All '76's were badged and sold as a Corvette Stingray. '76's were also the last Corvette sold as a Stingray, despite that the body style lasted until 1982. They only had a coupe for '76, and it could have been ordered in either a L-46 or L-82. ===> Correct me if I am wrong.

This topic has been discussed many times. Although the 68 was not badged as a Stingray, there was some GM literature at the dealers calling them a Stingray. Seems there was so much going on in bringing the new body style to market that it was just bypassed. Actually it is more Stingray ( one word ) than all other years from 68 - 76 because it is the first year of the C3 body style.
