Nice to hear the back story about the '83s. I remember one of our neighbors bought a new white C4, either an '84 or '85 model. The owner was out in the driveway cleaning it one day as my dad & I drove by. My dad rolled the window down & said to the owner - "My son will get his driver's license soon. Can he come over & ask to borrow your Corvette when he gets it?" The C4 owner said - "He can but I will politely tell him no." We all had a good laugh.
Hi Rick, the C4 still looks sleek even today. Thanks for sharing the history.👌👍
Dammm I forgot about that one. Ironic that’s the year I graduated (83) 😂🤣. Thank you Rick
For 30+ years I always wondered why no 83 corvette ......thanks so much😃
Good day Rick; great story and history, as it pertains to the 1983 Corvette, thank you for sharing that story with us; wonderful & safe weekend, to all in our Corvette community & family; Corvettes # 1.
Great history Rick about the 1983. It made me reflect on that year and some old memories that occurred during my college days.
I remember Chevrolet not making the 83 Corvette but they never gave a clear explanation why. Thanks for posting this Rick, its like a history lesson but it explains everything.
Thanks, Rick, very interesting, I ordered my first Vette as an 84, torch red, but paint problems persisted with the bumpers and I changed to medium metallic blue!
So great to hear the “real story” behind the 1983 Corvette! Glad you could bring it to us with the help of NCM.
Having read, "All Corvettes Are Red”, a few years ago, this video was a nice supplement to the story. Now I’ve got to read it again to put it in context. Very informative! Thanks! Love the hat!!
Nice backstory! Amazing car never “left” the plant...glad it survived & is on display!👍🏼
Great info on the ‘83 that I never had heard before so thanks so much for sharing - a great piece of history!
Great story Rick !! Enjoyed all that history and behind the scenes footage!!
I had a 1973 Corvette and was anxiously waiting to see the new C 4
Great story! Thanks NCM and Rick for sharing.
Great to always learn about Corvette history.
Thanks Rick I had heard so many stories about the 83 corvette and now we no the rest of the story makes me think of Paul Harvey when he would say Now You know The Rest Of The Story
Interesting info Rick, My Father as well purchased a early 1984 Corvette.
It had so many issues that GM took it back for inspection we think. My father had a total of 54 Corvette's throughout his life.
He Raced them, drove them, crashed a few of them but none of them gave him so much trouble like that 84. Dad many years later purchased a ZR1 a late 90's im pretty sure. and Wow was that a car. Thats when I really fell in love with Corvette.
Thanks for the memories Rick.
This was a real cool walk through time.
Thanks Rick for sharing the story of the only 1983 Corvette to survive. By the way I know Ralph (the gentleman with the cowboy boots)
Rick I enjoyed the vlog very much! A little history about Corvette. Put out some more vlogs about Corvette History I find it very interesting! Good Job!!!
Thank God for those new boots that saved the only 83 Corvette ever to survive
Great video!! Awesome to hear the whole story! Thanks for sharing!
That was a great history lesson Rick I really enjoyed it. O by the way, Nice Hat!
🖐🖐🖐👋👍
Great story! Thanks for sharing it, Rick.
great Vlog, I remember those days, I wanted a C-4. funny thing is 25 grand for a C-4 seemed like way more than 80 grand does today for a C-8 today, interest rate's at the time where above 10 percent. If I remember correctly the first C-4 are not known for reliability, GM was struggling with the emissions, CAD was just coming around, Widows 95 had not been released yet, how many folks worked with Windows 3.0, We have come along ways.
Nice historical review of the only surviving C4 1983 corvette Rick great story and upload. Only one of kind. have great day Rick. Tom from SC.
Hey Rick awsome Chanel I just got a 2007 c6 z51 and so happy with it. Vettes are so American muscle and for the money there unsurpassed.
Thank you for this fascinating documentary.
Freakin' awesome video Rick!
Great history lesson! Thanks Rick!
Love this episode! Thanks for the history lesson! ❤️
Very good vlog, Rick. Enjoyed it thoroughly!
Hey Rick, I bought a new 84 in march of 84. This was quite a change from my 81 C3. It got a lot of the looks people are getting with the C8s. It was not fast at all compared to the newer models but, It was a unique experience for me. I was fond of that car and in 2011 I purchased a used 84 and completely restored it. Corvette has been a big part of my life and I really appreciate your VLOGS.
Thanks for your time. Stay safe Vincent
Rick, fantastic! Another great Vlog...
My dad had one of the first ‘84s in Florida, ended up suing GM and they had to buy the car back due to MANY issues including brakes would fully go out
Brett Lowenthal - your dad didn't sue GM. He may have sued the dealer but he didn't have the horsepower to sue GM in 1984.
Thanks again Rick
Thanks Rick!
That was a great story 👍👍
First Corvette I ever drove was a red C4 about two years ago. I'll never forget it.
Really liked the 83 Vette story. Thx
I had 1954 and 1956 Chevrolets with many of the components that let Chevrolet turn the 1953 Corvette Show car into a production car. Chevrolet was selling more Cars in America then any other manufacturer. And the components were reliable enough to make the C1 Corvette a good car! But Dealers got Corvettes and people were not excited about spending the price of a Buick Road Master for a two seat sports car. It is a miracle the car has survived until now!
Great Story! 🇺🇸
Thank you for the history lesson Rick. First time I went to the plant and I saw a sign 1982 Corvette I definitely did a double take.
Where would Corvette be today without C4. We have owned an 86 and two 96 C4s very good drivers.
Oh yeah Rick it's been two weeks since my car was built and still no word on shipping I hate this waiting game . Thanks for the link to the Elkhart Lake blue pictures
slow but sure....
Pretty slick with the hat there Ricky 😎
I still remember seeing the first c4 not as much hype as today. I couldn't get over how wide the tires were.
Thanks for the history Rick!! Order status on yours yet? :) BTW, nice hat!!
And it survived the sinkhole!!!!
great great vlog as the rolling stones use to say tiiiimmmme is on my side 379 days and waiting be s
so thats why :D awsome
Awesome story Rick like to see more content like this?
thanks, plan on it, mixing it up a bit
I had a 1993 Corvette and letting the engineers design and build the Corvette was good then and with the C8 introduction is very very good now! I took delivery on my new C8 Sting Ray at 6 pm on 8-6-2920 and Ran the first 500 miles in by about midday on the 7th it is what any Automobile should be! The C8 is a base 2LT and the interior design people insisted I pay $590.00 extra for a Red Interior in a Elkhart Lake Blue Stingray.. I had gray seats in my 1993 and I the interior people were a little older might remember the 1953 had a red interior. So GM if you are listening I want the $590.00 back for Sears that should have been free in any C8!
Good work. Newbie John
Rick - Thank You Very Much for the clip on the 1983 Vette! Great to know!! How- Do I get on the list for the C8 ZO6? BTW -APPRECIATE your Vlogs- makes my day!
Thanks so much Dennis, shoot me an email, once we start reserving spots I will reach to those of you on that list. rickconti@coughlincars.com
Appreciate you watching
The Competition Seats. Are for competition and unless Corvette wants to pay you to race the Car should be there. Like the Z51 option They don’t make the Car faster then a Stingray they are just there to looks good. All show no go!
Nice hat, I hope you ordered a lot of them b/c everyone getting a send off pat should be wearing one.
I can’t find where to buy one. Is he selling them? If so, where?
I dont know.@@lanceaustin2535
on my 4th C3, still have a 1979 - best i can say, a C4 is not a pleasing design style
and they sound like a Toyota that needs a new muffler ! - C8 2021 reordered. fred CT.
Hey Rick, any idea how many if any 84's were sold with the, I believe, 15" wheels picture on the 83??
*Tune In Next Time for another Chevrolet History Lesson with Rick Corvette*
I bought a brand new 1984 Corvette within a few months of their being offered for sale by dealers. I remember it was painted (from the factory) a two tone bronze - light bronze and dark bronze. I don't know of any year other than 1984 that Corvettes were offered for sale as two tone models. If anybody knows differently please post a comment with details. I enjoyed the car but when the much improved 1985 model was released I traded in my two tone '84 at the dealer for a solid bright red '85 model. I really enjoyed that red '85 and kept it for many years. It was quite a "looker".
C-4 Corvettes were available in 2 tone from 1984 thru 1987
HEY, RICK..................Where can I get a cap? I'd like to be the only kid on my block with one.
What are those wheels?
I prefer the salad shooters myself lol
So what's the story with the wheels????? In none on the older photos is it fitted with those wheels. They are unlike any Vette wheel I can recall seeing, yet no one mentions them.
If not I. But I hate auto correct!
the C8 is millennial trash better suited for GTA or other video games, so who cares about the seat;
i wouldn’t take one as a gift;
a car with an automatic transmission is just a taxi..it will NEVER be a sports car;
and if i wanted a battery operated RC car i’d get a Tesla;
sorry, but i’m not a millennial nor am i George Jetson;
