Notes:
THE CHEVROLET MAKO SHARK II by General Motors Styling
This experimental sports car introduces a new shape for the Corvette, based on advancements in automotive aerodynamics. Capturing both the vibrant coloring and lean, powerful lines of its undersea namesake, the two-passenger, fastback coupe features a “flip-top” roof for easy passenger access, “hide-away” design of lights, rear bumper, windshield wipers, door latches and rear license plate, and a smoothly ,molded aircraft-type cockpit with contoured seats. The Mako Shark II is powered by a 425 horsepower version of Chevrolet’s Turbo-Jet 396 V-8 and is teamed with a three-speed automatic transmission.
