Remarkable car based on the 1959 Corvette Sting Ray created by Bill Mitchell, GM Vice President of styling and Larry Shinoda. The basis of the Stingray was an engineering test mule chassis intended for official Chevrolet attempt at the Le Mans 24hour race. The Stingray featured a 92 inch wheelbase and was nearly 1000lbs lighter than the 1960 production car. It had a 283 ci fuel injected V8 with an output of 315bhp. Raced by Dick Thompson in 1959 and 1960 it went on to win the 1960 SCCA National Championships Retired from racing a passenger seat was fitted and it was exhibited but driven by Mitchell at weekends.
