Cool! I love the way the front turn signals were done.

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gifphotos--Joel had showed me your MACO before he moved from his shop--The pictures really don't do these Macos justice--You really have to see them close-up---

Re: More MACO SHARK
 

That's the truth...

I just saw another one today... it was a complete basket case, but still sent shivers down my spine... totally love them. A hint... 2sharks is now 3sharks https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

Re: More MACO SHARK
 

Does anybody know the month, year & magazine the above article came from? Would really like to put a date on it.

Thanks!

Re: More MACO SHARK
 

I hope you find that mag, because now I'll be thinking about this all night--- https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/mad.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif--
They did an article on finding his Yellow vette in '92--Vette Mag. He found the Maco after that---It's funny though the picture of that MACO looks like it's in front of the Motion Bldg., when it was painted electric blue ---I would guess Vette Mag--or Corvette Fever-- --Like I SAID I hope you find that mag.-------------

Re: More MACO SHARK
 

It was Corvette Fever from a few years back... that's what I wanted to know... was what month & year... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

Never saw a Maco with the double grill effect on the nose-----Was this common djunod?? https://www.yenko.net/attachments/124486-Scan0018.jpg

That's the real GM Mako Shark II show car.

Re: More MACO SHARK
 

Were the fronts functional-?.....

Re: More MACO SHARK
 

Those grills? Yes, when the hood was lifted up you could see through those grills...

When the GM Mako Shark II was remade into the GM Manta Ray, the hood for the most part stayed the same... the headlights changed... but overall there wasn't a lot of change to the hood... This model is a digitally-scanned exact recreation of the GM Manta Ray. Tons of good photos. You can buy these on e-bay for around $60.
