I think that the "Stingray" name started with the 1969 model year.

But I can't recall any chrome-bumper C3 carrying the single-word nickname OR Sting Ray. The very first 1967 magazine ad showing a '68 called it a Sting Ray in a small-print caption, but that was an error, officially they were just plain Corvettes for the first few years of the new body.
Since the C3 styling was clearly lifted from the '65 Mako Shark , they could have given it that name IMO.
