Saw it, it was a great show.

It is the last Sting Ray, not the last Stingray. I never noticed the difference, before.

Good show, more on the C5 would have been nice but over all a very good history lesson.

Bet it takes several hundred K at the acution.

I wish they would have shown more of the restoration process on the '67. It never ceases to amaze me how people can take an old car that's completely trashed like that and make it so beautiful.

Great catch. My husband and I were wondering what the hell they were talking about with that "last sting ray" part being that our daughter has a 76 "stingray". We didn't figure it out (never even noticed the spelling)---thanks for clearing that up for us---now it makes sense..
