Hi- I am looking to purchase a project or turnkey mako shark corvette. I am located in North Carolina but will travel and transport the right car if it is what I want. Exterior and interior color does not matter.
Thanks guys,
Richard

Excellent choice, we're a special group

Default Mako shark

I am actually looking at early models of the 70's with the tilt front end. Have found a few pieces here and there but would like to find a project car or even a turnkey . I know Bohannon makes the front and rear molds again.

Default 1970 Project Corvette available

I have a 1970 Stingray Corvette which was a factory 350 with 350 HP with a 4 speed. The car does not have the original motor but had it replaced a number of years ago with a GM LT1 crate motor.

The car has been sitting for about 20 years and needs a decent amount of work but the frame is solid and the fiberglass is also in very good condition.

Located in Michigan.

Default Mako Shark

[Thanks guys. The one in Charlotte is actually in Shelby, 45 mins outside of Charlotte. I am familar with this car already. It is a god deal at that price but it does not have the tilt front end. The rear is fine. Anyhow I will pass on that one. The search continues......

Not just 68. Makos or Maco by Silva cars were 68-mid 70s or so, plus the Motion performance cars too.

I just found it surfing craigslist, not sure if it is what you are after, but looks like the one piece front end and all the motion performance parts.
