Yes, those Stingrays were quite popular. I had the coaster brake model in red, just like in this picture. Then in about 3rd grade (1976 for me) BMX hit my town and I converted my Stingray into a BMX machine, ditched the banana seat for a Messenger saddle, added BMX handle bars and knobby tires. I guess that was really my first hot rod!
