So today me and my gf had to go c her god father to help him with his fun car to go get every thing done to it(breaks, oil change, rad flush, air filter). So this guys had a '78 Corvette, mint condition, owned since new. 25th aniversary, all original, 350, white vynal interior. SOoo hot. Any ways heres the only pic i could i get with my camera phone(batter crapped out). But yea, i havent driven a v8(350 ci) in about a year n a half or so, i completely forgot how much thouse things pull. He let me smoke the tires a bit and he also let me go sideways with it 2:D.

nice eh? and, it gets better. This guy keep it in storage all year long. Takes it out for the occasional drive(put 25km on it per year now). Its got 74xxxkm all original. And the best part, hez leavin it in his will for my gf. And she told me if she gets it i getta play around with it and fixer up:D.

stingrays and mako sharks are excatly like the gt/st with the celis. Stingrays came with a 350 and the mako sharks where 397 i think. Its like an SS on a chevelle. The came 350 for a base, 396 for a SS, and then now most SS are 454 ohh..fun..

what are you talking about.


stingray I think ended production in 76, while the bodystyle stayed in production until 82 (no 83 model) and then 84 was the C4 body.

the "mako Shark" was the concept car that the 68-82 car body lines were based on.

From 68-69 the vette had a 350(may have been a 327?) or a 427. From 70-72(72 I think) vettes were 350 or 454. From 73-77(77i think) vettes were 350 only with a L72 or a L88 versions (I think) and from 78-82 vettes were the shamed crossfire injected crap 350 that MIGHT have made 150whp on a dyno. I want to say chevy claimed 197 whp or something that year. Either way everyone sees those engines as the biggest jokes since the blue flame six.

However, I do think the 78-82 vettes had the best body lines since the 57.

All this is from memory, but you guys can feel free to make corrections.

(chevy 350's from the 70's to the 85 model were crap. They didn't really wake up until the late model 86 with aluminum heads.
