Did you email for proof? Chevrolet must have fooled us all producing all these '83's and not letting us know.

This is the first time i have seen an 83 c 3 i think. Usually i see 83 c 4's. Just saw one at the local car show wednesday. My son wouldn't let me call him on it. He said the guy would hide in my bushes.

I offered him $15,000 if he could prove was the elusive 83'... and I'll pay him in $3 dollar bills.

Hi,
I guess that extra $50 is there to give him some negotiating room; but for a car as rare as this one you'd think he'd get the asking price or maybe even a bidding 'war' that'll drive the price sky high!
Regards,
Alan

I would like to go see the car then ask him to show the title, then see what the next step is, the bank or the police.

It doesnt say anything in the as about being rare. I'm guessing the owner has no idea about Corvettes. maybe he's going by the build date on the door and doesnt even know they never made them in '83.

I dont think he's trying to fool anyone. he's probably just ignorant.
