Amazing number of Grand Sports. 62.9% of the total 2012 build. 
Add to that 4.1% Z06's & 3.5% ZR1's = 70.5% Wide Body's.
Why not just due away with the regular Coupe body? Make them all wide Body cars.

I hope that the upcoming C7 is a home run and generates interest and desire once again in the under 35 group which in the current ec. state makes affordability tougher. There are just so many choices avail today compared to when I got my first Revell model car in the mid '60s, to glue together and paint - a C2 coupe that I painted red. That started my luv of these cars.
As others have said, I hope it survives.
Here's a link to more data.

Hey! What about those 84s that have build dates in 1983? look on your door stickers. My 84 was built in April 84, but surely some were built earlier. Those are not "technically" 83s, but........
