Buying a 1976 Corvette Stingray that’s been sitting for 10 years! Will it start?

Описание: In this video I am attempting to start a 1976 C3 Corvette Stingray that’s been sitting in my great uncles garage/barn for 10 years. I told him if I can get it running and driving I would buy it.

With the help of a friend code named The Swan, we replaced the spark plugs, changed the oil, siphoned out the old gas and replaced it with fresh gas, and popped in a new battery.

After 3 trips to parts stores and the above mentioned list being completed, within about 5-10 min of trying, we got it to fire right up. The issue we then ran into was that the breaks had seized or were stuck. After giving it the beans a bit, Swan was able to get it to drive out of the garage.

There was no break pressure so a test drive was out of the question. The next video/task will be to get the breaks either bled or just straight up changed. Once that happens I will take it for its first spin in 10 years!

I am extremely excited to have the opportunity to own this car. I am looking forward to the many videos in which it will be featured. Thanks again to The Swan for helping me get it running, and thank you to my great uncle Bob for giving me a great deal on the car.

Enjoy the video!
