Great car, love it when someone does their own thing with a build, these cars are artwork, freedom of expression. Think you'd like my '65 fastback Mustang, flared, low, wide, T-56 magnum, 408 stroker, wide tires front and rear. Glad to see the younger crowd having fun with classic American cars.
@@brickman6775 I think they go well with most Japanese imports, but otherwise they're awful and they ruin cars. This is especially so for classics, RWB porsches being one of the biggest offenders for me, I'm not even a porsche guy either. Still I much prefer molded in body panels or seperately made bodykits no matter which kind of car it is, as it looks far more natural and clean. If you're going to build a car from the ground up like this guy, do it right, don't bolt on plastic crap to stock panels and cut them up.

C3 has always been my favorite Vette, and your right when it comes to the whole experience leaving an electric wanting. There is nothing like the sound of a lumpy cam in a big block at idle and feeling the vibration as the motor lives and breaths and gets angry as you provide more fuel that you can smell form the cockpit. Feeling the torque from the bottom, the whole experience is more than the sum of the pieces. Vintage is never gonna go out of style!

Great advice Mr. Randall. I built my first SBC at 15 years old and never looked back. I have restored many over the past years and now teach young guys the tricks. The best advice you gave was "Just do it". You can't be afraid and many people share knowledge just based on the fact that the kid has the passion. My advice would be "Don't make your daily driver your project". You will be in for many let-downs if you do. Take your time, learn the process. Nice C3 by the way, never done one. Mostly F-Bodies.

Four Speed Films You do things a lot like I do! I’m scouring the internet for the perfect color green for my 34 Chevy coupe! It has a 383 first gen smallblock, and BW super T10. Would you please post the paint color code and underlying special prep if any? Would really appreciate it, thanks.
Hell of a build man, love it all the way around and Rambo sounds about right. The only thing I would do differently is throw a 454 Big Block Chevy in it rather than LS. Great video guys!
@Frank White Apparently you're not familiar with big block Chevy engines. A big block Rat motor can reach 1000+ on pump gas with the right parts, A LS would never do that.
@@HotAmericanCars Yes indeed sir, my 1st experience with comparing the virtues of a SBC to a BBC was in mechanic school in the mid 80s. Two other students had '69 Camaros(when they were just used old cars), one was a 383 stroker, the other a modded 427 transplant. Both were fast, but if the 383 stroker was like riding on a crazed bull, the BBC was a charging rhinoceros! The pit of your stomach just hits your spinal cord, I revere any large block big inch V-8!
I got a love for classic trucks from my dad, today I drive a 75 k25 that belonged to my uncle. I got it from him just before he passed and my dad and I told him we'd have it on the road again after it sat for 25 years on his ranch. And now I'm pursuing a career as a mechanic.
C3 and C6 are my favorite gen Corvettes and man this thing is awesome. Also these films are awesome. I know I’m late on this one but keep the car stories coming!!
2:43 *it's weird how I get an offended feeling when I hear someone say they don't like Corvettes. Especially the C3. Jay Leno uttered the same sentiment regarding the C3.* I'm actually a little Annoyed that a guy who isn't naturally a "Corvette Guy" has such a viciously delicious VeTTe..👁👁
68-73 are fantastic C3 vettes. 74-77 still a great look. 76 is the last one with the Stingray name. 78-82 have the boring hatch window but still a decent car. C3 went from 68-82
He painted the chrome front bumper... I nearly cried when I saw that.. and that wing 🤦🏻♂️. But to each is their own you know. I could never do that to mine tho. 68-72 C3’s are some of the best older vettes imo
@@beezy7412 that's making no down force, it's just an air break. If you even thought an American car has too good of a fuel consumption, put one of those on!
I built a psycho C4 slick body no flares but big rubber, big NA power, and lotsa suspension/brakes. I get the same feeling outta that car - loud, gnarly, smells like gas. Good video.
Hey Ben, I was a young guy when these hit. . . I too wasn't a fan, thought GM messed up with the design chg. Liked 1st. & 2nd. Gen. a lot though. Your Rambo changed my mind on the 70's Vette. BTW the 70's also great ! Rambo shows up . . .it's like Flight 93 , "Lets Roll"
Now this is how a real widbody should be done, panels actually molded into the shell of the car, none of this plastic crap crudely bolted unto a cut up body panel. It's beautiful, this is one of the best looking custom C3s I have ever seen, the wheels and flares match it so well, since it's built around them. This is built done right, cool guy and a cool car.
Dude you nailed it ! Perfect colour with flares and tail feathers. Like you I'm not a Vette guy but I know talent, skill and excellence I would love to have this car .

Great advice Mr. Randall. I built my first SBC at 15 years old and never looked back. I have restored many over the past years and now teach young guys the tricks. The best advice you gave was "Just do it". You can't be afraid and many people share knowledge just based on the fact that the kid has the passion. My advice would be "Don't make your daily driver your project". You will be in for many let-downs if you do. Take your time, learn the process. Nice C3 by the way, never done one. Mostly F-Bodies.
This is the type of car I wish I could have seen a lot more footage of it driving... and being driven hard. Awesome car.
The first time you climb in and see those fender wings from the cockpit ... you're a Corvette guy. A real beast here!!! Well done.
I hear you man, I have been trying to find stuff for my 67Plymouth belvedere for the last couple years. Not easy parts to come by. Beautiful vet and I'm glad younger guys like you are keeping the hobby alive.
Garrett is such a badass! And Rambo has got to be the best C3 out there. 👍
Deff one of my favs I’ve seen, but you should check out Detroit speed’s c3 on TH-cam. Theirs is insane
This is nicely done. It’s aggressive but not too overwhelming at the same time. I really like this vette.
It all makes sense when you see his dad had a Pantera. Such a great build
I absolutely agree with everything you say. I just happen to love the 1980 corvette of my graduation year, that last year that no computer chip is involved. Completely manual. I am now an owner of 1980, no computer chip, manual car. thank God. As of now Biden as made a law that all cars by 2026 will have a kill switch on your car installed by your person who changes your oil. That is insane, if your car is monitored by a computer chip, then at any given moment you are with the help of 5g, accessable to hackers, and police who feel they need to turn off your car. Wake up. Please wake up and say no to the "super rich who control if you can drive your car". Thank God I have a non, computer chip car,
incredibly beautiful attention to retaining the original shape of the car. The color just hits right. Instant sub
Beautiful car!!!
I’ve never been a vette guy. I love the early split windows tho but this body style never did anything for me until I clicked on this vid! Well done man ! !

And my all time dream car is the Pantera! What a car to play around with! Nice vette too!
Most early Vette flares look cheesy but these are styled well. Beautiful build.
I’ve been wanting to do a restomod C3 myself and have seen this guy around the web and wanted to know more. So cool to see a good quality video of this build

Beautiful car. Amazing!
C2 is a classic but the C3 especially the early ones look the best when modified, race modified and in classic form. Hands down.

@@s1p2a3r4 Oh the 80,81 and 82 are absolutely gorgeous cars, as well, especially when kept with it's stock look. Looked better than most Americans cars those year and until this current day.🇺🇸👍
I'm not a flare or autocross guy but man is this car perfect for all of that. This car looks sick and is build for any road!
Quality video on a quality car can’t ask for much more!
You made me want to buy it. I am a simple guy so I am going to get one before this year gone. Thanks Four Speed Films!
Wow. Those wide flares really do complete the C3! Granted, it was and is a beautiful car, but man those flares does it right! Awesome build!
I flared and lowered my 71 Roadster back in the 1970's and still own it along with my 91 ZR1... Excellent work, well done!
Love huge modded C3’s! Great job!
This is one of the best cars on the internet. So sweet.
I love the color on the car, and the tires fits really well with it

I’ve got to say that there are very few cars that sound as sexy as a Corvette stomping on the gas!
His car looks fun! I love Corvettes, and the 68-72’s are a blast to drive. I love my 72!
What a nice car, and what a modest guy. Awesome.
I've never been a C3 enthusiast by any means but this is just outstanding. Perfection achieved! 👍

Absolutely Sweet Job !!! The sound outta these LS motors is Ridiculous, pure Gold.
What a beast. I love the flared look. That green is tough. Sounds crazy fast. Awesome video.

@@s1p2a3r4 You may want to go see a therapist or someone that can help you with that.
@@MogulFarmer Since Obama was in office it seems 500 more regulations are signed in everyday, therefore none of us can keep up with it. Here is report of the new Kill Switch that will be mandated into your car by the person who changes your oil starting in 2026. th-cam.com/video/meTUTfliL9o/w-d-xo.html
@@MogulFarmer The last car I rented, it told me to please put my eyes back on the road, and also please pur your hands back on the steering wheel. The new cars are way out there
Beautiful car!
I love how every video feels like I'm watching a motor-trend doc
I never liked the c3 corvettes but this one is amazing looking. This guy did a good job and shows the true potential of them.

Four Speed Films Love your content, give us more! Car meet videos are awesome too !!
Four Speed Films You do things a lot like I do! I’m scouring the internet for the perfect color green for my 34 Chevy coupe! It has a 383 first gen smallblock, and BW super T10. Would you please post the paint color code and underlying special prep if any? Would really appreciate it, thanks.
Great video. Awesome CAR!!!
What’s that first song?
What was the cost to build
I’m not a corvette fan but this is beautiful without a doubt my favorite custom Vette I’ve seen. Very nice
Hell of a build man, love it all the way around and Rambo sounds about right. The only thing I would do differently is throw a 454 Big Block Chevy in it rather than LS. Great video guys!
It's probably an aluminum block LS. Perfect for autocross
@@phoenixeragon6404 You do have a point, I'm looking at it more like a hotrod
@Frank White Apparently you're not familiar with big block Chevy engines. A big block Rat motor can reach 1000+ on pump gas with the right parts, A LS would never do that.
05gtdriver yup, in fact we have a 454 Chevelle pro street build on our channel that makes 1,000hp on motor.
@@HotAmericanCars Yes indeed sir, my 1st experience with comparing the virtues of a SBC to a BBC was in mechanic school in the mid 80s. Two other students had '69 Camaros(when they were just used old cars), one was a 383 stroker, the other a modded 427 transplant. Both were fast, but if the 383 stroker was like riding on a crazed bull, the BBC was a charging rhinoceros! The pit of your stomach just hits your spinal cord, I revere any large block big inch V-8!
I got a love for classic trucks from my dad, today I drive a 75 k25 that belonged to my uncle. I got it from him just before he passed and my dad and I told him we'd have it on the road again after it sat for 25 years on his ranch. And now I'm pursuing a career as a mechanic.
Looks fcking sick, you really struck the best possible Green for it
C3 and C6 are my favorite gen Corvettes and man this thing is awesome. Also these films are awesome. I know I’m late on this one but keep the car stories coming!!
This guy must've taken a lot of inspiration from the 76' Greenwood Vettes.
very close match in silhouette
I have always love wide body cars and its the goal for my 77 vette
Please Ben do a video with that super bee(that from the intro)
Second on that! The Super Bee looks very interesting. Great video BTW, "Rambo" is a real dream!
I love this beautiful beast! Great job!! 👌👍

*it's weird how I get an offended feeling when I hear someone say they don't like Corvettes. Especially the C3. Jay Leno uttered the same sentiment regarding the C3.*
I'm actually a little Annoyed that a guy who isn't naturally a "Corvette Guy" has such a viciously delicious VeTTe..👁👁
It kinda sounds like he's a Corvette guy now, kicking and screaming.
68-73 are fantastic C3 vettes. 74-77 still a great look. 76 is the last one with the Stingray name. 78-82 have the boring hatch window but still a decent car. C3 went from 68-82
I think I want to drive my 1980 C3 today. Thank you for the inspiration... Thank you for showcasing one of the nicest C3 Corvettes I have ever seen.
This is one of the nicest C3 restomods I've ever seen.
I would remove the decals off awesome paint job, and remove that spoiler, your hiding the lines of this awesome corvette!
He painted the chrome front bumper... I nearly cried when I saw that.. and that wing 🤦🏻♂️. But to each is their own you know. I could never do that to mine tho. 68-72 C3’s are some of the best older vettes imo
@@beezy7412 that's making no down force, it's just an air break. If you even thought an American car has too good of a fuel consumption, put one of those on!
Great to see someone enjoying their creating. Well done. Life's for living.
I built a psycho C4 slick body no flares but big rubber, big NA power, and lotsa suspension/brakes. I get the same feeling outta that car - loud, gnarly, smells like gas. Good video.
As viewers and car enthusiasts our job here is to subscribe to these wonderful TH-cam car channels.
I am NOT a Corvette guy but this thing makes my heart beat fast hearing it and watching that tire smoke. And that fishtail to end the video.
This car is ridiculous, I love it so much🔥
What a dream car.
Best looking vette ever long live the C-3
Stunning. The flares, the green with black trim is epic.
This car is incredible!
Imagine getting to grow up working on classic cars with your dad. That's awesome, love it
guaooo que bellezza de automivil...CORVETTE...saludios desde COSTA RICA.
Great looking car and great build! Electric may be here but gas, petrol, diesel will always be King!
Randall
Don't let nobody tell you different man
It's badass dude
Reminds me of racecars from the mid70's
That car is so cool.
Hey Ben, I was a young guy when these hit. . . I too wasn't a fan, thought GM messed up with the design chg. Liked 1st. & 2nd. Gen. a lot though. Your Rambo changed my mind on the 70's Vette. BTW the 70's also great ! Rambo shows up . . .it's like Flight 93 , "Lets Roll"
Love the car and your attitude on old cars. Long live the classics!
A story with a link to this video appeared on my google news feed this morning! That's huge! Nice job!
Glad that classic getting loved with the combination of modern tech, nicely done
If this car doesn’t make you want a 60s/70s Corvette, you have no soul.
Now this is how a real widbody should be done, panels actually molded into the shell of the car, none of this plastic crap crudely bolted unto a cut up body panel. It's beautiful, this is one of the best looking custom C3s I have ever seen, the wheels and flares match it so well, since it's built around them. This is built done right, cool guy and a cool car.
For not a Corvette guy he sure made a sweet build.
I have a green C4 that I plated "The Hulk" Yours is a bad ass C3. One of the nicest I have ever seen or heard . Congrats!!!
Looks great!! My favorite C3's are the 1981 and 1982 body designs
Best looking classic Vette I have ever seen.
Love that front end air dam and bumper. The whole front is on point. Good job
Wow, this car looks incredible! Spot on too with the SOUND of combustion!
LOL!! at 4:10 the orange random first gen K5 Blazer passes by!
This dude has the most beautiful corvette i've ever seen, amazing build !!, . I love your channel Ben !!
Damn the corvette looks sick. ❤🔥
What a beautiful Vette. Looks so much better than stock.
That Corvette is truly a work of art.
man it looks really good !
This video is highly underrated, should be way more views and likes
That is gorgeous. period. C2 and C3 were the best looking by far imo. And I'm an Aston Martin fan.
This man really is a car guy
Speaks some real truth about car culture and soul.
Dude you nailed it ! Perfect colour with flares and tail feathers. Like you I'm not a Vette guy but I know talent, skill and excellence I would love to have this car .
honestly id do this to a old C3. it's classy, modern, and beautiful
Pro tour classic cars are the best of both worlds🤘
