What's the best Stingray for a novice to own?

by Dman
(New York)

I've always loved the look of the Stingrays (and Sting Rays) and would love to own one. However I am concerned with maintenance issues and costs. I'm not necessarily looking for a Special Edition model or to pay more than $10K. So between 1970 and 1985, what years should I look to buy and what years should I avoid for a Stingray?

Sorry dude. 76 was the last year the "Stingray" name was used. So for price and the Stingray name I would suggest a 75 or 76. I found a 76 for 9K so they are out there.

I'd go with 1980 to 1982. They look the nicest and sell well if restored.
