First up is this amazing '63 Sting Ray ad. Wow. Our only quibble – instead of: "...the most exciting car in America today..." should have been "ever".
Second up is a less-then-amazing late 80's music video - "Goin Back To Cali" by LL Cool J (sporting a period Kangol Bermuda cap). Only cool thing about this video is his slick 1968 Vette which finally makes its appearance at 3:18, so if you can't stand the torture cut to there. [Thanks to the commenters who pointed out the mistake in the year]
Last up is this GM promo film for big Bill Mitchell's Mako Shark II. What can we say but that the styling, innovative engineering, and Carol Roth make us want to cry.
That was a nice vette but it was not an early 80's corvette. There were no convertibles from '75-'86. It has to be an early '70s, not to mention it had chrome bumpers...

Skeleton, the song's from the 80's not the Vette.

I don't mind the LLCoolJ thing, and I'm in my 30's!
And don't those side vents mark it as a '68 or '69 vette?

The Manta Ray" was eons ahead in styling back then, and remains the same today.. This is a vette for ALL TIME(S)

The Vette in the LL video is not a 80's but a 1968. You can tell by the side vents and the one yr only push button door handles.
