The Chevrolet Astro I (XP-842[2]) was a concept car created for 1967. The nose design of the Astro I was quite similar to the Mako Shark show car.[1]

It was previously called X-1000 Corvair Super GT Low Roof Aerodynamic Coupe. It was designed at the secret Warehouse Studio, formally called Advanced-5, located off the grounds of the GM Tech Center across 12 Mile Road.[3]
