Actually there is a difference between the C2 and C3's in the script. C2's "Sting Ray" and the C3's (69 - 76) "Stingray". So, the last 67 to roll off the line was the last Sting Ray.

You should be proud of your 75. I had a 75 Camaro for 22 years. That year there were no Z28's produced. It was one of the lowest horsepower years ever. That's why I built it into a street/strip/show machine. I have a room full of racing and show trophies that were garnered with that car. The only reason that I sold it last year was to buy the 69 roadster. I always listened to people at shows that made comments about no one saving the big bumper Camaros and that the car was perfect. It was sold at the Mecum Classic car auction in Kansas City in May of 2006 and went a classic car dealer in Nebraska. So, the moral of the this long winded story is to remind you that any year Corvette, Camaro, Chevelle, Corvair, Nova, Monza, Vega or Impala should be saved and proudly driven and displayed.

Hell... I live in Montana. I still get asked why I aint drivin a pickup. To those that ask... it is a Corvette Stingray. Kinda covers all the bases. And BTW... the license plate on my pickup... VETTE. That one really messes with their heads...

When I was a kid, it was Corvettestingray. One word. I don't care what GM put or didn't put on the car, it's a Corvettestingray to me.

Hi 1969L46, a room full of 'Trophies" thats got to make you feel great! I've had some of the cars you mentioned, they were mostly used and when they broke down I'd get something else that I could afford. Who knew that today they are priceless!
The only trophie I ever got was Top 25 out of 25 that showed up. That was with my 74 T-Top, stop laughing!
As far as Stingray or not, I never gave it any thought, I like the C-3 style, so thats what I bought. It was only after I found this forum that I realized that such a great debate even existed. So I ordered and installed some new Stingray emblems. So will it go any faster with the new emblems? PG.
