The Chevrolet Corvette (C3) is the third generation of the Corvette sports car that was produced from 1967 until 1982 by Chevrolet for the 1968 to 1982 model years. Engines and chassis components were mostly carried over from the previous generation, but the body and interior were new. It set new sales records with 53,807 produced for the 1979 model year.[7] The C3 is the third generation of the Chevrolet Corvette, and marks the second time the Corvette would carry the Stingray name, though only for the 1969-76 model years. This time it was a single word as opposed to Sting Ray as used for the 1963-67 C2 generation. The name would then be retired until 2014 when it returned with the release of the C7.
With January 1970 production, fender flares were designed into the body contours to reduce wheel-thrown debris damage. New were eggcrate grills with matching front fender side vents and larger squared front directional lamps. The previously round dual exhaust outlets were made larger and rectangular in shape. Interiors were tweaked with redesigned seats and a new deluxe interior option combined wood-grain wood accents and higher-spec carpeting with leather seat surfaces. Positraction rear axle, tinted glass, and a wide-ratio 4-speed manual transmission were now standard. The 350 cu in (5.7 L) base engine (ZQ3) remained at 300 hp (224 kW) and the L46 was again offered as a 350 hp (261 kW) high performance upgrade. New was the LT-1, a 350 cu in (5.7 L) small-block V8 engine delivering a factory rated 370 hp (276 kW). It was a solid lifter motor featuring a forged steel crankshaft, 4-bolt main block, 11:1 compression ratio, impact extruded pistons, high-lift camshaft, low-restriction exhaust, aluminum intake manifold, 4-barrel carburetor, and finned aluminum rocker covers. The new engine, making up less than 8% of production, could not be ordered with air conditioning but was fitted with a domed hood adorned with “LT-1” decals.
Motor Trend in May 1970, clocked an LT-1 covering the quarter mile in 14.36 seconds at 101.69 mph and remarked, “There is Corvette and there is Porsche.
A special ZR1 package added racing suspension, brakes, stabilizer bars, and other high performance components to LT-1 cars. Big-block selection was down to one engine but displacement increased. The LS5 was a 454 cu in (7.4 L; 7,439.7 cc) motor generating 390 hp (291 kW) SAE gross and accounted for a quarter of the cars. The LS7, which was equipped with a single 800 CFM Holley carburetor and advertised at 460 hp (466 PS; 343 kW) at 5600 rpm SAE gross and 490 lb⋅ft (664 N⋅m) at 3600 rpm of torque,[15][16] was planned and appeared in Chevrolet literature but is not believed to have ever been delivered to retail customers, but offered as a crate engine.[10] A short model year resulted in a disproportionately low production volume of 17,316, down nearly 60%.[17] Rare options: ZR1 special engine package (25), shoulder belts in convertibles (475), LT-1 engine (1,287).

There was a dark Forest Green '72 Corvette Stingray in Baywatch. I wore my VHS tapes out on that series!
The chrome piece you referred to as "electronic ignition" is not electronic ignition. That came later in the '70s. That is a shield so the ignition wouldn't overpower the radio with static. Not a problem in a steel-bodied car, but the fiberglass-bodied Corvette needed it so the radio could be enjoyed. The fiberglass-bodied Studebaker Avanti also used a similar shield over the distributor.
Excellent video for first time builders.
I did the original design of this kit back in about 89 when I worked for Ertl, originally packaged as the 70 LT-1/ZR-1, did both a convertible and hardtop version.
I love the build on this one. Those Corvettes drove and rode nice. The tops didn't seal the greatest after some years and would leak at the back.
As humble as you are.... that came out amazing.
Another great video/build Chris. You're right, there has been a few Corvettes lately! Always learn something watching you, thanks for the tip with 'rubbing alcohol' ridding of 'white walls'. I didn't know that one, Cheers.
Nice preview and build up as always! Reminds me of the song , Little Red Corvette!👍😎
I like your chosen colors!
Very nice build as always. Looking forward to your next build.
The interior does look awesome
Brings back memories of times and places. Great build. I’ll look for one. Wire wheels would be a great addition. Thanks
Interesting painting example shown on the body of this build, Chris. I've never really followed the primer first, then paint philosophy. I have 50 year-old builds on which my original Testors paint work is just fine, and no primer was used.
Beautiful build
Wonderful build! This is the car I always wanted but just couldn’t quite get there. Remember copying your build is a complement! Going to build this one! Thanks for sharing your talent with us.
Great build. You always build some great cars.
Great kit! I think I'm gonna build one like Larry Tate's yellow '72 on Bewitched!
Really cool red corvette! You can use tamiya pink primer under red tamiya colors. It really highlights top color.
Chris, if you're going to mention the glues you use, don't forget the dollar store super glue and super glue gel! They work really well on chrome pieces, especially those pesky interior rear view mirrors!
Sweet!.... The thumbnail caught my eye right off the bat! 😊👍 Great job Chris!👍 Thanks!
The C3 convertible - always loved this variant of the Corvette, and I like the color scheme you've chosen. It's also a relief to see a convertible kit with a choice of tops for a change.
A definite dream machine. You make 'em look like they could drive right off the screen. Thanks for the build, Chris

Thanks as always RA!
Beautiful build! Thank you!
I am so glad to see this coming
Nice color
lmfao...!!!!! the fact that you already have such a crazy backstory about an extramarital affair is so awesome and shows me how really into the hobby you truly are...!!! I am so envious of your amazing imagination and how you set scenes up to play out. Dam brother,... I really think you could do alright in Hollywood I think...!!!! Hahahaha :D
Looks great , love the paint
That paint is awesome! I love the color combinations! Simply beautiful!
Amazing build as usual Chris. I always loved the mid era 'vettes specially a convertible!
Nice build sir!
My friends dad had a yellow 72 convertible with a black interior and top, had the rally wheels. Very nice car, I will get this kit when it comes out. Great work and a great video, have a nice day.
Dang, beautiful build!
Very nice build. I think this one of your better builds ever. Excellent color choices. It looks great. Thanks for sharing.
I always enjoy your detail painting I do the same for detail great looking paint on the Vet an as always thank you for your time and effort you put into are videos you made for us
Can always build this one as the corvette Chris Tucker drove in Rush Hour!!! Just find some wire style wheels. 😊😊😊

Great idea!
Its an Acrylic Lacquer. Plus you can put lacquer over enamel, you just cant put enamel over lacquer. Looks sharp with that red! You are right about Tamiya, it says it can do three models, but I barely get three coats out of it! I like that you used the luggage rack, that always looks so cool!
I can clear my schedule for an hour!
Master builder for sure. Love it. Great kit.
Being a vette guy I really like your build!! I need to pick up this kit.. In fact, all the builds I have seen you do are really nice!
Not that it matters at all it looks like a reissue of the '71 AMT kit. Thanks much for the build video.
With the fact that this is an updated kit, I have a bunch of the original kits that had the springs you added to the chassis, it looks like if you want to change all that just buy several of the new kits & you eliminate all that extra work, I might just do that, inventory what I've got, order what I need & those classic kits will have the modern upgrades
72 is one of the few Vet's that I like
Thanks for this - I've been looking to make one of these for a while now. Looks a very detailed kit chassis wise.
Little Red Corvette...
Chris, I know it's not really thrilling for the video. I was wondering if sometime you could show everyone how you put the gloss shine (floor polish) on your cars in your final assembly? Thanks Chris, love your videos....
Again a very nice job ! Don't you think the wheels are too wide? They should not protrude from the bodywork!

I have the same thought, the tires look to be a bit too wide. I want to get this kit, but I will now be more careful about how I assemble the steering / suspension.
Great looking car - thanks for the build.

Have you ever made one into Corvette Summer. 😊
When the 68 shark style vetts models came out in 68 they had rubber busket seats t g a t I thought was cool
Chris which models do you like to build better amt or tamiya?
I always thought the luggage rack looked tacky on the Corvette.

I always liked the luggage rack on almost any convertible.

Looks classy to me, and it's clearly appropriate for the model. There was no luggage space on the car otherwise.
Do you scrape the paint off of the parts you prime before you glue them together

I've never scraped paint (or chrome) off any model I've built, it's never been a problem, and I started in the hobby 50 years ago.

The steering wheel almost touches the edge of the driver's seat. I gather it's a kit design flaw.
@rayrussell6258

Not a design flaw. Corvettes of the era had tilt / telescoping steering column. It can be adjusted many ways by the driver, according to his preference. There is noting wrong with the placement of the steering wheel in this model kit.
