How many people who own c3's that are not classified as stingrays tell others that it is just to shut them up

 

Not to start any arguments here but... as everyone know's 69-76's were Stingrays. All of the other C3'S (68,77-82) were just Corvettes. I have always wanted a "Stingray" Corvette since I was about 8 years old, that is why I bought a 1976. I passed by quite a few 80's and 77's that I could have bought for next to nothing because, I wanted a real "Stingray" Corvette. I hope no one takes offence to this answer, but I am just stating what I think (and know) is the correct answer to this poll..... Dan

 

yah i totally understand that mine isnt a stingray its just people will walk up to me and be like "hey this is a stingray huh" and im like yah whatever, probably about once aday somebody says that

 

The mid-year crowd will contend that even tho 69-76 had Stingray script on them, the 63-67 were the only "true" Stingrays. In fact a '67 just sold at Barrett-Jackson and was billed as the "Last Stingray" The '68 actually came from the Mako Shark design.

 

My '80 is a "Fast Back" so to speak. A lot of people call it a Corvette "Stingray". I say "No, it's a Corvette "Starship" ". They nod kinda knowingly, like, "but of course, I should have known"! I love it!

 

Starship you do make me laugh No man thats a "Starship"
.I never knew that such a debate raged among fellow C-3 owners, if you didn't own one, could you tell one year from the next?
So are all C-3's Stingrays or not?PG

 

Well I think if the manufacturer designates it's product with a certain name than that is what it is. if the designation is not given than it's not. right?

it's kinda like the 4 cyl. 5.0 mustang thing.

if it's a Stingray it's a Stingray if it's not, it's not. My '87 is not, my '73 is. that was simple, huh?

 

 

I think Blueshark covered it . My 75 was a sting ( sold it ) my current ride (86 vert) is not.

 

I have a 74. On the side of it it has a little decal, probably made of plastic or cheap metal. It says "Stingray". Not sure how much simpler it can get.
