Officially,
There were no 1983 Corvettes. There were forty seven
1983 Corvettes made
but none were ever sold. The National Corvette Museum has the only 1983
known at this time. The new Corvette plant in Bowling Green, KY closed
in October of 1982 to begin retooling for the
1984 Corvette. Production
began in January of 1983 and the press received their first view of the
1984 Corvette in January of 1983. In February, the first production
1984
Corvettes were sold to the public. In March of 1983, the 1984 Corvette
officially went on sale in the United States, except for California and
a month later, in April, the 1984 Corvette went on sale in California.
By October of 1983, the plant was in full speed production.
