Description This is a 1/18 Scale Diecast 1961 Corvette Mako Shark Show Car from Motor Max.
Facts First there was the XP-700, a car built for design chief Bill Mitchell, then came the XP-755 which was redone as the Mako Shark I. Design was by Larry Shinoda, who will go down in Corvette history as the designer of the 1963. The Shark had been styled and painted to resemble a Mako Shark that Mitchell had caught off the coast of Florida. An oft told story is that Mitchell had ordered the car painted to match the colors of the fish, but when that was impossible his staff quietly borrowed the mounted fish and repainted it to match the car.
