Default Stingray tv show

Does anyone know what became of the two cars(1965 Black small block Coupes) used on the NBC TV show STINGRAY in the late 1980's, that starred Nick Mancuso? I have sent out info requests to a few out in British Columbia, where the show was filmed, including the shop that supposedly serviced the cars, but no joy.
Thanks

Are you serious? How about the story of how you got it? What about a photograph? I'm certain a lot of people on this forum would love to hear more if you'd be so kind as to share.

Although I never saw the show except in clips here on the cf I find this thread to be a crazy cool coincidence.

I remember that show, it was pretty lousy except for the few shots of the car- that was the only reason I watched it. I think it lasted about 10 episodes.

I didn't see it when it was originally on, but I am watching it now in reruns. I'm actually rather enjoying it. It's dated (especially with all the music) but still better than most of the junk that is currently on tv.

I never knew about this show until this thread, but wiki says it ran two seasons, 24 episodes.

Never heard of the show...oddly enough. Was hooked on Land's End in the early '90's with Fred Dreyer only because he drove a blue '66 GTO convertible with a parchment interior.....car was an automatic,though. Geoffrey Lewis was his sidekick. As for the Sting Ray in question, it, along with the '61 next to it needs to go inside a building......being parked in a field isn't doing it any favors.

I didn't recall, I did watch them all though. Maybe by the 10th show I was almost done!

Lest we not forget Martin Milner and his Route 66 escapades.
