Introduced three years after Chevrolet's wonderfully dramatic 1965 Mako Shark II show car, the so-called “C3” Corvette borrowed heavily from the Shark’s “coke bottle” silhouette. Underpinned by a perimeter-frame chassis featuring all-round independent suspension, recirculating-ball steering and four-wheel disc brakes, the newcomer's beautifully moulded fibreglass skin wore slimline chrome bumpers. With even the mildest of its “small block” V8 engines being rated at 300bhp and 360lb ft of torque, the C3 could really perform. Tested by Road & Track magazine against a Porsche 911, Jaguar E-type and Mercedes-Benz 280SL, just such an entry-level ’Vette acquitted itself with honours. Demolishing the opposition in a straight line, it split the Europeans on the slalom and other handling tests. Manufactured in coupé and convertible guises until 1975, it continued in coupé form only until 1982.
