1968 CORVETTE MANTA RAY
Die Cast Car
AutoArt Model


$119.99 1/18 scale / Blue



1968 CORVETTE MANTA RAY: The Manta Ray, the GM styling concept car, was designed by Larry Shinoda commissioned personally by the head of GM, Bill Mitchell. A dramatic two-toned car that looked as much like a Mako Shark greatly influenced the Corvette styling as from 1968. Bill Mitchell, a deep sea fishing lover, has gotten the idea while watching a Mako Shark glide. The Mantaray, also named as Mako Shark II, was developed from the Mako Shark concept car. The paint scheme that gradated from blue/grey on the top to silver/white on the bottom, resembled the Mako Shark color. The Manta Ray is powered by the Chevrolet 427 cu.in ZL-1 aluminum engine and is teamed with automatic transmission which controlled electrically from a rotary selector. The special design body featured retractable rear spoiler, concealed license plate and extendable bumper. Special cast aluminum wheels have a deep-dish design, with thin fins forming a pattern similar to a wire-spoke wheel.
