In 1967, the limited-production L88 Corvette was officially rated at 430 horsepower, although some Corvette historians believe that figure was artificially low. This corvette is only 1 of 13 documented 1968 L88 Convertibles known to exist.

Bearing a striking resemblance to Chevrolet's "Mako Shark II" concept vehicle, it literally changed the way people looked at cars. Along with its bold new look, the 1968 Corvettes introduced hidden windshield wipers and removable T-Tops on Coupe models. In 1968, Corvette production hit a new record of 28,566. Corvette received its most radical styling change in 1968, and this basic body design would continue to evolve for 15 years.

I wonder what ever happened to the Mako Shark II?
I last saw it at the 24 hours of Daytona...once and only once.
It was painted lighter at the bottom and darker at the top, just like a Mako Shark.
The grill openings (like gills) behind the front wheels are a trend that continued on Vettes for years.
