Kinda reminds me of an Opel GT more than a Corvette.

You know, that's immediately what I thought, too, Steve.

It says 1968-1969 to me. I had a 3 way Black Convertible The 69 cues are there!
The 1969 model was the first "Stingray" done after the second generation of cars. 63 to 67's were the first generation of "Stingrays" all tho they were built on the second generation of cars C-2's tho the 59 racer was a "Stingray Prototype" Racer a modified C-1 with a tubular space frame. I think two of those were built. GM used the "Stingray" name through 1976 when they let it fade away. Not till the 2014 C-7 would it be used again. The "Stingray" is a powerful marketing tool/name. I am not aware of any C-4, C-5 or C-6 cars marketed as a "Stingray".
