over 50 grand thats for sure
Depends if ,otors siesed they are honers but got dire brakes. Fuel tranny for sure
Not to sure, but I think quite a bit of interest.
Dry ice blast. The undercarriage
Back of dash. Vents and air plenums all filled with pooop
This reminds me of the guy who bought the 1985 Iroc Z brand new, then towed it home and put it in the back of a semi trailer for over 20 years with only 4 miles on it. Still had the window sticker on it, as well as plastic on the seats and steering wheel. My boss at the time bough it off Ebay and he let me clean it up and after a month of professional and meticulous cleaning and polishing, it looked like it rolled off the assembly line. Surprisingly it had zero rodents enter the car, not one spec of mouse poop anywhere and the inside actually still smelled brand new with no dust or dirt anywhere inside! I sold that car at auction and it now sits in a car museum and won’t be driven again. Look it up on KZhead. 85 Iroc with 4 miles and you will see the story. I’ll never forget being a part of that, it was truly amazing! Thank you Jack Oliver (My former employer, who is now passed away) for giving me the honor of being a part of that time capsule. May you rest in peace.
I remember destroying those IROCS with my 86 5.0 mustang lol.
@@MarkNOTW Was your Mullet your secret sauce?
@@RLTtizME absolutely!
This is a worthless rubber tail and front C3 its hardly worth the detailing who invests 3 grand in such a plastic toy?
Some cars have more than 4 miles coming off of the assembly line and going into the dealership. That’s incredible.
How can anyone forget about these cars for over 40 years? It's a huge garage that everyone can see every day.
Death. Disability. Destitution.
Rich people
For content only.. they fake it
Then the owner must have been pretty lonely. No wife, no family, no friends, no one. And even then, everyone can see the big garage on the property, because it is not Bruce Wayne in a bat cave. When I die, dozens of people will probably know if there is still a garage on my property. Especially as you can just see the estate/house nearby. 3:02
I want to have the kind of money where you leave three luxury cars in a garage and forget about them for 40 years
They were investments i believe
If these were investments , I'd consider putting some type of cover on the cars. Would you buy gold bars and put them on a shelf in the kitchen? Take care of those investments.
My thoughts exactly!😂
Planted cars 😮
now they're cleaned and ready to be forgotten about for another 40 years, yay
This video is not just about restoring a car; it's about respecting automotive heritage. The lesson here goes beyond the mechanics of restoration; it's about cherishing and preserving the legacy of classic automobiles. The care taken to revive this Corvette highlights the importance of maintaining cultural artifacts for future generations. It's a reminder that each vehicle, no matter its age, has a story to tell, and it's our responsibility to honor that narrative. Truly inspiring work!
I wonder if 50 years from now people will have the same outlook on a modem Corvette
On top that people have money and not care about them(cars) because they got money so its just miscellaneous and having these types of cars you have have to maintain it
Born in '69.. Grew up loving Corvettes... This gem makes my heart smile. Thank you for sharing her..
Born in "63...indeed smiles to see an old Love!
66 here, and EURO boy so never really got to see very many corvettes, But i am a old school gearhead so of curse i have known about them for ever. C 1 - 2 and 3 is where it is at for me, even if the new ones can actually also make a turn and race. For sure showered in lotto money, my garage would have to contain at least 3 corvettes. My boy Jan Magnussen senior did the corvettes well Which remind me,,,, OMG i miss the sound of the Panos cars at Le Mans.
'69er too! I loved this era Corvette. Just so beautiful. I'm not a sports car driver at all, but it feels like this is sleek and sexy. Other era cars certainly looked great too, like the Mustang, Trans Am, etc, but to me they seemed to have a much more aggressive look. This Vette has a "yeah, I'll totally kick your behind, but you can't stop looking at me."
Me too 70's and 80's most of my memory of driving in cars was 80's I got my DL in 1985. I really wanted a Toyota 4x4 pickup didn't get one until 2002. I did lot of motocross fit one bike in the back.
1964 here. Yes this car is amazingly!!! Back then, these were the cars you could only dream of owning!
The body style of this Corvette and the classic 60's Mustang are my absolute favorite cars! Thank You for bringing this car back to a showroom shine.
That was satisfying having this car cleaned and going again. What a difference.
*Quick note: the vette with the bubbled out rear window is a '79, not a '78. Great video! Cheers!*
Unlike every other detailing channel yours just keeps on getting better and better. The teamwork between you three is great, the humour and the personal touch, awesome. It's not about how fantastic you are and how amazing everyone thinks you are, it's the passion for cars. And you do sooo cool cars! Everything from all ages, not just muddy, repos or luxurycars. You're humble since you don't brag with your knowledge, you keep on asking us for advice and information. Super. Each video is also a bit different, not standardized. And by the way, PERFECT music at the end.
You have not seen White Details, the original guy these morons stole the WD moniker from.
This is such a nice message. Thank you.
Watching this video was not only satisfying (as usual), it was somewhat emotional for me. I'm 58 years old and my neighbor had a new one of these in orange back in 1978 when I was 13 years old. I lusted after that car and now I see one resurrected 45 years later. It's amazing and my reaction is hopefully understandable. This might be your best video ever
I had a 1979 L-82 4-speed, Corvette yellow with glass T-tops. Watching this video makes me yearn for it, I'd wished I never sold it. I re- lived your steps of detailing this car as I pretty much did the cleaning procedures much like you did. My significant other just purchased an 84 two tone blue so we will be busy following your steps in tackling this vehicle. Great job guys! I think I can find that jack now, lololol!
I tried to buy a new 1980 Corvette with those exact specs and color but the bank wouldn't qualify me for the loan as I was only 20 and not making a lot of money. 😢
wow! i'm flabbergasted with how amazing you both did in bringing this vintage back to life! just the fact that these cars were forgotten for so many years...great job you guys! ~watching from Hong Kong, SAR
The other two are obviously a silver anniversary and a pace car. My husband ordered a silver anniversary in 78 and is still his favorite Vette ever. And he’s had a bunch since. Right now it’s a 2003 golden anniversary and it was his last! Great video guys! Very rewarding! ❤️
Thanks…. For mentioning, as I 76 years young “” Car Nut “, from Indiana …. INDY 500, Cars, Auburn Cord DUESENBERG, etc..
I agree, the white one is not a silver anniversary but the other two are with the special paint job. I had two '78's, one a silver anniversary and a white one with beige interior. The guys did a great job!
I agree the far car is a pace car. If it's low mileage with the original Indy Pace Car door decals as the technician said in the video AND if it is one of the very few that came with the manual 4 speed, it is still VERY valuable and much sought after! Probably deep into 6 figures if with the factory 4 speed manual. However, if you'll go through the video again, you'll catch a glimpse of a wheel on the middle or rear corvette. That spoke pattern bronze color factory wheel came on 1982 bronze collector edition that came with electronic crossfire injection. This collector's edition was to mark the end of the C3 production. There were no 1983 Corvettes because they were re-tooling for the radically changed C4 in 1984. The 82 collector's edition came with the first attempt at electronic crossfire fuel injection since some C2s with the 427 big block came with mechanical fuel injection in the mid 60s. I'm pretty sure that's what is under all those many years of dirt and air pollution that has settled on all of these cars. I can't wait to see if I'm right on the so far unidentified corvette.
@@teddbare2000 Not many know that there was not an '83 Corvette. I did purchase my '84 Vette in June of '83 though. Poorly made. The new digital dashboard fail soon after I purchased it. Both left and right windows failed, and the a/c also failed in the first 2000 miles. I paid $25K for the car. That was my last American made car. Going back to the '78 Vetts, when I picked them up I circled all the scratches with a grease pencil. When I complained to the District Manager, he agreed they both needed to be repainted at their expense.
I think all the space cars are owned by the same person, some guy in texas.
Never a super-car performer, but I’ve always secretly loved the look of the C3. That red interior…wow
I had a 78 Pace car. You are correct. Not a power house, but it was a head turner. I was 27, single at that time. Those were some of the best years of my life. I got married and sold the Corvette to buy a 200 acre hobby farm. Got divorced 23 years later. I miss the Corvette everyday.
No car in the 70s or early 80s was. From Corvette to Ferrari, emissions made them all extremely underwhelming.
Man i love to see this cars running they're been sitting for 4 decades.
🥳🥳Every day with you would be a happy ending. It's about the special vibe I get from you❤️❤️
Mr. B. Here ! 🍩☕️👀😎👍. OMG that Corvette interior is unbelievable , looking forward to see how that car comes out ! One comment a viewer stated you guys were not funny , you guys are funny in your way , it shows that people today do not understand trash talking & having fun ! Good job on the Vette ! 🍩☕️👀😎👍
The reason why i love this video so much, its how clean everything is, such a saved car. And also gotta love the Corvette, best looking cars.❤
Great detailing work fellas... Brought back memories of my father and his Corvettes. He was sales manager for a Chevy dealer back in the mid 50's. He would get new Corvettes in on a Friday, throw a set of headers on, take it to the local strip and win a few, then bring it back and sell it on Monday! I was still a gleam in his eye at that time...haha... On another note, my cousin who was injured in Nam, had partially recovered by 1978, turned around and bought a silver 1978 Anniversary Edition. I got to ride in it one time, then he wrapped it around a tree and died, though his wife luckily survived. I have always held a dream in my heart to own a Corvette one day, but at 68 years old, disabled, and broke, it will always remain a dream. The crowning achievement of the design team is the 1963 split-window Stingray, and I would gladly give just about anything to own one of those. I'm sure that heaven is indeed furnished by Chevrolet, and there is most definitely a full stable of 63 splits there!!!
If you can make it a major priority in your minds eye, you can achieve whatever you want. You just might need a ton of help along the way. Its just a car, a thing, so it is attainable. Get in contact with the different Corvette societies and within a year you’ll be behind the wheel of one that you own. Do or die trying. God Bless you.
Kinda just stumbled onto this channel. Great video, great machine. I graduated from high school in 1979 so I remember these badass Corvettes very well indeed. Wow have things changed. Its still a beautiful curvy luxurious classic. They don’t make them like that anymore. 😍
I dont understand why someone would buy a car and then just leave it in a garage having never really drove it. Smh
Having a car and not driving it is like not having sex with your girl to keep her prime for the next guy
Same thing can be said about the type of owners that let some good cars rot and not sell it for someone else to enjoy it and give the love and care it deserves because "i'll fix it someday", yet that day never comes and by the time it comes it's already too far gone in some cases.
They are NUTS.
Life Happens. I don’t judge others decisions. There’s probably a Kia somewhere with low miles that will be on Barret Jackson one day. 😂
Be worth lot money in the future, untouched and low mileage? But I do agree money wasted just sitting
You should get Derek with VGG to get these running. That would be a great video!
A fella might watch that. Yup, probably would.
he's too busy playing with his balls! on that weird show he's got now with all the sponsorships with AdvanceAuto!!!
its crap
no, how ever much I like Derek, please do this properly and have the engine rebuild and replace all gaskets, rubbers and plastics first.
Yep. Who I'd start with
I admire the energy and love you put into this clean up👍👍
I always loved the late seventies vettes. Just so beautiful.
I was born in 1978. This car is beautiful. I love corvettes.
I graduated that year. 😮
This is a worthless rubber tail and front C3
Ditto. I'm a '78 model as well. Always though I wanted a 78 pontiac, but man a vette will look sick in my garage
A friend's dad had a two-tone black & silver anniversary 1978 that had less than 50 miles on it when we were in high school. Sat in the attached garage. I asked a mutual friend just a few years ago what ever happened to it (the dad had died). He said that they sold it with the same miles, but it wasn't the gem it once was. Door hinges were rusted solid, brake calipers rusted, many other rust issues. I don't know much more on details, but funny to see this nearly exact example from my teen years!! Thanks for the vid!
I have 1978 Chrysler Cordoba with 24,000 I bought it new its in a garage covered with covers when you open the door still smells like new. I bought a 1974 Pinto station wagon and almost never used the Cordoba that at the time cost 9,000 $ still have the pinto best thing I ever bought PINTOS GET A BAD RAPP I COULD ALWAYS COUNT ON MY PINTO😊
@@Rosemary-fu3hj A friend in high school had a Pinto and we abused it to no end, but it never broke down!!
Excellent work fellas! Love your cleaning techniques and I must say I'm very impressed. A lost art at best when folks now are going to drive in car wash. Thats what the weekends are for, take the time and do it yourself with family or friends at home.
You guys did an amazing job and told a story ofhow, what, and why you did what you did. I used to be interested im sports cars but you video was intriguing. Great job!!!
Dear toppers from WD Detailing, I have been following you since yesterday, because I accidentally ended up on your channel because you were polishing a car and that was a red Corvette, which was uploaded to your channel 1 year ago, and I really enjoyed it. admiration for your work! It's a shame that I live in the Netherlands, otherwise I would have come by with my gray Volkswagen Bora, because it will soon have to go to a car cleaning company! I have subscribed to your channel so I look forward to hopefully many more videos to come! Greetings, Harmjan
Wow, this restoration is incredible! Watching that Corvette come back to life after 45 years was truly satisfying. Great job on preserving such a classic gem!
🐕 dogs are really too good
Parabéns pelo belo trabalho. Melhor de quando era novo , ficou ótimo!
DampRid is FANTASTIC stuff, here in Florida it's a must in cars, garages, and sheds
Very nice work guys. A quick FYI -- it's not a 25th Anniversary "Edition" despite the nose badge stating "1953 Anniversary 1978" that all 1978 Corvettes had. The 25th Anniversary Edition cars featured a two-tone paint scheme of silver and gray.
You are correct sir
Correct
I thought that it was silver and gray under that dust. Then he opened the door and I said, "Hold up!!! Wait a minute!!!"
There was the pace car black and silver, the silver/grey anniversary edition and all other colors all still had anniversary badges. I bought the silver/Grey on my 18th birthday after looking at pace cars and other non anniversary color corvettes available that year.
Good job with cleaning...u have made a simple job of cleaning to next level and have shown that it's not that simple....and infact how important it is to clean in such a detail....very satisfying
Very interesting video. I lived thru this era and many people would buy new cars and put them away thinking they would be worth large amounts later. People did this with 76 Cadillac Eldo convertibles being the last production convertibles and vettes like these. Most people that did this were disappointed with the return because so many people did this and they were not as rare... Great video.. you guys did a great job preserving this car. Thanks for the video
Excellent job boys. Such attention to detail is so appreciated. Y'all rock.
What's crazy is how these time capsules fell into your hands, love your show.
I had the 49th 1978 Corvette built, it was white as well. I loved that car. If it hadn't been totaled, I'd still have it. I've had a number of Corvettes since (including a Z06) but the '78 is still my favorite. Good job
First time watching the channel honestly super impressed! Everything was given so much thought, time and hard work 😍
I started mechanic work in a GM Dealership in 1979. First motor job was in a 1980 that the factory left the engine oil out. I am 68 years old and made it to GM Master tech. As a young tech in his 20's there was many things that mechanics disliked because of tight access. Pulling the motor was one of them. The hood release cable was a common problem. As long as rodents did not chew up wiring it should be good to go. It seems amazing how mice can find a way inside. Things like brakes maybe rusted solid. I rebuilt many of those four piston calipers, before the stainless sleeve rebuilt calipers became available. Good luck looks Great.
WOW! That's so cool! You'd know better than us by looking at this if it's in good shape! We're hoping the rebuild is quick and painless
How well does the ozone treatment work and how long does it last?
GM mechanics are the best….lots of practice.
all engines are tested at the factory, oil had to be in it when it left. however, it does get transported where anything can happen.
These could have been built better. I had to pull my radiator in the 3rd year due to one tank started leaking that had just enough solder holding it together and leak proof to get it out the factory door. That's what the repair tech at the radiator shop that cleaned and re-soldered that tank and the other end tank while I had it out told me. Also, when it rained, water came in somewhere and dripped on the passenger's feet. But I still love mine.
OH MY GOSH! That’s an ‘82 in the background!😮
Wait til you see the mileage...
@@WDDetailing Less mileage than an 18 year old virgin?
78 pace car as well.
This video came up randomly on my home page. You kids are doing an amazing thing, rescuing these old cars. I'ma go ahead and hit that subscribe button. I want to see what the other two Corvettes look like. Keep up the great work, boys.
You guys do a stellar job. That looks brand new again. I can't wait to see you do the pace car...furthermore, can't believe they HAVE a pace car and are letting it get dirty like that. Wow!
I've told people these cars are still out there in hiding and probably in barns and sheds out of sight, you guys were in the right place at the right time on this! Lucky dogs
I hope that No Nonsense Know How is the mechanic you will use. By far the best real mechanic on KZhead. Great video!
Nope he is too rough for cars like these.
Not only is the video pretty cool, but the beats at the detailing part are pure bliss too!
Thank you very much, blessings to all 🙏
I am a 54 year old man, I can bet everything I saw on this video was legit. Those interiors tell you the story, those are from our days. There's no way this vehicle used much. This was a brand new vehicle left in the garage for 45 years, without a doubt. Awesome video. Subbed and liked, would like to watch the other two cars too.
Yeah right! You are gullible, my friend.
I looked at a new white '78 Z-28 with T-Tops and Carmine Red interior same as this Corvette, almost bought it the dealer wanted $7200 but I didn't care for the color scheme so I bought from a different dealer Forest Green and Camel Tan interior. The engine in this '78 corvette and my '78 Z-28 were both 350 V8, same emission layout and same interior materials and hardware. It's all legit.
Ditto! 💯💕
i'm 66 and agree with the things you said. the leather is classic... ok, maybe they put new tires on her as I'm sure that old rubber was dried, cracked and just plain ugly...if it weren't for the rodents, the interior would have been perfectly new.
sure thing that why the rubbers are in brand new shape even the tires are while they going to rod after 8 years lmao
One of your best Transformations!! Great job guys 😎
What a pleasure to watch you, peeling this white pearl out of the dirt… great job.
I was never a fan of the mid to late 70's Vettes, but you guys really did a fantastic job cleaning this one to look brand new again!
Just love your work. Thanks from Australia 🇦🇺
England truly appreciates your hard graft. Phenomenal transformation. Such a great video to watch. Awesome work guys. 🇬🇧❤
I am a car enthusiast because of this car. My grandfather had a 1981 Stingray and it was a beauty… I loved this video. I’ll be waiting for the other 2 videos. I wish I could share this with him one last time😔
Damn you guys Kick ass and help rebuild the front for storage....I remember when i was young helping my Dad restore his old cars....This kinda stuff builds Memories
One of the best classics ever made 👍🏾🔥
I owned a '77 and a '74....the '74 I built with a 450hp stroker..... Hands down, the C3 is the sexiest Corvette series EVER..... Gorgeous automobiles...... But I got rid of them for my dream car - my 'Cuda 👍
I agree! The C3 body style was revolutionary.
I still prefer the C2, but the C3 is also a great looking car.
@jeffrowlette. You call the C3 is the sexiest Corvette series EVER..... and your cuda is your dream car------------ Oh dear !!
I'm proud of you young gentlemen for your hard work 💪 & detailing this old 🇱🇷 corvette , my best friend in Riverton Wyoming hat similar Corvette 2 years younger than the Corvette you working on, had less than 6,000 mi on his Corvette, sold it for $30,000. For Corvette lovers is priceless. When I was growing up my friends in my hometown called me the Corvette boy. I love what you did in this video.good day 🇱🇷
So gratifying to see all that dirt melting off, you guys did a wonderful job.
The Predator race would be so proud of you guys claiming all those skulls 😉

My dad had the exact same one. When I was 12 years old he got so drunk at my uncle’s I had to drive us home,it was about 60 miles. When we got home I told my mom I drove from uncle Tony’s and she said no you didn’t and I said I really did. She goes outside and he’s passed out in the passenger seat and she started screaming and yelling at him. He gets in the driver seat and puts it in drive instead of reverse and smashed through the garage door. In those days a DWI was like a parking ticket . If anybody is wondering what he was drinking,it was a quart of Canadian Club.
Funny and sad story 😂

I love looking into the past through the car door. Nice work.
I love the honesty and transparency. Instant sub! I like hearing "We do it for the content" better than, "We do it for the community."
One of your best restoration videos ❤
Thank you so much!
Wow. Just, wow.
The next two...... I don't know if "wow" will suffice
I always loved the lines of the C3 more than other models, even though the mechanical stuff was definitely sub par. But the mechanical stuff can be upgraded and then you have pure style.
My dad had a '78 silver Anniversary edition as well, I loved that car!
So my grandmother had a 71 t-top stingray. When they still had chrome bumpers. She took me traveling in it. In the back behind the seats was a small compartment. I was so little I would take my blanket and sleep back there between states.
Fabulous! I can't wait to see those other Corvette's.
Stay tuned :)
@@WDDetailing My guess is Dennis Collins for the mechanical work.
WOW! That car takes me back to the days when I was young and could not afford a car like that. Great work guys!
Why is this so satisfying to watch . It’s just washing a car !! But for some reason I really enjoy it. Maybe it’s the restoration factor. Well done guys.
Let hope the owner finally looks after these amazing cars after 46 years of neglect great jobs guys🙏🏻
He did'nt, why would he syart now? an example of what too much money can do.
Probably next generation owner now?
Top job Boys, what a stash👍 can't wait for the next one. Owner need to contact Dennis Collins, he will paid the raight price for them👌 Outstanding 😁
I'll bet Dennis Collins ends up with all 3 of them.
Hell No! That's the last person that should get these cars!
My first thought was mha, an old Vette. OMG you took me back teen years. I loved this episode, great job thank you
That was a sweet ride! I remember when they were brand new! I'm 59 years old and have yet to ride in one, sadly. Always wanted too.
I’d see if you can get all the cars out of that garage and then maybe do an episode on cleaning the garage. Make it look like a vette showroom.
My guess is once they’re all done they head to Barret-Jackson.
@@StevenSmith-pt8rz I have a 75 vette that sat in a field for 15 years. It’s a mess. Got it running well now tho and on to paint and etc.
@@StevenSmith-pt8rz The owner mentioned that as a possibility

Great work and detailing guys. Will have to send you some pictures of my Lotus Cortina mk1 1966, and very early flat floor e type Jag FHC no 65, which is undergoing a mechanical refresh and engine rebuild, Both beautiful machines. Owned the e type since 1979 and the LC MK1 since 2017. Julian UK.
corvettes are so pretty, i hope some day i'll get one, been my dream car forever.
Damn. Best video by far from y’all. Can’t wait for other two cars!
Thank you so much!
The far end one looks to be a 78-82 Indy 500 Pace Car Edition. Hell of a collection.
Indy 500 was only offered in 1978.
@@jaysrandomnesschannel I don't follow Vettes that closely but good to know, thanks
Love watching you guys resurrect these old beauties!
Muy buen trabajo de restauración, también soy un fanático de restaurar autos, fue toda una experiencia y aprendizaje verlos trabajar. Felicitaciones
Criminal for them to be left to rot all these. Years they have to be gone thru. And rehabbed..
Beautiful, congratulations ❤❤❤❤
I am so excited to see those tires, I sure miss good quality tires from the old days! Excellent clean job on the whole thing!
Nice job! Instead of DampRid, install a dehumidifier in the garage with a drain hose to discharge outdoors. DampRid is a one-time use product and will fill up very quickly (like a couple of days) and do nothing more after it fills up.
Another gem, gentlemen.
Send it to The Car Wizard!
That's my guess of where it is going for the mechanical repairs that it needs.
He doesnt repair classic cars any longer
I love old cars they remind me of my dad as a kid ❤ my uncle still has 2 rusted out 1972 Ford Mustangs sitting in his backyard just rotting way and i have no idea why. 😢 one's cherry red the other midnight black. But I think my favorite was my dad's 1969 white El Camino we grew up riding around in as children ❤
you have a wonderful work.. you've done it perfectly
Weird that someone bought these cars purely as investments, put them in a once heated garage, and then left everything to deteriorate like that. Wonder if the original owner died, and his kids didn't understand the importance of looking after things...
Might not have had kids and it was inherited by someone who didn't know it was there or value cars. It's been 40 years, it's could have been inherited several times by now.
Even with the low mileage, these cars are not that desirable, it’s to bad the owner decided to let them sit without at least doing the basics to preserve them. To be viable vehicles they will need a complete going through, not just a cleaning, you did a great job of making it look presentable. 👍
Back in those days, I would flip that breather cover in order to hear that 4 barrel carburetor when it opened up. It was a sweet sound.
What I've found that works great on white paint is a 50/50 mix of water and bleach, with dawn dish soap , it works fantastic on white cars with soft sponges, let it sit ,the wipe as you rinse ,WORKS AWESOME 😊
