Chevrolet’s C3 Corvette proved to be an enormously successful series for the company with an incredibly long production run, from 1967 through to 1982.
As we note in an online feature on the series: “The C3 shape, in common with many GM designs, was based on a show car; this one called the Mako Shark 2. Mechanically it drew extensively with the C2 Sting Ray it replaced, but was engineered to accommodate GM’s biggest and most potent V8 engines.”
This example is said to have been given a comprehensive restoration, including powder-coating the chassis. The refreshed engine is said to have done 1500km.
It’s running a 327 V8 with automatic transmission featuring overdrive.
Located near Kalgoorlie-Boulder in WA, it’s on the market at $80,000.
