    Love that exterior color, nice! I've always been infatuated with the lines of the C3's

    Nice.
    I am from the Netherlands, also driving a Corvette C3 / 1970.
    Unbelievable how many positieve reactions you get anywhere.

    The only good 81 is one with a Crate engine and 4 speed stick. With that crate engine and the 3:07 rear end, It's no wonder you were having so much fun. Back in 80-85 my Red 80 4 speed would do 70 in 1st and right to 4th! True! PS: Those 3 holes on the frame at the driver & passenger door are for the side pipe option that used to be. Put in side pipes and save the frame there as that is a key rusting point.

    I still can’t drive yet but I have been a corvette lover my whole life and I can’t wait to buy one but I’m not sure if I should look into buying a classic or a current model. I love both.

      Rage Monkey if you had one with cross fire injection, swap it out with a Holley sniper and it becomes way better, you can get 350hp from a sniper

      Jim’s mowing service yea but if your going to buy a corvette your expecting it to already have 300hp. I had an 82 and it was slow as hell I thought it was going to be massively quick having the corvette name.

    I want to buy one 74 Vette, but it is auto :( I always prefered Camaro 2 gen over C3 but i love the body style of 74-77 and I am not sure about the plastic body. If I get some classic like C3, I will never sell it. I will drive it, till I die. Cool late Vette!

      Opie Winston if you want to go standard shift, silver sport trans out of tenn. makes the 500 and 600 5 speeds, and the T56 6 speeds for the c3. The 5 speeds bolt in without cutting the cross member. Hydraulic clutch too, no heavy clutch. You have OD!!!

  • @darrellgardner4561
    @darrellgardner4561 Před 3 měsíci

    Recently started looking at 1981 Corvettes, no particular reason, I doubt i'd actually buy one. Is the '81 kind of considered bad, compared to other corvettes? Something about being really held back by a bunch of emissions regulations? Thats a lot of what I hear, that it looks cool but kind of sucks.

    • @redbirdauto1713
      @redbirdauto1713  Před 3 měsíci +1

      It's completely subjective. What's considered bad for one guy might not be bad for you. They arnt power houses by any means but they're good cars. Independant rear axle, 4 speed trans, power seats/windows ect. Sure a c5 will smoke It but for the time it was great. Every muscle car from the 80's suffered the same emissions regulations and were under powered. Easily remedied today if you can turn a wrench.

    I usually prefer American sports cars over Japanese sports cars. But DO NOT get a older c3 corvette, they are way to unreliable. If you want a really fun and cheap to maintain car, GET A DAMN MIATA if you can fit in one.
