What ever happened to the Stingray?
What happened to the Stingray Corvette? Why did they stop making them? Why were they called Stingray instead of just Corvette? Just curious about their history.
Thanx,
Rich

Sting Rays were built from 63 through 67. Folks in the C2 section probably know more about these.
Stingrays were built from 69 through 76. These were C3s.

I didn't like any of the LS2 or Z51(which I don't have) emblems, so I ordered two of these:
Kind of a homage to the original.
Hold on!,........ let me get my flame suit on.

Those gills look awesome! I don't know if they would look that good on a real C6, but they look great in that pic.

stingrays are very cool and the C6/Z06 stingray picture is very very cool
Would wonder if GM can do that body style and put the supercharger to differentiate a little and sort of do what ford GT did..(bringing back)
it would be a great great idea i think..
A blue devil stingray sort of thing..
