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.
