The third series of the Corvette was conceived when GM’s Chief of Design Bill Mitchell laid eyes on a shortfin mako shark and requested his team to incorporate its features into the body of a car. Out of all of GM’s designers, the task would best be addressed by Larry Shinoda who aside from his advanced perceptual skills he would also engage the nostalgia of his childhood fishing memories. Through a pointy snout, flared arches, side gills and a notchback tail he successfully infused the animosity of an oceanic predator into a sports car. The blue concept car was rightfully named Mako II and became the basis for finalizing the shape of the C3 Corvette that went into production in 1968. Six years into production, revised government regulations dictated dropping of most elegant front and rear chrome bumpers over impact-absorbing polyurethane assemblies.
The Corvette offered was produced in 1972 in T top coupe body with removable rear window to feature the chrome bumpers as well as the bright front and side grilles. Its optional Turbo Hydra-Matic 3-speed automatic transmission was fitted to deliver 200 bhp from the 350ci engine to the rear wheels. Additional options included power windows, power brakes, power steering and air conditioner. Four decades later it was sourced in Pennsylvania to become part of a strictly American classic s private collection in Greece. It is now offered in an all original state with factory original leather interior, matching numbers engine, original transmission and all factory fitted options and stickers.
