Description
Top marque authorities present affordably priced and comprehensive model histories featuring specially commissioned color photography, driving impressions, full specifications, chassis and engine numbers, and bodywork changes. With a double die-molded fiberglass body mounted atop a heavy chassis with independent suspension and the world's most powerful push rod V8, the 1968 to 1982 Corvettes were constantly challenged by increasingly stringent fuel emission regulations. General Motors turned this to their advantage by civilizing the C3 and creating sophisticated grand tourers for a market twice the size of the sports car market. The car went on to enjoy broader appeal than perhaps even the Ford Mustang.
