this is what i thought.... but i've also heard that several were made, but recalled and destroyed because of massive safety defects?

i've also heard that chevrolet was unable to recover about half a dozen of them, possibly due to being taken out of the country.

any truth to this?

My dad has an '89 Vert with a converted rearend to the 92 (I believe) bodystyle where the lights look square with rounded edges. He also bought my Z06 wheels for it. I think it looks good. It's not the Cross-Fire injection, but it is an L98 with the crap 4+3 tranny that he and I both hate. The car was quicker from stoplight to stoplight than my TA (atleast it felt that way), but it runs out of steam quick.

The stingray really ended in the early 70's...the rest were wanna-bes.
