1962 XP-755 Shark
Bill Mitchell took as a starting point the general line of Sting Ray, then added the shapes of a shark which he had
encountered during a fishing trip in Bimini. Following the lead of the XP-700, the XP-755 also had a transparent roof, and
was equipped with a new rear view mirror-periscope. It had side exhausts, but with the exposed pipes in the shape of a
fin. There was a grid with fine plates covering the retractable headlights, a prominent nose, slots sheltering the turn-signal
lamps, and the hues of a shark.
1965 Mako Shark II
Bill Mitchell poses with his new dream of a future Corvette, Mako Shark II. Mechanically similar to the production Sting
Ray, it was characterized some by its aggressive styling, and by its multiple accessories controlled by 17 electric motors:
disappearing headlights and windshield wipers, removable panels above the fixed seats, adjustable pedals, etc.
