...I just wanted to set the record straight on the car because I plan on taking it to Barrett-Jackson this winter and they are using it as one of the feature cars for the auction and I dont think the Bull Sh*t thats being said about the car will help it. Im not trying to be an a** hole but Im definately not the type of guy that rips other peoples cars or makes up B.S. stories about them to make myself or my car feel/look better..

WTF are you talking about, and why are you talking about it here? Can't you see this thread is in enough turmoil over the Sting Ray/Stingray or NOT Sting Ray/Stingray controversy without you coming along and trying to hijack it with trivial nonsense? If you had asked if your Merlin Corvette is a Stingray or not that would have been different, but all you're worried about is your car's reputation? We have no time for that stuff here in this thread. Take it to one of the "Should we split C3 general into two separate sections?" threads.Oh yea, and have a nice day!

68 is not a Stingray
I have an original advertising piece for my 68 and the Sting Ray logo is the two word version from the C2's.
I think they left any logo off due to the rush to get the new body out the door.
