1975 Chevrolet Corvette - Green Machine

Kevin Smith's 14,000-Mile C3 Is One Very Sharp Time CapsuleYou've got to start somewhere, and the rebirth of the Corvette into a world-class sports car began here. 1975 was when strict federal emission-control laws kicked in, which led The General to mandate catalytic converters and require the use of the more costly (at that time) unleaded gasoline in all of its '75-model passenger cars. That was the same year that the steel-bodied Chevys also took big hits, performance-wise-no more Z/28 Camaros and no more 454-powered Chevelles-but the rest of the U.S. auto industry had it even worse. (Can you say Pinto-based Ford Mustang II and AMC Pacer?)
