        Comments:

        The Vicious Vette is a retooled version of the 1969 Custom Mako Shark. For 1970, Topper removed the hood and added a large "blown V8 engine". The plastic interior
        has been eliminated, and it is now integral with the base metal casting. The tailpipes on the Custom Mako Shark have also been removed in the retooling process.

        Shawn's Take!

        Common in bright blue, red, honey gold, light green, gold, royal blue, orange, light orange, teal, aqua, emerald green. This is a car that is truly rare in magenta.
        Common colors $35 to $50. Emeralds slightly higher and magenta, if you can find one, always over $80. Blisters around $100 with an emerald recently sold for $180.
        Never have seen a blistered maggie...
