BTW a fellow named John Silva invented the mako re body and teamed with motion for a spell while motion made the kit famous silva sold far more kits and turn key cars than motion.
"moray" That is the same front clip as the mako, they just filled the front dips, I never liked how the front wheel wells have too high of an arch and most mako re bodies look like a 70's pro gasser taking off, cool look, not on a c3 imho,
So while I try to re work my mako front clip to suit my tastes you see why I have the stock 69 front clip first in line for my car, of course it will tilt and have a working L-88 hood but it just looks better to me than the off the shelf mako,

I didnt think so, I actually spoke to John a few times nice cat, I see motion get 100% credit for the mako and that is simply not the case, they didnt invent it, just rode silvas coat tails and were super at marketing.
If not for the mako motion could not have even built this moray which I too never cared for, ironic since I love a well done mako re body.

Hi,
It's described in the article as a being a "bold design".
I guess that IS one word someone could use!
It looks to me like the 68+ body with overly exaggerated lines.
Regards,
Alan

But the price, lol, change that first "2" into a "1" and that's closer to correct.
Some people find the moray ugly others find the CS car ugly but on the flip side some people like both those cars a lot, people have different tastes in corvettes which is good because I would get way bored if all c3's had to be bone stock and the same color.

When I was a freshman in high school I had a shirt with a picture of a c3 like yours with those rims but it was red. It said "Wrap your *** in fiberglass" I loved that shirt. My history teacher said it was disgusting and asked what my parents would think of it. I said my mom bought it for me.
