I bought a classic Corvette for only $3500. 

Bedankt

I have no idea how RU-vid got me here but good lord did I love this freaking video. Your passion hit me right in the heart man. Well done sir, keep it up.

Gotham portrayed you as a guy who didn’t want to get your hands dirty . Nice job, looking forward to seeing more of your content! 👍🏻

This is SO much better than the show on Netflix! I had no idea the passion you have for cars and you work on them yourself! Nice job! I've subscribed!

Bro, this guy's is not only hilarious but the love his has for these cars is contagious.

IDK where this dude came from but with such a nice shop, charismatic personality, and fun project ideas, I see this channel skyrocketing to the top.

"I got no brakes!" "I gotta go for a test drive!" You crack me up. I had a lot of fun watching this video. Nice job. Subscribed.

Come back! We need more videos! You can’t leave us hanging like this! Your content is 🔥!

"I've gotta get out of here and... do some breathing." Caught me of guard and made me laugh. Great video!

My vote is for the Ontario Orange metallic, not many cars that color.

I think back to original color would be the best bet. p.s. Flying Sparks Garage is working on their c6 & could certainly use some advice. Emily & Aaron are pretty cool folks.

Seeing your passion for corvette is unreal, nice to see you having a good time outside of GG keep up with the passion Shawn loving it ! 🙌🏻

This guy is the Steve Irwin of Corvettes!

When Shawn walked backed with the empty gas can, I died of laughter.

Walking away with the empty gas can with a fade out was actually kind of poetic. I'm kinda blown away by this video because I just haven't seen anything like this in a long time

Been watching Rust to riches to disengage a bit in the evenings, this channel is a pleasant surprise - hope it takes off for you Shawn. I think one thing that isn't touched on much in shows like this is the true cost of parts + time and actual profit, especially over a period ( some projects pay off more than others etc. )

What's happening with your videos, just discovered your channel, it's brilliant don't stop man I was looking forward to more videos,then was disappointed to discover only the four , in please we want MORE!!!!!?!!!??

Put hose into pop bottle with brake fluid. Open bleeder. Pump away. Push out air bubbles. Been doing it for 30 yrs

I really want you to make it. The old show made you seem like a joke. You are a hard worker,smart, and are doing your own video work. Smart man. Too much respect for you

You are the most entertaining and likeable and really knowledgeable car guy i have ever seen before and I've been around car people my entire life !!! Congratulations !!! You just made my day with this video and the burnout tire smoke show's !!! Thank you

The burnout in front of buddies gated house..lol.....These videos are gold...keep them comin...I stumbled on this by accident like many probly did.....

Shawn, honestly I never would’ve thought it was originally orange. So I went and looked this car up in its original 1971 Ontario Orange, and I have to say, it looked pretty darn good in that color. Then I remembered that years ago a friend had an AMAZING looking Fender Stratocaster guitar in “Burnt Candy Tangerine”, so I did a search on that color, and found several hot rods that had been done in that color. You should take a look at that and consider Burnt Candy Tangerine for this Vette. It would hold some of the original appeal, but look a hundred times as amazing. Great find my friend! - A fan of old Vettes from New Hampshire

Shawn, you rock! GG portrays you as a snobby deal geek, but you are hands-on and quick to diagnose. PAINT IT SEA FOAM GREEN

I just subscribed, Shawn your my favorite guy in Gotham Garage but also I love Corvettes and its cool to see your knowledge on them and the junkyard full of them!! So awesome! I'll be checking in on your channel for new videos now 👍

Shawn I love your videos. Your knowledge and personality ROCK.

What's really awesome about this car is that it's a manual, not an automatic.👌

Netflix should give you your own show bro! This is quality content.

Shawn, you were the best personality on the show. hats off to you mate and wish you all the best! Easiest subscribe ive clicked!

Great buy, great price, and a great mechanic; oh’ and a great Video! Still tinkering with my old 95 vet, and still much fun. Get more time, I will watch more of about your 71 model here!

I watched you and Gotham crew when I was going thru chemo, so much thanks for keeping my tired brain entertained. This reminded me of my days in LA when that vette was new, damn I miss the early 70’s , racing at Riverside drive and cruising at Van Nuys Blvd. Keep up the awesome content! Subscribe!

Damn bro I knew you’re a Corvette enthusiast but I didn’t know it was this deep…It was nice seeing you go through the trials and error process. I think it will inspire more people to go out there and do it themselves. Awesome channel 👍🏼

First video watching you and I'm hooked. Love that dune buggy style red Vette! Your joyful mannerism boasts excitement to my viewership! Thanks and. excited to see more! Donation added.

Incredible, you made quick work of this one, Shawn. Awesome job!! fist bumps from Canada

Shawn I just found your channel today. Love your content and your energy and vibe are amazing as well. This corvette fan and owner has subscribed.

Shawn, that '71 Stingray was a great buy. If that is the original long block in it, then the '71 has higher compression than a smog pump equipped '72, eh? I think that particular Vette body style looks fantastic in Black or White, in my opinion. Your "parts yard" is impressive. Happy to be a subscriber. Best of Luck!

I just happened upon your videos and completely fell in love with your presentation and I am a Corvette lover. I just bought my first Corvette it’s a C8 2023 hardtop convertible three LT. I wish I had your skills I would definitely rebuild Corvettes it would be awesome but I really enjoy watching your videos and thank you very much.

Just stumbled across this guy and I love his content, he's so genuine

The original color it came with would definitely raise someone's attention it's not my car but if it has 64k on the milage, number matched, then you already know it's value, seems your luck is off to a better horizon, liked the show, presentation as well 😁

If the block and head numbers match the car I would go with the original Ontario Orange. It was one of my favorite colors anyway. I also liked the War Bonnet yellow for '71. I had my '71 big block painted with Dupont Imron Seminole red metallic and it looked really good. You can never go wrong with any red or black on the C3 Vettes. Just go with whatever color appeals to you!

My dad had a 79 that he sold because of medical issues. Glad your channel came up on my RU-vid feed. Can't wait to watch more.

Great video quality, love all of it, great editing, content, please keep making more. Makes me want a Vette

Man what an episode!! I absolutely loved this old school Corvette restoration, keep 'em coming! 🔥

Dude this guy breaks it down so easily to understand and how to diagnose a car! I barely know anything about cars 😂 keep on making these videos brotha !!

Not just entertaining but educational as well great Shawn well done! Keep it up 👍 You always were fun to watch in Gotham garage great show by the way me and my kid loved it

My favourite car, so pleased to see there are still people around with the expertise and enthusiasm to keep them running.

Really enjoyed the video and your energy. Can’t wait for the follow up video! Love that you’re explaining the real time diagnoses and showing how it’s done.

Omg this was so awesome to watch and see Shawn’s pure joy in bringing this car back to life. I’ve always liked him on Gotham garage and this confirms that he’s a passionate and genuine guy. Love it!

Man you are the man, it always fun seeing you on the other show, as others glad to have found your channel. keep it going brother!!

This is the best car show in a very long time. I always thought you where the person that actually knew what he was talking about in that netflix show. Finally a real mechanic making an entertaining show. 5stars 👍👍

Great find, man ! Congratulations, and I hope you're having a great time fixing it up. Hopefully we will get another video of this one as you move forward with the restoration.

Just found your channel…. Loving it mate keep up the good work very entertaining. From the uk .

Very entertaining video not sure how you’re video popped up but it was very cool to see. Great deal on the 3500 corvette!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤙🏽

Dude is a cross between David Spade and Dana Carvey. Excellent Channel! For wheels that are locked up you can put fiberglass cafeteria trays under each stuck wheel. They will slide like butter.

That's an incredible find for 3500! Nice buy and I would put it back the original color That will add value and that car is worth it being wreck free! But you know that already.

Bro, you are just awesome. There are a few times that RU-vid gives me fantastic recommendations, and THIS is definitely one of them.

Well you did good. A while back I bought a '77 for $3000. Several years and $20,000 later I had a real nice restomod. Drove it for a few years and then sold it for $17,000, used that money towards an '06 coupe. Great cars these Vettes.

Oh man... I bumped into your video by accident. Love how you're doing it! Keep it real, show the fails and celebrate the wins!

Thanks Shawn for this entertaining and informative video. You're a Corvette mechanic genius. Keep up your labor of love. Shout out from NYC.

Not sure how I landed on this page after viewing old jags, but this was so fun to watch! Great find and great job with the vette!

I’m so glad i found your channel, great content! Fun to watch 💯

Dude.. Shawn... How in this wild and crazy world do you *not* have 500k+ subscribers??! Man your camera work, content, and most importantly your personality are incredible. This video is the first one I've seen of yours. It caught my eye when it came across my feed and this is where the story begins lol. I'm very ecstatic to have ran across your channel, man, now I've got a new favorite one to watch for sure! Take care, brother. --JW from Middle Tennessee *Edit: Alright, I just clicked on the channel and seen the two uploads, and also you're on Netflix as well. So all that fantastic camera work and inviting personality makes sense now 😆 I'll have to click on Netflix and check it out.. I rarely ever watch that platform, hence why I haven't seen your work before. I'm still a fan though, brother man! Lol

Oh man, the brake bleeding part was hilarious! Great score with this Vette!

Shwan, in the show I liked your character, but here you rock man. Excellent work I look forward all your videos

How the heck do you not have more than a million subs.... You put so much into your videos and I LOVE ITTT!!!! Glad to be here

This upload is awesome. Although I'm a casual watcher of channels like this one and I don't know a lot of about cars, I enjoy these types of show. If this channel keeps making contents like this, it will reach 1M subscribers soon. Content is great; there's humor, knowledge and drama to overcome.

How are you not more popular, what charm, what passion and what energy. You are amazing sir, reminds me of the roadkill episodes here on youtube and I love those!

Your freakin awesome Shawn!!!! Loving the content. I was bummed to see Gotham Garage end. And, I feel you were the main character.

Aaah I love older BMWs but 70’s Corvettes I have a liking to. Nice to see your Channel Mr Pilot

I don’t own a Vette but Shawn’s videos are so entertaining. Keep ‘em coming

I love watching you put old corvettes together.....never owned one but always wanted one

I love this video.. I’ve seen it several times. I love your passion.. congratulations from Spain for a huge and nice work … and I do not only mean the car, I mean the video edition too. Please keep on road..

I don’t watch too many car videos, nor do I intend to, but you sir are so real it is even funny, I subscribed immediately….so funny!

That's an incredible deal for a classic Corvette! You've got yourself a real gem there, and we can't wait to see how it turns out once it's fully restored.

Just stumbled on this channel. I could tell that there was more to Shawn than what was portrayed on the show. If anything, Shawn was the most important part of the crew, finding buyers and deals. Anyways, I was looking for part 2 of this video and was surprised to see that there are only 4 videos on the channel. Part 2 is not one of them. I hope we get more videos. The content is good.

SHAWNY BOY!!!! I AM SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU ON UTUBE DOING YOUR OWN THING. This will be the first video I've seen, can't wait. So, what's up with Gotham garage? I have always enjoyed your intelligence and ability to close a sale. God bless and good luck!!! Really big fan!

This brought so many smiles to my face! Thanks! New subscriber!

Great video. This car fell into the hands of the right guy to raise it from the dead. Being a corvette guy, it’s like a new addition to his family. Great buy, great job and great video. Your humor was great too. Well done 👍🏿

First time seeing you-your channel. Dude! You are a trip!!! LOVE watching a guy work on "real" car. I forget how easy was it to do things under the hood to cars before computers came along and everything was squished into a friggen box. And definitely one of the best finds/deals ever. Good for you and good job. I'm leaning towards RED.

Hi Shawn I just saw the video with the 71 Corvette and you’re so funny when you’re bleeding the brake, you make me laugh 😂😂😂 actually the hold video was fun keep up with the good work you are awesome.

I just found this channel and I absolutely love it, I'm watching all your vids tonight

Randomly stumbled upon this channel, gotta say, Shawn has always entertained me on CMRTR, hope this channel does well, just a feel good way to start your day, grats.....

Nice Buy, Shawn.. I Love watching old corvettes come back to life. Gotta save them..

Frankenstein for real . I don’t even like cars but you brought this back to life was cool. Like watching a movie with a good ending

Man the video work is great! Love the way you put your videos together👌

you remind me of my late-grandfather figure. super into corvettes, always got that mechanic sense of humour, and was the sole reason im into corvettes myself. he heard that i was gonna save up and buy a 1996 Chrysler New Yorker for my first car, and shoved his then (now mine) 1989 C4 Corvette in my face for two grand, and is now my first car. absolutely loved the heck out of this video! glad i discovered your channel

The car does sit nicely in the Ontario Orange, works well with the interior, matches the VIN and is a period colour. Another colour from that year that will catch some eyes is War Bonnet Yellow, the lines of the '71 vettes with the chrome really show off bright metallic colours. If I had a choice of colour to own I would probably go with Bridghampton Blue, Or Brands Hatch Green and these may appeal better to the masses. You could go for some flames or details on the hood, but I think the lines of the car speak for themselves.

I’m so happy I stumbled on to your channel, great find . Cheers 🇨🇦

Watched this video twice and the other videos great work and we need more videos ☺️

You gotta paint it red Shawn. BTW your humbleness and passion is out of this planet. keep doing what you love and God bless you.

I’m glad I found your show! This is great, I really like the work you do and you’re really good with the camera.

Love to see a full restoration on this bad boy! It sounds amazing!

Fantastic buy. You did a good job on it so far.

Hey Shawn, I’m so happy to see you on RU-vid! I hope you’re very successful. I went through a half dozen 68-75 Vettes in my earlier years. My favorite was a 72 LT-1 with Air. I think it was the only solid lifter car with AC that GM ever made. I think they made 271 of them. I sure wish I still had it. It was remarkably weak In performance compared to a 70 LT -1. The pollution control stuff and the lower compression made a huge difference in performance. You really made me “homesick” for another. I may start looking for another. I’m really wondering if I’ll enjoy driving one, it’s been a long time! PS: No question in my mind on the color. Ontario orange. It’s original and orange is popular again. If you’re lucky they prepared the jams poorly and they’ll be easy to strip.

I love these old Vettes! It was a time before they were insanely expensive and a man that worked hard could buy one to enjoy. Simple to work on and absolutely beautiful! I love people that are passionate about their vehicles you got a new subscriber keep them coming love it:P

I like the mood sir ! 😊 THANK YOU!

Wow. Wish I could get one like that. Awesome score. Glad I found your channel.

Dude I am so glad I found you on RU-vid ! You're so hilarious great content, and you look like a corvette master mechanic for sure ! The part where you need someone to help bleed the brakes and your talking to yourself is so golden ! love it !

Literally just binged all of Shawn's videos in reverse order and I really welcome this version of Shawn. In the show yeah he's cool and fun but now comparing this Shawn to GG Shawn, he's just so much happier, fun, energetic, and full of life compared to GG. In the show he gets little screen time and he feels muted compared to how he behaves here. I'm glad RU-vid recommended me Shawn's channel and I super look forward to future videos and I do hope that moving forward, the directors of Gotham Garage can let Shawn either have more screen time or let him be more like this or both. I'd love to see Shawn more like this on the show.

Good job shawn. God bless. Keep up the good work.

Really enjoyed this. Nice to see you doing it solo, sleeves rolled up. Awesome
