The story of the Sting Ray, identified by the split rear window of the coupe model, and now prized as the greatest of all Corvettes. All the models and options from the first and the fastest Sting Ray are studied in this book. Even with its original 5.3 litre engine, it provided powerful performance, and buyers could specify engines up to 7 litres and 435bhp, giving a 0-60mph acceleration time of 4.8 seconds. Part of the "Essential" series on classic cars, this book also provides complete specifications, performance data, production changes and competition history.
