Oh my god, that ending rap was perfect, Roman. "I put the *semen* in *endorsements*, put the *bias* in *phobias*"

There was a good time spent on the technical details, and the various upgrades made to the car to satisfy the 'gearheads', but what I enjoyed the most is, how well the youngish presenter described the essence of the seventies at the end. From someone who didn't live then, that was awesomely well done, and I say it as an old geezer, who was a young adult at the time. Keep up this fantastically good work, and keep up this one-of-a-kind eclectic approach!

I remember how the fleet wood mac rumors album was played on every station coast to coast. God I loved that album. And couldn't wait to hear the same songs over and over.

I am glad I subscribed to you and not a single video has ever been anything but amazingly entertaining since.

I've always thought of the C3 as the most striking looking Corvette, but the majority of them didn't live up to the looks. This car gets it right - very nicely done.

Your ending commentary was dead nuts on. Well said. A small link to the past connected by a B&M shifter. Nice episode

Just discovered your channel. It's AWESOME! Love the narration!

Cool review Mr regular. Cool car Neal. I especially like the rachet shifter. Hope to one day try one.

I want to do whatever Real Neal does. Nice house, restomod, nice truck? I'm impressed.

Great statement towards the end I've always loved dat body style of vette even if it was made well before I was born but then again allot of my favorite cars r much much older than me.

Great video! I have a spot for these cars for some reason, especially the pre 78 small window cars, so it's nice to see someone else who appreciates them. I really like this particular car, but I'm not sure if it really fits the "resto mod" theme. Yes, it's being restored to non-original specs, but I don't think that in itself qualifies as resto mod. The fact that he's using a motor older than the car itself is pretty counter to the resto mod recipe. While the SBC is a great motor, it's low tech and what was available in the original car. And those "high flow Z/28 heads" were probably great in the day, but they are far behind a good set of aftermarket aluminum heads (as well as being designed for a 302cid engine, so I wonder how well they flow on a 350inch. I know for a fact 305 heads are a power killer on a 350 - smaller valves and combustion chambers). He's also running old style wheels, and there's no mention of big brakes. I think a correct "restomod" would be if he was running a LS motor (or at least an EFI setup on his SBC), big brakes with at least 17" wheels, and some suspension mods. Just my .02. I'm certainly not shitting on his car, I like it very much. I would consider it more of a nice driver though.

Love your non-sequitirs and random cut-aways!

No one will ever be able to be able to describe a C3 corvette in a more accurate and heartfelt way. I own a 1976 corvette and I am a die hard chevy fan. I have to admit I teared up when you concluded your video because you essentially were able to put in words my incredibly irrational attraction to the C3 generation. SUBSCRIBED!

Hey Neal, this car is glorious. I just bought my '77 Lady and she's rough, but I am stoked to rebuild the L48 from the block up, stuff it with modern parts and completely remove my (Also red, unfortunately) interior. We're hoping to get about 385~390HP out of her, with a Fitech EFI system and sidepipes(because America). I'm more of a Hurst kind of guy, but all that work you did to that car brings a tear to the eye. It's the definition of what a "regular guy" can do to a classic piece of automotive art like the 77 with time, determination, passion, and money. This channel is awesome.
