The Original Corvette Mako Shark Show Car
The Spring Issue of Corvette Quarterly includes superb photos of the original Corvette Mako Shark concept car commissioned by Bill Mitchell. Mitchell was fascinated with sea creatures, and his love for them gave birth to Corvette names like Manta Ray and the ubiquitous Sting Ray.
Also known as the XP-755, this vehicle is considered the missing link between the second generation C2 Sting Ray Corvette and the third, or Shark, generation. Posters of the vehicle are available at ChevyMall.com
Q: What transmission was in the 1965 Corvette Sting Ray Mako Shark? Was it available with automatic? Thank you.
