This 1978 Corvette C3, with just over 2500 kilometers on the odometer, sat idle for 45 years in a garage, accumulating dust and dirt. Now, the model has the chance to shine again.

The Corvette received the attention it deserves thanks to the team at YouTube’s WD Detailing channel. To access the car, the team had to help replace the garage doors, covered in vegetation and vines, before taking it to their warehouse for a complete cleaning.
The wash revealed a body that, despite the dust buildup, was still in good condition. Inside the Corvette C3, the model’s red leather was also surprisingly well-preserved, thanks to the fact that the doors and windows had remained closed.
However, rats had nested inside, leaving droppings everywhere. After a thorough cleaning, both the interior and exterior of the Corvette looked almost as good as when the car rolled out of the showroom. With this cleaning, the owner can now focus on getting the Corvette back in shape for the road.
