Wonder why you would put that on ebay and not list shipping to the US of A. Much
bigger market and would assume a much better price.

Also the assumption that it is a 1996 missed the mark by about 6 years.

Are you right in the head? - The cost of shipping would be more than the
toy is worth.

How so? - The C4 (I think - can anyone confirm it's a C4?) Corvette had
a very long production span. From 1983 to 1996, ISTR.

No, I'm not right in the head, I'm talking to you, ain't I? I also shipped to
and from the UK on a regular basis and the "toy" as you call it is worth about
$1000 used in the US. Unless they rip you off on packaging it's still a good buy
at the $70us that is bid and I'd go much more. That's why it would help if the
shipping cost was stated.

You need to get your head out of your ass and take a look at it. Hint, notch
back and vertical gills. No 1983 Corvettes were produced. Now back in your hole

I must apologize for not paying attention and cross posting to other news
groups. Never meant to bring the fools out of the woodwork.

Nice one. Not too many people know that, and as a result, it's a good
pub bet.

Bonus points for knowing why.

But it's completely wrong.

The car was produced in 1983, but sold as a 1984 model.

HTH.

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.

Trivia: Pop music singer "Prince" released the song, "Little
Red Corvette".
