1983 C4
Rusty nuts:
It was a corvette built in 1983 not an 1983 model corvette. there is a big difference, that's why it is so cheap!!! If it was the rare corvette that you think it is The price would be through the roof, and belive me the Americans would not let that slip through their fingers.
bfit:
The first c4 was available for sale in March of 1983 , March!
The California version was officially available in April of 1983.
The 1984 production was at bowling green,
There was 51k of them made 4200 a month , not what you would call rare, the 84 model vette was the second highest production year for corvette,
Vettech:
My 2017 year model Mustang was built on or after 1st July 2016, imported Oct, took delivery Nov'16.
Ford US works so that cars made after 1st July are next years model.
Mainly because of orders from both customers and dealers, a vast volumn is required to kick off the new calendar year.
Anyway thats what a Ford dealer told me.
Vettech:
And Bfit is right, there were a heap of '84s built.
But they were a transitional one off type.
The base and Z51 cars had the greatest cornering of any production car up till that time.
In fact the complaints and queaks, rattles etc forced GM to downrate and modify susequent years suspension, ride and handling.
An 84 with special paint or something will be worth dollors in time, not sure I'll live that long.
Heaps have had the "throttle body injection" replaced with later TPI or a carby. Heads replaced to later 87 style roller rocker heads.
So original 84's will be worth keeping.
gtc:
Regardless of door sticker (and is that the original door?), it could be riddled with structural rust, the engine may run like a turd and the transmission may whine like an air raid siren, among other problems.
No way I'd toss $10K at a car without checking it out myself.
But I wish the buyer well.
