I started mechanic work in a GM Dealership in 1979. First motor job was in a 1980 that the factory left the engine oil out. I am 68 years old and made it to GM Master tech. As a young tech in his 20's there was many things that mechanics disliked because of tight access. Pulling the motor was one of them. The hood release cable was a common problem. As long as rodents did not chew up wiring it should be good to go. It seems amazing how mice can find a way inside. Things like brakes maybe rusted solid. I rebuilt many of those four piston calipers, before the stainless sleeve rebuilt calipers became available. Good luck looks Great.

    Very nice work guys. A quick FYI -- it's not a 25th Anniversary "Edition" despite the nose badge stating "1953 Anniversary 1978" that all 1978 Corvettes had. The 25th Anniversary Edition cars featured a two-tone paint scheme of silver and gray.

      There was the pace car black and silver, the silver/grey anniversary edition and all other colors all still had anniversary badges. I bought the silver/Grey on my 18th birthday after looking at pace cars and other non anniversary color corvettes available that year.

The engine in this '78 corvette and my '78 Z-28 were both 350 V8, same emission layout and same interior materials and hardware. It's all legit.

    My dad had the exact same one. When I was 12 years old he got so drunk at my uncle’s I had to drive us home,it was about 60 miles. When we got home I told my mom I drove from uncle Tony’s and she said no you didn’t and I said I really did. She goes outside and he’s passed out in the passenger seat and she started screaming and yelling at him. He gets in the driver seat and puts it in drive instead of reverse and smashed through the garage door. In those days a DWI was like a parking ticket . If anybody is wondering what he was drinking,it was a quart of Canadian Club.
