If you thought that the Mako Shark that we covered earlier in the article was a lot, check this one out. The Baldwin Motion Mako Shark added to the mystique of the model and transformed the exterior. The 5.7-liter Chevy 350 V-8 pumped out a massive 475 horsepower, which at the time was a great improvement considering all of the emissions regulations that were stuffed into the car (via Top Speed).

Only three examples of this model were ever built making it rarer than the rest of them. But if you happen to get your hands on one of these Coke bottle beauties, the styling and the performance were exceptional. This was during a trying time in the Corvette lineup and the fact that there were these interesting concepts only shows the viability of the brand.
