Description
The 1996 retooled version of the Corvette Stingray is a reuse of the Power Command series body casting. It has had its large rear wing spoiler removed and the power feature taken out with the rear window openings closed off. This casting generally has an opaque window piece because there is no interior. More recent castings use darkly tinted window pieces that are not opaque.. This casting is modeled after the '81-'82 Corvette models. They featured a large wraparound rear window and front nose area that has more flare and ground effects along with a flared up integrated rear spoiler.
Mattel mistakenly used the Stingray moniker on this casting. 1976 was the last year General Motors used the Stingray badging on the Corvette until the Debut of the C7 in 2014.
Its new nose, rear window and rear spoiler design details can be used to avoid confusion with the Corvette Stingray (1976) Hot Wheels casting design. The '76 Chevrolet model is similar to the '75 to '77 GM production models.
This casting was only released with a plastic body.
