C3 (Mako Shark / Stingray) Chevrolet Corvette for sale.

The longest-running Corvette generation. 1968-1972 chrome-bumper cars share C2 mechanicals under new Mako Shark-inspired bodywork; the 1969 ZL1 (all-aluminum 427) is a multimillion-dollar unicorn; 1970-1972 LT-1 small-blocks are revered. 1973 introduced 5 mph bumpers; 1975-1980 cars suffered smog-era power decline (the 1975 base Stingray made just 165 hp). 1978 Indy Pace Car and 1982 Collectors Edition close the run.
