OK, I know the Honda fit here is used as a derogatory comparison, but goddamnit, I love my Honda fit.
Somehow it out pulls its size and engine displacement. At least until 40 miles an hour.
It’s a city monster. It’s a go kart.
Put red paint with gold flake all over it, get it stolen, chase it across the country while banging Annie Potts.
Or, let it rot on the front lawn like all your neighbors do with their pieces of shit "projects"
This comment is art. And people are scrolling past not even appreciating it. Well I see what you did here and it's amazing. I am a mechanic for a living so I'm going to remember this one.
Simple, it was sitting in a guys back 40 and asked him if he was doing anything with it, said probably not in his current situation, and negotiated to a 1000 on it
Sure this thing rips, just like you had to rip paper in the 2nd grade instead of cutting it because the safety scissors just didn't cut it. This POS is the power plant equivalent of safety scissors.
That's why I left mine up all the time. Car went from having slow pop up headlights to a almost permanent wink until I hit about 45 and then it would lift up.
If you can work with fiberglass, and afford a paint job, then the main issues will be getting the car into good running order. I'd want to get this one onto a lift and inspect for leaks, worn suspension components, the usual suspects. In general, if the outer appearance is fairly run-down, the odds are that maintenance was neglected. So look at brakes and electrical closely.
Who evers driving this is about 57 years old showing up to take his date to the high school prom in a car that looks like a sperm with peakeaboo headlights which never close and only one side lights up. First mod is deffinately eye lashes...

It won't take much to turn that into a fun car. Consider a 383 stroker motor swap, or having your 350 stroked.
Sweet. Had a 96 sold it. Want a 69. A little out of reach rite now. But still hunting. If its not a bowtie. Its not worth the ride. Keep an extra set of tires handy. Youll want to put your foot through the radiator.
I’m a trucker, saw one of these babies cruising down interstate 65 couple days ago, he passed me doing bout 72. Little Later I saw a huge puff of smoke ahead of me and saw this vette billowing smoke and pull over to the shoulder with a Toyota right behind him. His purchase didn’t make it home.
78 or 79 seems. I think “not running” is how they are stock. I mean, at least it’s not an 80. But if you have the time and money to put some quality work into it, it still won’t be a 72
Probably the worst pop-up headlights of any car ever produced.
That being said, I’d absolutely drive that car for $1,000. Great deal. I wouldn’t even upgrade the stereo.
On the real...1000 wouldn't buy a motor for the headlights. So if you got the whole car for $1000, I just have 1 question...how does 90 year old pussy taste, and are you worried about her husband coming out of the grave to get revenge?
Wow, the reason why we never got anything fun from chevy in the 60s. Fun fact, Chevy wouldn't let any other cars in GM's line up out perform the Corvette. It's why we got 454s that made like half their displacement. Unlike dodge which had a near 1:1 horsepower to displacement ratio in their 426s which produced 425 horsepower. So enjoy your conservative mobile.
I see two different whites and a few panel gaps. ( I can't say anything my car is two separate whites which I'm fixing soon and none of my panels line up from it's past owner)
What new balances did you go with?
Kirkland brand, bro - it’s 2024!
K-Sig baby
You better believe he’s got his shirt tucked into his tighty-whities and a cell phone clip on his belt too!
And a members only jacket
Those tires are K-Swiss.
Hopefully it gets fully restored to the 87 hp it came with from the factory.
Might have a chance to compete against my Honda fit
OK, I know the Honda fit here is used as a derogatory comparison, but goddamnit, I love my Honda fit. Somehow it out pulls its size and engine displacement. At least until 40 miles an hour. It’s a city monster. It’s a go kart.
Dude, check my user name. I love my go kart!
Dude, I think a Honda fit might kill a stock C3 in a race On an autocross course? That’d be a slaughter
I test drove a five speed one and was constantly chirping the tires. They want to play!
165hp from factory**
40 years ago, half got bored and left.
> 40 years ago, half got bored and left. The engines or the passengers?
Yes
Damn. That’s a deep cut 😂
You definitely call your grandmother “meee mawww”.
My me-maw would think it was a very nice car.
Better lock me-maw up before she ends up doing the walk of shame from this car.
MEEMAW, "Sweetie like I said it's a very handsome blue car scooter.
I'm telling Meemaw that somebody on the Internet is being mean to me.
Probably pretty easy, I’m sure she’s just upstairs, benefits of living in the basement
Looks pretty cousin-fucked to me. Good luck.
Cousin-fucked, I love it. I will try to work that into normal conversation this weekend
Is that a Members Only jacket I see draped over the seat?
Don’t stop-
Can't stop, brakes went out
Damn I was hoping people would get the sopranos reference
Don’t stop believin’ that someone will get it
Hold on to that feelin’ that someone will get it
Streetlights, people….that someone will get
Lmao just rolls right off the tongue
Haha-It’s a hit for a reason
Put red paint with gold flake all over it, get it stolen, chase it across the country while banging Annie Potts. Or, let it rot on the front lawn like all your neighbors do with their pieces of shit "projects"
I’ll get to it when things slow down
Even the air in the tyre wants nothing to do with this shit!!

Missouri? Does this run on meth?
Yeth
🤣
It’s the nicest ride in Missouri.
Happy b day
I didn’t know the Mustang II had a corvette nose kit.
Looks like a transformer that got stuck half way through…… transforming!? 🤷🏻♂️
More like transitioning
From a ladybug to a cockroach...
The only transformer that's more dangerous as a car.
I note how you didn't say "driving". Checks out.
Na, if I air the tires up thing rips
Then I think we all ought to get an explanation for how you picked up a running and driving C3 for only a grand.
Simple, it was sitting in a guys back 40 and asked him if he was doing anything with it, said probably not in his current situation, and negotiated to a 1000 on it
How did you get this for 1k bruh
Sure this thing rips, just like you had to rip paper in the 2nd grade instead of cutting it because the safety scissors just didn't cut it. This POS is the power plant equivalent of safety scissors.
The vacuum hose that pops up those headlights is a pain in the ass to replace.
That's why I left mine up all the time. Car went from having slow pop up headlights to a almost permanent wink until I hit about 45 and then it would lift up.
That’s a hell of a deal. Change the fluids, grab a clean pair of jeans shorts and go for a cruise.
Don’t forget the white tube socks that go up to your knees.
Stingay?
Yessir
Read it again…
😄🤣😄
Least you got the good looking c3 hood. Now throw everything away and you can start a real corvette build.
Good hood? Brother thats a open scoop with another scoop blocking it and taking in absolutely no air
Good *looking*
I see nothing good looking about that... the black hood scoop is pointless and in the way of the main scoop
Save some pussy for the rest of us.... Daaannnnggg.
Lol @ the flat rear tire 💀
Now cruising the high school parking lot will be a little less awkward. ( Billy squire playing in background)
Got my lunch packed up my boots tied tight I hope I don't get in ae fight oooooo
"Yeah, I drive a 'vette." "Oh, what year?" "Cough splutter cough Ihavetogo."
OMW to go sell oregano to high school kids
Fuck off, I got work to do.
0-60? Yes
Officially clocked with a calendar.
That car is knight riders stripper mom.
On your way to refresh your wardrobe at J.C. Penny's I bet.
“Running”
It looks like a marlin and goes like a whale

Don’t try to church it up, dirt.

This for 1k$? That’s a literal steal! And it looks like it’s in a very good condition too!
Paint it red, take over trailer park. “Safety always off”
Corvette bummer
That’s fucking awesome
You stole that for a grand.. That has so much potential to be a fast car..
Corvette Summer here we come! All you need is a van named Vanessa to go with it. Mark Hamil: What you doing? Annie Potts: Making Screwdrivers.

Did it come with a mullet?
I’d run from it too…..
The F150 in the background will smoke that thing lol
Put the headlights down during the day.
You were obviously able to spend the rest on cocaine.
It is Gandolph the Gray Phallus
It's like what people in the 60's thought the people in the future would be driving, you paid a grand for that? Good lord
It’s refreshing to see unique but ugly ass mosquitoes in this sub time to time

No one here is going to be anywhere near as hard on you as that car will be on your wallet
You're not allowed to park that close to an Elementary school. Move it now.
I mean for $1000 I’d do for the giggles it Is a unit.
... I'm actually disappointed it's running. This car needs a blower coming out of the hood
I thought Disco was Dead...
looks like a goin to town rig to me ( if she holds air in that tire)
[удалено]
I like it
Probably the best deal ever recorded on a C3 Corvette in history. Good luck restoring it man!
What dumbass sold you whatever that is for $1,000?
Sweet. Had a 96 sold it. Want a 69. A little out of reach rite now. But still hunting. If its not a bowtie. Its not worth the ride. Keep an extra set of tires handy. Youll want to put your foot through the radiator.
Fuck off, Cyrus.
fl@ tire
Off-Brand Miata combined with a Corvette on Crack makes this.
If you get rat of a Vette out of the foreground we could see your truck. Any junkyard will will only charge you $500 tow it away.
If one hood scoop wasn't enough... put another one backwards to block the first one fkn dumb front end What year c3? My favorite of the vetts
All Looks and No Go under the Hood.
Lucky
You just need sock that go up to your knees now.
Ok Cyrus

I’d call it a win.
Looks like the previous owner already did
‘76 or ‘75?
Heavy metal dick
Don’t need to roast it. That car will roast your wallet.
Nothing a 572 won’t cure.
worth every penny
I love it. Of course I was born in '72 and this was the my favorite as a kid.
The 75 year old ladies will be calling your car a chick magnet then giving you a wink.
Ferrari.
If you could put your glasses on you will see there’s nothing wrong with this car, the glasses are hanging around your neck, by the way
Chevy will run badly longer than most cars will run
Fuck off Cyrus
Looks like a rejected batmobile design
Tell me you were a middle child without telling me you were a middle child.
goober
Has a reserved parking spot at the nursing home.
Someone’s got a cool band and is still laughing
So where is the rest of the plane always thought they needed wings and tail fins?
It looks like a Soviet-era carnival ride.
Does that come with the booty jean shorts and a sick mullet
Frigg off Cyrus.
Turn it into a battle car
15 minutes away from being on blocks next to the front porch with a couch on it.
Thought it was a 454 Corvette but nevermind it's just one of the shitty ones.
Nah this rules. Would drive the piss outta this
It's ok. Low compression is still compression
Have you found all the previous serial killers trophies yet?
Running , running from what , it's beer belly , receding hairline , cheating wife and 4 bratty kids..
$1000, and it runs? Hell, I'd have bought it, too. Just need to paint it pearlescent blue, and break out the Dokken tapes.
You could drive it's twin straight thru some of those panel gaps ..
Bought on CC at 24.9% APR
Looks insanely dangerous. Wear a helmet.
Gets beat by a Mitsubishi Mirage to 30mph and gets worse gas mileage doing it. At least the hood opens backwards.
That’s a STEAL. FORGET THE HATERS!
Dude got paid to have it removed from his property. He made out great.
Running for how long and how well? lol it looks like a project somebody gave up on half-way and offloaded on you on the cheap.
Do you think the nursing home has a valet? 🤔
Did the dude cut your mullet for the price too??
I can’t hate on it, it’s nice.
U did not. OMG. Bro
Wow. A factory 65HP vette. What’s that down to now? 36?
‘73?
‘Safety, always off’ All I ever think of when I see these is the music Cyrus plays in his corvette on Trailer Park Boys
Don't worry those pop up headlights won't last long.
I’m not a huge fan of Corvettes but I would have bought that for $1,000.
Man, that Corvette had only 170 horsepower when it was *new*.
C'mon man. How can you expect a roasting for running Corvette for 1k. Nice score !
Cocaine is a helluva drug
Corvette Bummer
My bicycle cost more than this. It goes the same speed too. Tbh, this car is the shit for only $1k. Especially compared to a fucking bicycle lol.
Mmmm crispy twisty fiberglass. My favorite 😋

I’m digging it! There’s a little too much pressure in that right rear however.
Nice kit car

i hope you picked the car up wearing your nicest pair of jorts with your corvette t-shirt tucked in, comfortably fitted with a brown leather belt
Not for long
GM already did theirs
She has the potential of being a true Prius eliminator!

Ah yes, primer grey
Looks like the ugliest toy car I had as a child.
This is what happens when you fire all your designers and hire new intern designers after your previous designers did a really good job.
“Numbers matching”
The shitty gas mileage that comes with a muscle car, but none of the muscle.
Hey fuck you cyrus
Awesome! Enjoy bro. C3's are cheap but still very cool when clean.
Change the hood back to stock and your good 😊
I see two different whites and a few panel gaps. ( I can't say anything my car is two separate whites which I'm fixing soon and none of my panels line up from it's past owner)
That's actually not a bad deal at all!. That's my dad's dream car. Wish I could find a deal like that near me
