I found a '83 Corvette this past Saturday, my neighbor down the block had his garage door open when we were taking the kids for a walk.  I've lived here almost 2 years now and have never seen it yet.  That was pretty cool, at least he's a car guy  :cheers:

They actually made a couple dozen 83 Corvettes. Quality problems were so bad they stopped the line. Production was delayed for so long that when the line restarted they just titled them 84's. All but one of the 83's were destroyed. The one remaining 83 resides at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green Kentucky, behind the glass on a rotating display table. Just in case anyone wanted know.
1972 Charger Topper Special, 360ci, 46RH OD trans, 8 3/4 sure grip with 3.91 gear, 14.93@92 mph.
1973 Charger Rallye, 4 speed, muscle rat. Whatever engine right now?

So it looks like an '84, or an '82?

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

"That's not to say that Chevrolet never built any 1983 Corvettes. Actually, 44 cars were assembled — all pilot cars that cost an estimated 500,000 each to fabricate.

The 44 Corvettes built as pilot cars were assigned 1983 serial numbers. Of the 44 cars built, 11 were retained by the Bowling Green plant for assembly process evaluations and other tests. The remaining 33 went to engineering for crash tests and other engineering appraisals. The cars also saw duty at the long lead press preview at Riverside Raceway in december 1982.
     This new Corvette was due to be released in the fall of 1982, however continued high sales of the 1982 model and ramp up problems at the new Bowling Green assembly plant forced the introduction date to be pushed back to march 1983 as 1984 models. For that reason, all but one of the 44 1983 pilot cars were destroyed. Only serial number 23 was retained by the assembly plant as a relic of the past."
