Why this page

The Corvette C2 Sting Ray as a whole was built in large numbers, so it is not a rare car in itself and has no car page of its own. This page collects what is rare about it: the versions, engine and option packages built in small numbers – each with its own page and full history when it is a car collectors look for by name – and the factory colours with a documented production count, which are rows in a table, not cars of their own. Body styles of one version (coupé, convertible, hardtop) are rows of that version's production table.

Rare versions of the Corvette C2 Sting Ray
