[DeTomaso] 1983 Corvette

[Mike Thomas]

OK, but if 47 1983 'Vettes were made, and one is on display, were the other
46 destroyed?

Whoa boys!  Time for me to chime in here with my useless trivia.  Yes, there
were some 1983 Corvette's built as described here
http://www.idavette.net/facts/83.htm .  Although it says none were sold to
the public, I have an article from a Corvette mag circa 1987 where a car
thief describes had an "order" for a 1984 front clip.  Upon chop shop
disassembly he finds the build sheet under the seat springs stating the
model year, not build date, as a 1983.  This has led to speculation that
some of the origional 1983 Vette's were sold as re-titled 84's.

Not to be a smart A**? But the didn't make a 1983 Corvette. Sorry I couldn't
help myself!

Curt,

There was no model year 1983 Corvette. They were switching over to the C-4
and skipped the 1983 model year. The 1984 C-4 was introduced in mid 1983.
