New Stingray specific forum
I hope it is not against forum rules to mention it but I just found a new site specific to the older C3 " STINGRAYS " which are 68-76 . I guess it includes 68 ( And it should ) even though it wasn't badged as a Stingray but still advertised as a Stingray by GM. I won't mention the name until and if it clears the administrators. I will enjoy the new site but it won't take me away from this one unless the administrators want rid of me.

Might be a good site but what is the value of a site based solely on a name. Is a 76 really that much more interesting than a 77? I think 68-72 is a logical choice but if you are going to 76 strictly based on the badge I would include them all. How about the C7 Stingray, are they included? This is the best C3 site anywhere.

Hi,
I've often thought that whether a car has the Stingray script or not is much ado about nothing.
They're 68-82 Corvettes, and with-in those years there are many similarities and many differences…. none of them having to do with the car having the script or not.
Time will tell about a new site/forum.
Regards,
Alan

Nothing against proud owners of "Stingray" badged C3s (I've owned a couple myself), but I'd rather not associate with the type who feel theirs is any more a Corvette than the next one because they happen to have a particular emblem, and which is my exact perception of such a site. Think I'll put a couple on my '78 just to p--- them all off.

Always wondered how those guys could drive when their chin was higher than their nose.

Since this is always a sensitive subject no matter how you break it down your going too offend someone. Since the first stingrays all came with chrome bumpers before the rubber bumpers were introduced probably what would make sense would be 68-72 but that would ruffle even more feathers and after all the badging did continue through 76.

Simple , It was advertised by GM in their showroom brochures as a Stingray and in some as a StingRay ( Both Spellings ) GM couldn't even make up their mind what they were. I think they forgot to put the emblems on .

The forum does in fact have rules against linking other Corvette sites:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...ate-links.html
Inappropriate links:
Before posting a video, (gif), or link, on the CF, please check the website to determine if it contains any material that violates any of these forum rules:

Although the video may be appropriate for the forum, other links on the site may not be.
The sites cannot contain: profanity, sexual images, inappropriate images (babe pic's), graphic/offensive material, etc. Moderators have the final say in their appropriateness for the good of the forum.
Members need to remember that if you cannot post anything against the forum rules directly in the thread, you cannot link to it either.

If you are unsure about something you are thinking about posting, don't post it and PM a Moderator for prior approval.
--------------------
Between that and the obvious friction brewing here regarding 69-76 Corvettes and other years, Stingrays vs non-Stingray, etc, I think this thread has probably run its course.
