Why There's No Such Thing as a #1983 #Corvette

Behind the mysterious gap year of America's quintessential sports car.

Initially planned as a 1982 model, the fourth-gen Corvette, by far the most advanced to that time, was first pushed back to a fall 1982 introduction as a 1983 model—and then again to spring 1983 as ambitious upgrades met with further delays. By then, #Chevrolet had decided to designate the “1983” Corvette a 1984.

So the question is, is there a 1983 Corvette?

In my opinion, the answer to this question must be YES, because some prototypes were built in 1983 but these were supposedly all destroyed. So there was a 1983 Corvette but none exists today.

I was on the train into downtown this morning and we rolled past a sports car. I looked up and thought, "oh that's the new Corvette C8."

It didn't occur to me until this evening that the C8 isn't out yet. Someone was driving around a completely uncovered, fully badged preproduction C8 in downtown Denver this morning.

I should have gotten a picture.
