Sweet Corvette! Though I'm surprised that you pay someone to change your oil. I watched the whole video (because I have a customer's '65 T-Bird in the shop) and enjoyed it. I can do without the Carvana commercials.

I'm tired of driving on ramps, and crawling under the cars to do oil changes. This year I brought them to Nick. As well, I like to give him support when I can. We've been friends for over 40 years, and he's always been good with me. I've built engines and brought them to his shop to dyno, and he always let me perform whatever tests I like. At the end he charges me a fair price, and I appreciate that. Nowadays the only car I still want to work on is my racecar.

That T-Bird is nice!

I can relate to doing things the hard way. I did that for too many years myself. Again, I liked the video. He seems like a cool car guy that I can relate to.

Nice Vette, but then I am partial to '69 with BB interior.

Nice story! We’ve had 2 Vettes both 1975’s one 4 speed one Auto. They were just ok in my opinion, I like the 69’s and the chrome bumpers, and side pipes better. Guess that’s why we no longer have them. Lol on a side note, I change my own oil.

Great looking car. My son sold his black 69 a few years ago. It was a frame off car and just too nice to drive around much.

Beautiful Vette! The 68-69 cars are my favorite, and the Lemans Blue on Bright Blue is possibly the best color combo ever.

Where is Nick's shop in Montreal? I used to head up there on weekends back in the last of the 70s up until 93 when I left Rouses Point, NY. Thru the week I'd make the run up to St. Therese to pick up loads out of the GM Plant, when I drove for Anchor Mtr Frt. There was always a lot to see do up there.
