Car and Driver US C VIEW PHOTOS MSRP $180,000–$205,000 By Andrew Wendler Overview Times have changed since Car and Driver dubbed the first ZR1 “the Corvette from hell” back in 1990, but those three characters still carry a heavy burden.

The new Corvette was based largely on the 1959 Sting Ray racer conceived by GM styling head Bill Mitchell with input from Pete Brock and Larry Shinoda. The coupe featured a center “spine” which bisected the rear window and ran rearward to the rear of the car, giving it the look of a stingray’s backbone. The new Chevy...
Hi Guy’s…Last year, while reading the latest publication of our International Pontiac Club Magazine (Smoke Signals).

After a 30 minute discussion, I was informed that they offered a Original Owner Award at the yearly Car Show Convention.

History, Specifications, VIN, Options, Performance, & More 1965 Corvette Overview – The Ultimate Guide As the 1965 model year approached, the design team behind the Chevy Corvette continued to refine the overall design of the C2 Sting Ray, making only minor cosmetic changes in the process. Instead, the focus for the second-generation’s third year centralized on some significant mechanical upgrades that would vastly improve the Corvette’s already impressive handling and drivability. At the same time, 1965...
Taking a closer look at the second-generation Corvette The second-generation Corvette sold from 1963 to 1967 and came to be known as the Sting Ray. This particular car was born from a handful of experimental and prototype machines that designers/engineers Zora Arkus-Duntov and Bill Mitchell had worked on toward the end of the C1 production run. For Zora, the car had yet to reach its full performance potential in the first generation. There was...

Rare home movies chronicle the first Corvettes going into production. Each one is built by hand at the GM factory in Flint, Michigan. Only 300 Corvettes were built that first year. All 1953 Corvettes were white with a red interior, all had Powerglide automatic transmissions mated to 150 HP, six cylinder engines with three carburetors and dual exhaust. Of those 300, 255 survived. Source: http://www.corvettemuseum.org/library…
