Hemmings Daily | The Lost Corvette

The 1983 Chevrolet Corvette, due to arrive 30 years after the model’s debut, was designed to be a game-changer. From the beginning, the fourth-generation Corvette was meant to be a world-class sports car, but engineering, regulatory, and development delays pushed its launch into 1983, as a 1984 model. Officially, there were no 1983 Corvettes (at least in dealerships), prompting Corvette collector, restorer, and friend-of-Hemmings Chris Mazzilli to ponder what might have been. The Lost Corvette, a one-hour documentary premiering July 8 at 10:00 p.m. on the History Channel, documents Chris’ efforts to construct his version of the ideal “1983 Corvette.”
