Quoted from ckcsm:

Check out the gills on the shark, if you check out a 65 - 66 Corvette you will see 3 vents in the fenders, a 67 has 5, just like the Mako shark.

correction. the 1965 had 3 vents; the '66, 4 vents and the '67, 5 vents. 1967 also marked the last year of that stingray body style.

Quoted from ckcsm:

I think if you check the 65 - 66 have the same fenders - 3 vents, 67 went to 5. 63 -4 had indents in the fenders but no vents, they were put in to help cool the engine compartment.
How does the game play? I may have to consider it as I do own a 1965 Corvette.

yep, you were right. not sure why I thought what I did. and yes, 63-64 had 2 horizontal indents. my uncle had a 63 split window, and my dad a 64 before he restored a 67 from the ground up back when I was a kid. sold it too, right before I turned 16 and got my driver's license
