A 1970 Corvette that spent years abandoned and neglected has been torn down to bare fiberglass and rebuilt from the ground up — chrome, engine bay, and all. This was one of the lowest-production years of the entire C3 generation, and it still carries the last full chrome face before federal bumper rules changed the car’s look for good. What started as a write-off ends up looking, and running, like it never sat still at all. Watch to see just how far this transformation goes.
Lou Costabile found something rare at Rosemont’s World of Wheels show: a 1972 Corvette Stingray in Cascade Green paint, still with the same owner who bought it new nearly 50 years ago. No restoration story, no reconstruction guesswork — just one person’s decision, repeated for five decades, to keep the car instead of selling it. Viewers are already calling it one of the best ’72s they’ve ever seen. Watch to hear the full story behind the color and the miles.
A veteran auto upholsterer with almost fifty years in the trade breaks down a full seat restoration on a 1975 Corvette, from pattern making and foam shaping to dying the surrounding vinyl and plastic trim. It’s the kind of hands-on knowledge most restorers pay a shop thousands of dollars to access, laid out step by step for anyone willing to try it themselves. See what actually separates a seat that looks restored from one that feels factory-correct again.
