ok so call me stupid, but what makes the stop being stingrays?

i mean is it just because they stopped puting badges on them? i know they went from metal to plastick bumpers some time around then, but i thought that was earlier like 73ish.. (could be very wrong... not really a vette guys cuase i never saw myself driving one...)

FYI the 73 was first with front urethane bumper (still had chrome rear bumpers), 74 had urethane on both ends with a two-piece rear. 75 thru 82 had one-piece on both ends.

 

That's cool ! Thanks for the Info!

 

63-67 = Sting Ray
69-76 = Stingray

 

Somebody gets it!

Welcome to the forum.

 

but y are vettes of the same body style stingrays and not stingrays? is it just the lack of the badge from GM?

Thanks,
I'm feeling very welcomed here!!!

 

yup,....you got it!

 

In '77 when they removed the Stingray script, they also moved the alarm switch (next to the script) to the driver's door lock.

 

my 68 did not come with stingray emblem,and i could care less. the orignal showroom lit on 68 does call it a stingray,and all GM called lit. called it a stingray,but also told you it does not come with emblem.i will remind people that owns a corvette,i dont care what year it is you own the finest american sports car ever made!
