theres no difference between a stingray and a regular corvette. the sting ray designation was used on every corvette from '63 to '67, it was dropped in '68, and in 69 it was brought back now as 1 word, stingray. this was kept until 1976

positive. thats how u can tell the difference between 68 and 69 vettes, the 69 had a stingray emblem on the fender, and the 68 had nothing.
anyone wanna guess the other external difference between the 68 and 69 cars?

OK, in 1953, how many transmission choices were there? What were the choices? How many cars were so equipped?

Not so! All of them came with the powerglide, but there were 2(!) other options, although none were ever made. So, any guesses as to what they were?

Actually there were two 83 vettes but one was used in a crash test.

Yes, the 3 speed manual was one of them, and you are soooo close to the other option (which made much more sense)
Also, the 3 speed option persisted for several years, although it is doubtful any vettes ever had one.

anyone know what vette is woth the most today??
it'd be the 1967 L88, it's worth up to $650,000 because it was the first year they had L88's in them and they claimed it only had 430 hp and it acutally pumped out around 550 to 560 hp.

For corvettes availible to the public I would put my vote in the most valuable being one of the two ZL1's that were built in '69.
What year did corvette brochures offer an LS7 motor for corvettes, but none were manufactured?

yeah, i would have to agree with you on the ZL1s. Maybe a GrandSport (they are available to the public) or an SR-2 as well. A few weeks ago I saw a piece of trash that was supposed to be the third SR-2 go for $80,000 (US). This was an absolute basketcase...no paint or interior, terrible chassis, incorrect engine, and not even a confirmed identity--there was no paperwork. I also saw a 69 L88 with 12 miles on it (thats right 12) hit upwards of 700,000 but it didn't make the reserve so it wasn't sold. these were at bloomington gold (a huge vettte show/auction)
I have no idea about the LS7, maybe '71? btw for anyone who doesn't know, the SR-2 was the first real attempt at a factory corvette racing car. 2 actually raced back in '57 and its was rumored there was a third testing mule, but never confirmed. the 80,000 dollar car was supposedly the unconfirmed test mule.

If I remember right, in 1970 corvette literature offered the 454 LS7 big-block, but the biggest one put into corvettes was the LS6. What I don't remember for sure was the hp on the LS6. Surely it was a little more than what they put in the chevelles at the time.
What was the last year for a fuel injected 327 corvette?
