Nothing officially in production. GM maaay have done something as a one off, but I'm not aware of anything. No 'general production' cars had any type of visual 'shark' emblems or anything.Pseudomind said:But was there a Corvette actually badged with a shark emblem, OEM?
C3RVETTE said::confused :cry I think they want to hold on to whatever they have thats a little different from the have-nots.
68 was not called 'Stingray' nor was a 77. Again, the 'shark' reference is to the 'Mako shark II' prototype. A C3 looks like more like a sting ray (the aquatic mammal) than a shark, or than a C2 does. I personally don't care who thinks my Corvette is less of a car because it doesn't say 'Stingray' on it, or that my Sportster DOES say AMF on it. I'm just glad they chose to name it after a battleship, than some of the other happy names given to cars like 'Aspire' (wannabe) or 'Protege' (underling) JUST MY OPINION.Ganey said:Since 63, for 15 years (63-77) Corvette & Sting Ray were synonymous.

Honestly, I don't have a problem with people calling '77-'82's Stingray's. Unless you are a purist, what is the big deal? When I am talking about my '76, I don't call it a "Stingray" or "Ray", it's my Vette or my Corvette. To me, "Stingray" is just a pretty emblem they put on the side of my Vette at the factory. As stated above, Stingray's didn't get higher HP, better handling equiptment, better interiors, or anything else.
If a '77-'82 Vette passes you at 100+mph, I don't think many people would care if it was badged a "ray" or not.
Every '63-'82 basicly shares the same chasis and suspension design.
The differences in interiors between '68-'82 stem from cutting production costs not improving the performance of car and driver.
And the rear window of the '78-'82 is more simular to the windows of the '63-'67 Sting Rays than those of '68-'76 & '77.
If you wanna get nit-picky, or you still have the OEM air in your tires, then by all means, set them straight. Just remember that these are people who are making comment (usually admiration) about something that you have put plenty of time, money, and/or "blood, sweat, and tears" into. Don't take it as a sign of disrespect if they call your '77-'82 a "ray". Be glad they took the time to show thier appretiation......but what do I know...
Sarcasm?I'm sure that the people producing the show "Did/do their homework" before they pass on any information.
The Last C2 Sting Ray.I know the "Last Sting Ray" was '67.
