How Much Would It Cost?

[rudyb]

If the 1983 corvette were ever for sale, how much do you think it would bring? Who would be most likely to buy it?

It would have to be a diehard collectable since the early 80s were an awful time to be a car guy- the engines were still choking on smog equipment back then.

Well there is only 1 of them in existence and it's in the corvette museum, so I imagine it'd have to fetch a pretty penny for them to sell it. Like billions of dollars

 

Though i've seen one for sales on CL before!

What are you talking about? Do you mean the one in the Corvette museum? All 43 of the 44 made 1983 C4 Corvettes were destroyed so there is only one and thats is where its at.

You mean this Corvette?

 

[MikeNH]

I think that's the point- there's only one so calling it rare does no justice, but it's still an early C4 so the power just isn't there.

Lol, yes everyone I know there is only one left and I know that it is in a museum. That's What made me curious. Only one left on the planet for a reason, they had quality issues tat weren't resolved until about 4 months prior to production of the 84 (if my memory is correct). Obviously it would have to be a die hard collector. Maybe jay Leno? Just thought it would make for an interesting discussion. Btw, I think the C4 body style kicks ass. I hate the stock wheels, but I've loved that car since I was a little kid.

...and there are a few C4s that had some power. Ever heard of the callaway sledgehammer? ;)
