the C3 Corvette. The third generation Corvette, patterned after the
Mako Shark II concept car, was introduced for the 1968 model year
and was in production until 1982. C3 coupes featured the first use
of T-top removable roof panels. It introduced monikers that were
later revived, such as LT-1, ZR-1, Z07 and Collector Edition. In
1978, the Corvette's 25th anniversary was celebrated with a
two-tone Silver Anniversary Edition and an Indy Pace Car replica
edition of the C3. This was also the first time that a Corvette was
used as a Pace Car for the Indianapolis 500. To see 100+ HD
