I bought a 1976 and not a 1977 partly because of wanting to call mine a Stingray. I understand why you might refer to a 1977 as that same body style. However, it is not a Stingray.
Sorry.
It's not.
No, really.
It isn't.
Seriously.
I mean it.
I'm not kidding.
Really.
Quite sure.
Yep.

please don't take ANYTHING I say seriously!! 
.... I certainly don't!! My comment that the Chevy marketing people were confused was made in jest.... although for all I know there may be a germ of truth there.... and I may have inadvertently made a valid point when I suggested that a 68 cannot be a Stingray because the word hadn't been invented yet...... Anyway, it was not intentional (making a valid point, that is... ) OK?
