The Mako Shark was GM VP of Design, Bill Mitchell's vision for the follow up to the Corvette Stingray. Legend has it he was inspired by sharks he'd caught in the Bahamas. The design cues for this car can be seen in Corvettes that rolled out starting in 1968 model year.

  • what happened? cars today aren't even as good as this one.... design wise....

    

  • @WaiWu The designers don't have the freedom that they had in the '60s. The cars are much better built and the engineering has improved greatly but I agree -- they're just not as imaginatively designed. It was a golden but wacky era. What manufacturer today would paint a car to mimic the colors of a shark the head of design caught?

  • wow where did u find this video

  • Awesome, amazing car. I would have it.

  • Thanks for posting, I owned a 1980 C3, but never knew all the cool stuff I missed out on!

  • Shows what you know

  • This car pretty much proves GM builds piece of shit cars. I'm an American and it hurts to say that, but no American car company really gives a shit whether their cars can stand the test of time, and whether they're built to last. there's no pride in the plastic tubs we call cars today :'/

  • Some of these ideas are actually pretty awesome, like the roof that rises and the hidden wipers. Wtf happened to car companies, man?

  • @pwnageness no..

    search for corvette manta ray!

  • @WaiWu Look up the new 2013 Stingray.

  • @SuperNick134 You mean stingray...?

  • IT WASN'T MUCH AHEAD OF ITS TIME - as it was in the main a styling study on the existing chassis figure it to be the styling study for the 1968 Corvette. -S-

  • fail car!
