Chevrolet Corvette - 1968-1982

The C3 Stingray ran from 1968-1982, making it the longest-running generation Corvette ever. Based on the Mako Shark II which was penned by Larry Shinoda, the C3 carried the Corvette name from the end of the muscle car era and remained successful through both gas crises of the 70s and into the 80s. While the later models may be overlooked by some, these third-generation Vettes are a superb basis for an all-around hot rod when coupled with DSE hardware.
