Chevrolet?s LT-1 Corvette showed what could be achieved in a performance muscle car using a small block V8 in a lightweight automobile. In 1971, the 350 cubic inch LT-1 engine variant offered an emissions regulated 330 horsepower, but with a lightweight aerodynamic fiberglass body, the car still had power to spare.
The Corvette design team of Zora Arkus-Duntov, William Mitchell, and Frank Winchell initially planned to move the third generation, or C3, Corvette?s engine to a mid- engine location behind the driver for better balance and handling. Unfortunately, this idea was scrapped due to budgetary constraints, the lack of mid or rear-engine parts, and weight distribution issues. Although mid-engine prototypes were built, Corvettes would remain a front engine car until 2020.
Chevy hired Larry Shinoda to develop the radically coke bottle shaped fiberglass body that would characterize Corvettes for 3 decades. Created as a merger of the Mako Shark II prototype draped over a Sting Ray chassis, Shinoda?s design resembled the earlier 1964 Mako Shark concept car with its pointed nose, steep raked roofline, and flat, ducktail rear-end design. The car was offered either as a fixed roof coupe, a removable T-top roof and rear window, or soft top convertible with optional hard top (as in this example).

All dreams start with passion, and for Joe Verrillo, his passion has always been Corvettes and GM muscle cars. At age 17, he started a tiny shop called Classic Auto Sales and Service with just a handful of cars. The company quickly took off due to Joe’s persistence, hard work, and love of the great American muscle car, and was subsequently renamed Prestige Motor Car.
The Prestige name carried forward for nearly 40 years, and in 2019, the company was renamed Verrillo Motor Car in honor of its founder.
Today, more than 45 years later, Verrillo Motor Car Company is a leader in Corvette, specialty, and highline cars. With nearly a dozen employees, VMCC is carefully creating, caretaking and curating some of the finest C1, C2 and C3 Corvettes in the world, as well as buying, trading and selling very select, high-quality late model Corvettes and specialty cars. All vehicles are thoroughly inspected and serviced by the VMCC team of technicians. Verrillo Motor Car also offers service, detailing, reconditioning, award winning frame-off restorations, custom restomods, world-wide transportation, and creative financing and extended service options.
In recent years, Verrillo Motor Car has added consignment and brokerage services as well, creating new world-class sales and buying options for their customers.
Through the years, VMCC has had a number of their meticulously crafted Corvettes featured in national publications including Corvette Magazine, Super Chevy Magazine, Hemmings Motor News, Hemmings Muscle Machine, and ‘Vette Magazine.
Verrillo Motor Car is proud to be a founding member of the National Corvette Museum, an active and multi-award winning participant in the National Corvette Restorer’s Society and Bloomington Gold, and sponsor of such great organizations as The Saratoga Auto Museum and CAPTAIN Community Human Services.
