Car enthusiasts: what model is this Corvette?

[Brunch@Five]

saw this one around the corner from my flat, supposedly for sale:

sick car IMO

[DukeDelonte13]

kinda looks like a heavily customized early eighties corvette. It's definitely in that "crossfire injection" generation. One of my buddies has one.

that's what I thought at first, but the one on the OP is a hatchback...

[Nanners]

this is an 82 corvette.

[MadeFromDust]

That would fall under the general category of a C3 vette

I'm drooling here.

[gts]

it's a heavily modified 79 or earlier looking at the bumpers somewhere between 75-79

[9erempiree]

Too bad it is not original.

It became Euro trash with the aero kit.

Leave the Euros to F up a very beautiful car.:facepalm

[MadeFromDust]

The C3 vettes are actually slow as shiite, make no power, and too heavy despite fiberglass body, totally undesirable vehicles -_-

[Thorpesaurous]

I would guess 69 too based on the rolled rear window. That was the first year of that rolled window. My father had a 68 convertible, and that had what they called the sugar scoop window, where the windshield itself was flat, but it had sides that ran off the body to make it look like a sugar scoop.

But 69 through about 73 or so I can't really tell the difference. I know my father had the same squeeze trigger door handles that are on this one, that's what makes me think 69. The little air vent along the front fender just before the door I know is a giveaway for a lot of people, as are the taillights, but I don't them that well. And that whole rear end, with the rolled spoiler and lipped rear wheel well appear to be total body kit items.

Personally my favorites are the 63, but it's gotta be the hard top because it's got the split rear window. Otherwise 63 - 66 look pretty much the same.

And I like the 56 mostly because my father has one.

Absolutely not a '69. '69 have chrome front and rear bumpers, shark gill fender louvers, much sleeker curves, "Stingray" badging, and basically don't have much in common with that car.

Note the many differences here:

As mentioned, that appears to be like a '78-'82 C3. Whatever it is, it's a total piece of shit and chances are whatever you're driving right now would blow it off the road.

Not entirely true. In '69, the big blocks got up to 435hp/460lb/ft, with the standard 327 being 300hp/380ft/lb. Power didn't completely evaporate until the mid-70s.

Like I said slow as shiite :roll: I had a 4-dr daily driver that would smoke even that big block C3

What 4-door daily driver did you have that could do 0-60 in 5 flat? Of course technology has advanced by leaps and bounds, but let's not act like a '69 Vette BB would get the doors blown off it by a Honda Accord.:oldlol: 5 seconds is still pretty quick.

Even disregarding that, you said they had no power - which is just flat out false. They didn't totally gut them 'til the mid '70s.

Flat out false? lol So you're telling me you think 400 at the crank is a lot of horsepower? When my 4-dr daily freaking driver put that down at the wheels? GTFO :roll:

[dunksby]

Could be a late 70s Vette, but it's heavily modified and it hurts my eyes.

[johndeeregreen]

At the time absolutely it was a lot of power. Even now, 435 isn't negligible, let's not act like it is. It steadily declined to humiliatingly low levels through the decade, but to act like every C3 was gutless is a fabrication. Although you seem to have a pretty well built complex about admitting that you could have been mistaken about anything.

Why I'm arguing with a troll is beyond me anyway.

This what I thought the whole time I was reading this shit.... like we know cars, he's a dumbass.

[MadeFromDust]

Obviously you two diipshiites are out of touch with the horsepower game. To you 400 crank HP = omg omg lmao :roll: This thread calls for car enthusiasts present tense not someone who once had a old uncle that might've been into cars back in the '70s so that makes you an expert on performance. My statements about slow ass heavy powerless C3 vettes stand, even if you want to magnify EXCEPTIONS over the RULE :rolleyes:

Best C3 performance

1969 Chevrolet Corvette 427 0-60 mph 5.2 Quarter mile 13.8
1970 Chevrolet Corvette 427 0-60 mph 6.0 Quarter mile 14.1


It's even worse than I thought. I wouldn't even need my 4-dr for that weak showing. My current daily driver which is my slowest car by FAR would walk that big block /smh too funny


Now the typical C3 that 99.9% actually sees occasionally out there or owns.

1973 Corvette (350ci) L82 0-60 mph 6.6 Quarter mile 14.9
1973 Corvette (454ci) 0-60 mph 6.3 Quarter mile 14.4
1976 Chevrolet Corvette 0-60 mph 8.0 Quarter mile 16.3
1977 Chevrolet Corvette 0-60 mph 8.7 Quarter mile 16.4
1979 Chevrolet Corvette L82 0-60 mph 7.2 Quarter mile 15.5
1980 Chevrolet Corvette L82 0-60 mph 7.3 Quarter mile 15.2
1982 Chevrolet Corvette 0-60 mph 9.1 Quarter mile 16.4

400hp ain't shiite Get over it :rolleyes:

My daily driver is faster than yours with less than 400 hp.

Hey I would be glad if it actually was but according to your stats you posted on the next reply you're slower than that early big block C3 whereas I would walk it :confusedshrug: :no:
