1967 Chevy Corvette Sting Ray - The Changeling Dr. Barry Long, owner of this remarkable Sting Ray, and builder Alf Ebberoth. Long, who conceived and orchestrated the project, has a lot of hands-on experience working on cars, earned both before and during his years of medical training. As a car-guy first and a doctor second, his concept was simple, based on a previous project for a ’58: “I’ve always wanted to build a Corvette on an original chassis, but with an upgraded suspension and engine,” he recalls. “But have it still look like a classic. I didn’t want to build a hot rod.” “I didn’t want to destroy a restorable classic,” he points out, noting that he’s acquired several originals (including a ’70 ZR1 and a ’90 Guldstrand) over the years and has a respect for the Corvette legacy. All told, the only items worth saving on the ’67 were in the cockpit, and these were sold to help defray the cost of buildup.
