Look at the area where the car is, looks like a slum. That and it's parked outside what appears to be some 2 bit garage. I bet it was "taken care of" real well. I bet when you talk to the guy it would be "more gooder" than a regular Vette and a special package only available in the UK.

Has anyone done a google search for say.. 1980 corvette stingray?
LOL
Alot of confused people out there then.

I have no clue when they started the stingray( I think 66, then dropped for 68, started back in 69 & then ended again in 76). Just going off a very vague memory.

I was actually wondering the same thing. I know so much about the C4 but very little about the other gen's. It would be embarrassing to get into a conversation someday and not know what a stingray actually is.

Anyone care to chime in?

Sting Ray(two words) in 1963 lasted till 1967.
1968 they skipped over and in 1969 they went to Stingray(one word) until 1976.

Cool, thank you for the info.

Do you know what distinguishes a SR from a non-SR? Is it a handling package, interior, performance? Kinda like the C4's that have the Z51 vs. the non Z51 cars?

The seller won. He wanted attention and we all gave it to him. Yes, you all are correct that is a moron, scammer, 76 was the last Stringray and that is a 96 CE badge.

Yeah, ZR1 and LT5 badges too. That would triple my 86's value. Oh, and I can say it's a rare vert ZR1 too.
