This is the complete edition of the RCR Stories on the history of the Corvette. Originally released as a trilogy on the main channel, this edit compiles the award-winning saga into one epic video.
Follow the history of one of the most iconic cars in American automotive history, from its genesis at Chevrolet under the visionary Harley Earl, through its rise in popularity, the suspicious year that didn't have a Corvette at all, and all the way through to the march to mid-engine. It's an unforgettable saga of automotive ingenuity, innovation deferred, and a remarkable resurgence in prestige for a car whose identity has changed over the years from sports car superstar, to mid-life crisis car, and back again.
How was the Chevy Corvette created? Why is it so revered? And what is its outlook for the future? Originally released in installments over on the main channel, this is the omnibus that collects the three different parts into one engaging whole. This is RCR Stories: The Complete History of the Corvette.
Chapters:
00:00 Prologue
01:48 Harley Earl and the Early Auto Industry
27:04 Zora Arkus-Duntov and the Birth of the Corvette
45:20 The Motorsports Ban
50:28 The Stingray
69:00 Rise of the C3
76:00 Death of a Legend
79:43 The Year Without A Corvette

This is with out a doubt the best story on the Corvette I have ever seen. As a restorer in the late 70's to the late 80's I thought I knew the facts but you have opened my eyes. A suggestion for a future episode, the tail of the "shade tree" owners of Corvettes. The individuals that kept the 'older' Vetts alive. There is a difference between Corvette Owners and Owners of Corvettes.

I don’t understand why Roman gets so much hate. Sure, he’s no voice actor but his videos are incredibly informative and I find his narration style “welcoming.”
@user-ro2kr1dk8u
@user-ro2kr1dk8u Год назад
Some hate comes because these videos are full of errors. I stopped watching at the C3 section when he said 75 lwas the start of the hiatus on convertibles (wrong, 75 had a convertible and 76 is when it was discontinued) and that the 76 model year saw the end of the sugar scoop (also wrong; 78 was when it ended). Some may not think these are a big deal but it does bring into question how many other mistakes if he’s getting very easily gathered information wrong.

Looking forward to watching this. For some reason, like a lot of Americans I guess, I have an irrational nostalgic love of Corvettes. I guess it's always been our one shot at being part of the international sportscar scene, so they always seem a little more special than all of the great muscle cars we've had here.
@anydaynow01
@anydaynow01 Год назад
If only they listened to Duntov instead of the bean counters in the '60s and made it midengine from the C3 onward. It would have been right up there with other "exotics" since then, it's only with the C8 that people are taking it seriously even though it has always had very quick and great handling special editions throughout the years.
@jasonmoyer

I'm glad they finally went mid-engine, it does make the car seem more exotic. I think in some ways the C6/C7 are better sportscars though.

@@anydaynow01 i disagree. The c6 and c7 were extremely capable track cars even with that big motor up front. They are front mid engine anyways. I think its even better that we had the c7r to dominate the rear mid engine super cars one last time before crossing over to compete more directly.

The story I got from Tom Hill back in 1988 was there was a rebellion in the ranks about destroying the last and only 1983 Corvette that so many of them had done so much on to create. When they learned there would be no production 1983, they didn't want to destroy any of them, but they were darn sure that the last one would not be destroyed. So they didn't hide it out back, they brought in right into the lobby, right where everyone could see it, and build four concrete pillars around it to contain it there. It became part of the building, trapped inside four huge concrete columns. It stayed there on display until it was moved to the Corvette Museum across the highway in the '90s, which involved closing the front lobby and breaking in equipment to tear out the columns. By hiding in plain sight, the amount of interest by the public was something Chevrolet couldn't risk destroying. Every plant tour was taken to it and shown it. And yes, I saw it there in 1988, where Tom pointed out to me the various differences in the 1983 and the 1984 Corvettes. Sadly, Chevrolet still had their no-cameras inside policy or I'd have a picture. And since this was a special tour with Tom, I didn't want to risk his job by sneaking on in, like I had done several times in St. Louis. I've never heard the "lost under a tarp" story or the cowboy boot story.

I have usually found that Corvette is divisive because it is better than its critics want to admit. I was always moderately enthusiastic about Corvettes, my father having been a GM executive ( Oldsmobile Division ). But I tempered my enthusiasm as I grew fonder of German cars during the malaise of the domestics in the 1970s and 80s. That fit right in with the snobbery of some of my friends regarding "Detroit". Ultimately, while still driving and tracking my BMWs, I bought a collectors edition C4, arguably one of the least appreciated generations of Corvette. ( My brother-in-law, meantime, was winning awards all over the world for his stunning C2 restorations. ) I quickly became a Corvette enthusiast, a real "owner" of the marque, through my C4 ownership. Even to the point where I was alienated from my "Europhile" car friends. They thought I'd lost my mind, or at least my taste. I would challenge them, "Have you ever driven a Corvette?" Invariably, the answer was "Well, no." So, their shunning of America's sports car was based on nothing but pure, old-fashioned prejudice. Not a sound basis for a car assessment in my opinion. The critics hate Corvette because it has beaten Europe's best on their own terms, at half their price. That's enough to make anyone ( without an open mind ) furious. So be it. Corvettes are great cars, and, dollar-for-euro, fantastic bargains.

As great as the LS1 engine is, it is NO comparison to the now legendary Lotus engineered D.O.H.C. LT5 that STILL holds the 24 hr and 5,000 mile speed endurance records to this day. That LT5 engine is bullet proof. And don't let the speeds of 175.8 mph ( for the 24 hr record ) and 173.5 mph ( for the 5,000 mile record ) fool you. Those are AVERAGE speeds because repeated pit stops for tire changes, fuel, and driver changes have to be counted. There is an excellent article that states the drivers were running most laps @ 181 mph NON-STOP........and they actually ran a few hot laps of 190 mph. Now think about driving any production car BONE STOCK except for headers & open exhaust @ 181 mph FOR 5,000 MILES STRAIGHT. That's equivalent to TEN Daytona 500 races back to back to back, etc. NO OTHER AUTO MAKER HAS BROKEN THESE RECORDS TO THIS DAY. If that doesn't prove how bullet proof the LT5 engine truly is, then nothing does. When you run ANY engine & vehicle that hard for over 500 miles, things begin to deteriorate and break down. Several other auto makers including Ford and Mercedes tried to break those records AND FAILED. And just because there are production cars today that can top 200 mph, it doesn't mean it can withstand such insanely long distance high speeds & break those records that the LT5 equipped C4 ZR1 still holds.

Anyone notice the 56 Vette with the modified v8 duntov set the flying mile record with, was a HEMI head engine? The spark plug holes go down the middle of the valve covers. It also seems to be deep holes which would indicate an overhead cam engine as do the insanely WIDE valve covers. They look more like a Ford sohc cammer valve cover than any smallblock or even big block gm heads ever seen. So maybe he did device an ohc setup and hemispherical combustion chambers. It's possible! If anyone has further engine details on that particular car please help he out here! I'm only 36 but an auto Machinist major and my A.D.D. is going wild trying to fly by the possibilities here!
@ShogunAutoworks
@ShogunAutoworks 11 месяцев назад
Update: it's not a hemi nor is it a gm engine at all. Turns out, if this is the type engine used, in the photo, and it's highly possible because it's the only v8 Duntov had a ton of experience modifying... Then Duntov would be the first man to Ford swap a Corvette and then destroy all the other Corvettes ever produced EVER with said Ford v8 swapped car. 😂 That there is a Ford flathead V8 with Ardun (ARkus DONtov) overhead valve conversion heads on it, that yep, Duntov designed and was selling at the time, himself. So a Jewish Russian immigrant SAVED the Corvette for all of history, by Ford swapping it and actually making it fast. Talk about breaking stereotypes with a sledgehammer. Frikkin awesome if you ask me.

Although they did consider building a hemi SBC for the Grand Sport in 1963, which was going to be 377 cubic inches. Same as a “383 stroker”, except with a standard 4-inch bore. 16 plugs like a modern Gen III hemi. My source is the book “Corvette, America’s Star Spangled Sports Car” by Karl Ludvingsen, 1975. They built at least one; there’s a picture which came from GM’s photo archives.

There is a 83 C3, but that was a special twin turbo, don't think that one was ever sold. Another true '83 is cut in half unless someone wants to weld-together the parts. Corvette Black Book says there's potentially 6 total with the VIN "D" marking given to extreme private collectors in the same way there are GM EV-1 cars that "exist" in-secret (about 6 or 7) in working condition. None of any of these will ever come to market due to agreements. The mythical '83 is the stuff of lore and legend at-best, and I have no first-hand knowledge, nor do I know anyone who actually owns one but I "know a guy" who "knows a guy" has one mothballed "in secret" and has it mothballed and sealed-up like an archeological mummy. What's the good in that? Apparently, agreements were made that of the 6, none of them are allowed to admit it or talk about it, sort of like how a real "gangster" never brags about that kind of business for leverage. Just like the few EV-1 owners, it's to be kept hush.

1. 63-67 Corvettes were Sting Rays or Mid Years 2. Its predecessor was from the Mako Shark, not Maako shark. Grrrrr.

Thank you for all the information about the Corvette,and if I had the opportunity to buy a new Corvette of course I am not financially able to buy one right now,I would buy one, the new Corvette looks better than Ferrari at a faction of the cost ,and the 2024 model is better than ever ,it is a bit pricey

Wow, I never new Duntov's history with Corvette, my experience with him was the Duntov 30-30 camshaft. Which is an animal in a 327CI small block Nova SS. Ask me how I know.

Enjoyable listen, thank you (C3 owner). Im a bit surprised that you didnt mention the upcoming electrification of the C8 starting with the all wheel drive e-ray, a new era is dawning.
