I had the wonderful opportunity to do voiceover recently for the museum - the video takes you through the history of the Corvette from 1953 through today. If you folks ever need V/O, feel free to reach out :-)
11:00 incorrect the wheels that are on the 83 were a set of prototype/pre production wheels that were never released or made it to the final production cars, ive never seen another set of them anywhere outside of the 83, the cancelled wheels on the 83 are 15 inch wheels when the wheels on the final production C4 were 16 inch wheels, you will NOT find a set, ever No, the 83 was NEVER taken apart or repainted No, the car was never actually hidden, it WAS parked behind the assembly plant for a number of years mostly because the car dodged the car crusher due to a thunderstorm and the guy in charge of getting the cars crushed didnt want to go outside because he bought a new pair of cowboy boots, he intended the car to be crushed the next morning but by then the mobile car crusher had left, after that the plant executives didnt know what to do with the car so they parked it behind the plant and threw a cover of it, after plant management changed the car was then brought inside the plant and displayed in the lobby with a red white and blue stripes livery for a short while, when the National Corvette Museum was opened in 1994, the car then was moved there and put on display and has been ever since
