The majority of people call all C3’s corvette stingrays. The stingray name is very associated with that shape.
It is a pretty call name tho.

To be fair, a fair amount of C3s did come with the name "Stingray" actually on them above the "gills". Though not in 1968.... which is confusing at shows when Joe Public ask "Is that a Stingray?" Well.... yes and no. 1969 onwards they had the Stingray badge, and looked the same, but in 1968 they didn't have the badge. So technically mine is NOT a Stingray, but from Joe Public eyes it is a Stingray. I normally just answer "Yes, it is a Stingray", because it is easier and less likely to confuse people.

The end of the stingray name plate was for the 1977 model year, but as I said previously the name is associated with the C3 design. I’ve seen many cars post 76 with the stingray script adorning their fenders.
It’s a cool name for a car.

I find its the purists and people with the older C3s that go on about Stingrays. And more Americans i find go on about it. Calling the posy 78 are not stingrays and well...crap.
Couldnt car less my self as.i know what i have and happy with it.

They are all Stingray’s to me.
One of my favourite non stingray corvettes. Yes, I know people will moan about its cross fire motor, but the 82 Corvette collector edition ‘corvette’ was a beautiful car. Those wheels, based on the 1967 Sting Rays bolt on, which are considered the best ever corvette wheel are lovely.
