The concept featured a one-piece, front-hinged front end that opened to reveal not only the engine, but much of the front chassis and suspension. The rear bumper was retractable, too, offer more parking-lot protection when extended. The rear end also featured an adjustable rear wing.<\/p>\n<p>Inside, the Mako Shark II contained very advanced controls and features for its day, including remote control operation for the automatic transmission, a digital readout for the speedometer and fuel gauge and stereo speakers in the seat headrests. There were 17 electric motors for the cabin\u2019s various functions, at a time when even power seats were rare.<\/p>\n<p>Like many of Chevrolet\u2019s concepts of the era, the Mako Shark II enjoyed time on the show circuit and was reborn a few years later with styling updates \u2013 and a new name: Manta Ray. It debuted in 1969.<\/p>\n<p>Transforming the Mako Shark II into the Manta Ray included the addition of a front spoiler was added, changes to the grille and the \u201cside pipe\u201d exhausts were redesigned. The rear design changed, too, with a flying buttress-style appearance replacing a series of horizontal slats behind the rear window. The \u201cnew\u201d Manta Ray also received a ZL-1 427-cubic-inch big-block V-8 engine.<\/p>\n<p>This car has retained its Manta Ray styling since 1969.<\/p>\n<h1><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/1965-chevrolet-corvette-manta-ray-gallery\/\">1965 Chevrolet Corvette Manta Ray Gallery<\/a><\/h1>\n<p>See full\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/1965-chevrolet-corvette-manta-ray-gallery\/\">1965 Chevrolet Corvette Manta Ray Gallery<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Story by GM Media Archives<\/p>\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n                <a href='https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/1965_Chevrolet_CorvetteMantaRay1.jpg' class='tipi-lightbox'>\r\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/1965_Chevrolet_CorvetteMantaRay1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"1965 Chevrolet Corvette Manta Ray\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/1965_Chevrolet_CorvetteMantaRay1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/1965_Chevrolet_CorvetteMantaRay1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/1965_Chevrolet_CorvetteMantaRay1-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/1965_Chevrolet_CorvetteMantaRay1-770x514.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/1965_Chevrolet_CorvetteMantaRay1-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/1965_Chevrolet_CorvetteMantaRay1-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/1965_Chevrolet_CorvetteMantaRay1-293x195.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n            <\/div><\/figure>\n<div class=\"copy-paste-block\">\n<h3>In Detail<\/h3>\n<table class=\"cardetails\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">type<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">Concept \/ Prototype Car<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">built at<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">Michigan, USA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">production<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"boldlabel\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">engine<\/td>\n<td class=\"boldvalue\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">Mark IV V8<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">position<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">Front Longitudinal<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">aspiration<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">Natural<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">displacement<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">6997 cc \/ 427.0 in\u00b3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">power<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">316.9 kw \/ 425.0 bhp @ 6500 rpm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">specific output<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">60.74 bhp per litre<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">torque<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">650.79 nm \/ 480.0 ft lbs @ 3500 rpm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">driven wheels<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">RWD<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">transmission<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">Turbohydromatic 3-Speed Auto<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1965 Chevrolet Corvette Manta Ray Four years after the original Mako Shark concept foreshadowed the design of the next-generation Corvette that debuted in 1963, the Mako Shark II provided an early glimpse of the third-generation Corvette design, which was introduced for the 1968 model year.
