Default 61 Mako Shark

A fellow worker says his brother has one.
I think he is BSing me. I need ammo.

Do they exist as production cars or only as concept cars?

What would he pay for one today?

sting ray racer
63-67 sting ray (mid year)
Mako concept car
68
Stingray (one word)

The only Mako Shark's are the prototypes... The Mako Shark I and the Mako Shark II. And the Mako Shark II has been rebuilt into the Manta Ray.

If he says he has a '61 Mako Shark, then he may have a replica of the Mako Shark I, like Miss Mako (do a google on "miss mako").
