Summary

[edit]
Description

Cortez Silver. The 3rd generation Corvette was built from 1968-82, Running gear was carried over from the previous generation. The C3 design was based on the Mako Shark II concept car, it was longer, narrower and lower than the C2, it was the 1st Corvette to offer a T top and removable rear window. 1968 was the only year that used a push-button door lock below the door handle. In 1969, the 350 replaced the 327. Finger plate door release would actuate the door, eliminating the separate release button as in 68. The only year for the 430hp ZL1 option (aluminium 427) 1970 Corvettes had a new silver egg-crate front grille with larger, rectangular signal lights. The front fender louvers were changed to a egg-crate style grille also. 1970 and 71 Corvettes are virtually identical, they can only be differentiated by the chrome trim strip surrounding the front grille, in 1970, only 1 screw is visible, for 71, 3 screws are visible. The signal lights for 1970 and 71 had clear lenses and amber bulbs. Again there were few changes for 1972, 72 Vettes had amber lenses and a chrome grille. 1970 Engines; 370hp 350, 360hp or 450hp 454 cu in

With the optional big block engine came a revised hood with a raised center section and integral air exhaust vents
