Specifications


Description

 

The C3 Corvette saw the end of an era and braved a new one!

Bill Mitchell and Zora Arkus-Duntov developed the C3 from Larry Shinoda’s stunning Mako Shark II, abandoning costly plans for the ’Vette to go mid-engined.  Instead, they turned the concept into Chevrolet’s most striking – and enduring – shape yet, with those distinctive bulging arches and front wings that swept up from the engine bay to the wheel arch lips.

Development of the C3 Corvette began before the big-block C2s even came out!

GM and the Corvette's designers knew that they couldn't let the C2 have as long a production run as the C1, which ran for 10 years. So, they set up an in-house design competition with one stipulation: have the car ready for the 1967 model year.

The C3 Corvette would sell spectacularly well and could be a fun and exciting sports car. Pre-1972 Corvettes had the most power, because unleaded-fuel capability and then catalytic converters sapped output dramatically as the ’70s progressed.
